Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Véolia Environnement, French recycling company, announced on 17th April that it is to recruit between 5000 and 9000 permanent workers this year. This represents a decline on recruitment levels in recent years which the company attributes to the economic crisis and its impact on the volume of industrial waste made available for recycling (down 30%). The company has reported difficulties in attracting qualified staff despite the downturn and intends to mount a country-wide recruitment campaign starting in April to hire for positions such as drivers, plumbers and mechanics.
Veolia Environnement employs nearly 300,000 people worldwide.
