Suez has great confidence in China's environmental market as the country is putting the development of the green economy high on its agenda, according to Steve Clark, CEO of Suez Asia.

One of the world's leading water and waste management services companies, Suez entered China in the 1970s. There it witnessed the country's rapid development in combining economic growth and environmental protection.

China is targeting a drop of about 3 percent in energy consumption per unit of GDP and a continued reduction in the discharge of major pollutants in 2021, Suez said, based on the Government Work Report delivered at the annual session of the National People's Congress on March 5. The country will enhance pollution prevention and control, ecological conservation and promote continuous environmental improvement.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, China plans to cut energy consumption per unit of GDP by 13.5 percent and carbon dioxide emissions by 18 percent.
