Veolia North America, an environmental services company, has announced plans to move its North American headquarters to Boston. The company already has 280 employees in the Boston/Cambridge area and more than 700 employees in Massachusetts.
“We believe that Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area, with its commitment to sustainability and growing a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy, is a perfect fit with Veolia’s mission of ‘Resourcing the world’,” says Veolia North America CEO William DiCroce. “The region is an exceptional hub for talent, innovation and creativity, and it has a rock-solid commitment to sustainability. These qualities mirror the future we envision for Veolia as we develop new ways to meet today’s environmental challenges.”
DiCroce was recently named the new president and CEO of Veolia North America. He previously served as president and chief operating officer of Veolia North America’s Municipal and Commercial business and has led Veolia’s energy business in North America since 2013.
Veolia adds that personnel currently based in Veolia’s downtown Chicago headquarters who do not relocate to Boston will transition to the company’s Lombard, Illinois, offices.
