The two companies battling for control of the world's waste

In today's ep, Ren presents a company for the community watchlist, a huge French multinational that's caught in a public dogfight with another rival waste and water management company. In August last year the French company Veolia announced an intention to acquire 29% of fellow heavy-hitter, the French based multinational Suez, with the goal to acquire the whole company.

Ren walks us through the timeline of the events so far, the key numbers, context and risks of Veolia, and looks at the pros and cons of waste and water companies as investments.
