The Who Profits Project

Veolia Environment (France) – This Company already attracted the 
attention of European civil society organizations because of its 
involvement in the Jerusalem light rail project, designed to connect 
settlements around Jerusalem to the city centre. The Who Profits project 
ascertained an additional involvement of Veolia in the Israeli 
occupation, and showed that it owns and operates a landfill in the 
occupied Jordan Valley, using captured Palestinian land resources for 
the needs of Israeli settlements.
