Paris, 30 June 2021

SUEZ welcomes the strong support expressed by its shareholders at the General
Meeting and confirms that Q2 has seen a continuation of the recovery observed
                                     in Q1

The SUEZ General Meeting, which was held as a closed session on 30 June 2021 at
the company's headquarters and chaired by Mr. Philippe Varin, adopted all the
resolutions submitted to it. The General Meeting approved the 2020 accounts as
well as the payment of a cash dividend of 0.65 euro per share. The dividend
will be detached on 6 July 2021 and paid on 8 July 2021

The Group is very pleased to have received the strong support of its
shareholders. 40.9% of the shareholders attended the General Meeting, it being
specified that the exercise of the voting rights attached to the 187,810,000
shares held by Veolia, which represent 29.38% of the capital, was suspended in
accordance with the applicable regulations.

The General Meeting also ratified the appointments of Bertrand Meunier, Jacques
Richier, Anthony R. Coscia and Philippe Petitcolin as directors. The Board of
Directors is composed of 14 members, 82% of whom are independent and 45% of
whom are women(1).

The remuneration policy for each of the company directors was approved, as was
the remuneration paid or awarded to them during the past fiscal year.

Philippe Varin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SUEZ, said:

"2020 and the health crisis have highlighted the essential nature of SUEZ's
activities and the vital role of our teams, whose commitment has been total.
This year was also marked by the reshuffling of the Board of Directors, with
the aim of providing the best possible support for the transformation of our
Group. A new page has now been turned with the conclusion of the agreement
between Veolia and our Group. I would like to thank the members of the Board of
Directors and the Group's management team, who worked seamlessly together to
prioritize and defend the interests of all the Group's stakeholders."

Bertrand Camus, CEO of SUEZ, said:

"SUEZ has undergone profound changes in recent months. Despite adverse winds,
we have not been blown off course and the SUEZ 2030 plan has already delivered
results after just a single year of implementation. We have embarked on a new
trajectory of sustainable value creation for all the Group's stakeholders, and
I would especially like to thank all our employees for their trust and
exceptional commitment."

(1) In accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, these figures (9 independent
directors, 5 of whom are women) do not include salaried directors or the
director representing employee shareholders.

Comments on Q2 2021 activity

Julian Waldron, Group Senior Executive Vice President in charge of Finance,
commented on the Group's business trends in the second quarter of 2021.

As at end-June 2021, activity is broadly in line with the performance recorded
in the first quarter, showing not only a strong recovery compared to last year
but also an increase over 2019.

The actions taken to improve the Group's operational performance are continuing
to bear fruit in order to support both profitability and cash generation.

In an environment that remains volatile, the Group is firmly on track for 2021
and confirms all of its targets.

votes on the resolutions are available on the SUEZ website (www.suez.com).
