The 3 Most Painful Failed Mergers of VEOLIA and SUEZ!

You may be the world's two largest Water Companies, yet have quite a terrible track record when it comes to Mergers and Acquisitions. 😅 What's your favorite Fail: - When Veolia divided its M&A money by 10 in 4 years? - or when SUEZ did twice the same move, 20 years apart, for hopefully a different outcome? - or when "Jean-Marie Messier, Me, Myself, Master of the World" took his nickname a bit too seriously? SUEZ and VEOLIA may end up happily married. ... but only if they learn from their past failures 😉 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Why would a Water Company go for M&A? 06:06 Flop n°3 - VEOLIA & US Filter 10:25 Flop n°2 - SUEZ & Nalco 15:49 Flop n°1 - VEOLIA & Universal *** ➡️  Do you like this short format, answering one key question/topic?
