   SUEZ ANNOUNCES THE SUCCESSFUL RENEGOTIATION OF ITS MAIN REVOLVING CREDIT
         FACILITY, NOW INDEXED TO EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

SUEZ took advantage of excellent market conditions to renegotiate its main
revolving credit facility, increase its size from EUR1.5 to EUR2.5 billion,
improve its financial conditions and extend its maturity from February 2021 to
April 2024, with extension options until April 2026.

For the first time in its history, SUEZ has chosen to index the cost of a
financing instrument on the Group's environmental and social performance
indicators, based on its Sustainable Development Roadmap for the period
2017-2021:

- Achieve a 33% rate of women in management for the Group as a whole,
- Reduce by 10% the direct and indirect GHG emissions of its activities,
- Help its customers avoid more than 60 million tons of greenhouse gas
  emissions,
- Develop sustainable access to essential services in developing countries, by
  increasing its revenue by 26% in the targeted countries.

Jean-Marc Boursier, Group Senior Executive VP in charge of Finance and
Recycling & Recovery in Northern Europe, commented: "The success of this
syndication once again demonstrates SUEZ's credit quality, which strengthens
its liquidity under improved conditions and illustrates its ambition to link
financial and extra-financial performance in its business operations."
