Among them, Macao Water and Jiangsu Sino French have been recipients of this award for 10 consecutive years since its first edition in 2012.

SUEZ, through a local joint venture, was recently awarded a 30-year, build-and-operate contract for an industrial wastewater treatment plant in Changshu, Jiangsu.
