Several Directors of Veolia Environnement, whose CEO of EDF Proglio, are preparing to head the group's CEO, Mr. Frérot, reports financial daily Les Echos in its edition Monday.
The former Minister of Ecology Jean-Louis Borloo is among prospective successors, the newspaper said, predicting that a Board of Directors of Veolia Environnement scheduled on February 29 will be crucial.
