                                  PRESS RELEASE
                 (unaudited data to French accounting standards)


                 7.2% growth in revenue from core businesses (*)
                to (euro)28.1 billion at constant exchange rates


Revenue from core businesses amounted to (euro)28,073 million, up 5.9%, with
growth of 7.2% at constant exchange rates. The negative impact of exchange rates
((euro)350 million) is attributable to variation in the dollar for (euro)224
million (the average dollar-euro rate was 0.95 at the end of December 2002
compared with 0.90 at the end of December 2001), with latin-american currencies
having less of an impact. Internal growth from core businesses was 5%.

Revenue from non-core businesses that have already been sold or are planned to
be sold amounted to (euro)2,006 million, compared with (euro)2,614 million at
December 31, 2001. Consolidated revenue for Vivendi Environnement thus increased
3.3% to (euro)30,079 million.

The net impact of external growth of core businesses amounted to (euro)616
million, attributable primarily to the contribution of Marius Pedersen
(Denmark), SIRAM (Italy) and Verney (France).

During the fourth quarter of 2002, Vivendi Environnement maintained buoyant
commercial development in both the municipal and industrial markets. The
company's performance is illustrated by several contracts. These include waste
collection and street cleaning in Camden and integrated management of household
waste in East Sussex in the U.K.; the management of municipal water services in
Germany; the operation of Boston's rail network in the U.S.A.; in the municipal
segment and also in the industrial segment in France (energy services with
Arcelor) and in Malaysia (with Petronas).

Revenue generated outside France by core businesses reached (euro)15,354
million, representing 55% of total revenue.









(*)  Excluding non-core disposals already completed or planned:
     US Filter's businesses Filtration & Separation,  Plymouth, Surface Prep and
     Distribution US, as well as Bonna Sabla in France.

(1)  excluding non-core disposals already completed or planned.

     o    Internal growth from core water businesses amounted to 4%. This growth
          takes  into  account  a  reduction  in  revenues  for the  engineering
          activity linked to the increased selectivity of contracts.

     o    In France, internal growth from water distribution was 3%.

     o    Outside  France,   excluding  the  United  States,   and  despite  the
          non-renewal  of the Puerto Rico contract  last June,  there was strong
          growth in outsourcing  business  revenue (15%),  mainly from contracts
          signed  in  Eastern  Europe  (Prague,  Gorlitz...),   Morocco  (Rabat,
          Tangiers  and  Tetouan),  and in  Asia  (revenue  rose  27% due to the
          start-up of Inchon, Chengdu and Shanghai).

     o    In the United States,  solid growth in  outsourcing,  and, to a lesser
          extent,  growth in equipment and Culligan  sales,  resulted in over 7%
          revenue growth from core businesses in dollars.

     o    Revenue from  non-core  businesses  already sold or planned to be sold
          amounted to (euro)2,006 million,  compared with (euro)2,614 million at
          December 31, 2001.

     o    Overall, internal growth amounted to 5%, with 3.3% in France.

     o    Outside France,  growth of 8.8% at constant exchange rates,  including
          6.2%  internal  growth,  was due to the  effects of growth in Northern
          Europe (contracts in Bromley, Sheffield and Hampshire in the U.K.) and
          Asia (Hong Kong, where there was strong growth in business volume, and
          Singapore, with the start-up of a new contract). In the United States,
          growth  came from new  municipal  contracts  for solid  waste and good
          business performance in hazardous waste.

     o    External growth reflected principally the full-year effect of the 2001
          acquisition of Marius Pedersen in Denmark.

     o    Revenue in France  increased  8.7%  compared  with 2001.  The negative
          impact of the gas price reduction  effective April 1, 2002, was offset
          by growth in cogeneration business, up 16% for the year.

     o    Outside France, the 18.8% internal growth was due in particular to the
          start-up of the Tallin, Vilnius and Poznan contracts.

     o    External  growth in energy  services was due mainly to the acquisition
          of Siram in Italy.

     o    Outside  France,  excluding the impact of the end of the South Central
          contract, revenue increased 17.6% (full-year effect in 2002 of the BBA
          and  Combus  contracts,  and new  business  in  Northern  and  Eastern
          Europe).

     o    In the United  States,  revenue  increased by a factor of 2.4 to reach
          (euro)83 million.

     o    External  growth  of 6.0% was due  primarily  to the  acquisitions  of
          Verney and Yellow Transportation.

     o    Overall internal growth amounted to 8.5%.

     o    Business was driven by municipal  services  (+12%),  construction  and
          cement in Spain.

                                      ***

Vivendi Environnement's position in Europe, North America and certain Asian
countries, along with its ongoing strategy of growth in environmental services,
enabled the company to pursue its expansion in 2002 despite the continuation of
a difficult business climate.

The asset disposals completed since 2000 before the downturn in the economic
climate, together with Vivendi Environnement's commercial dynamism as confirmed
again by the signature of many new contracts throughout the year, allow the
company to expect continued growth in its core businesses in 2003.

The constant strengthening of the company's financial situation and the balance
maintained between industrial and municipal customers give Vivendi Environnement
the means of further enhancing its global leadership position in environmental
services.

                                      ***

Vivendi Environnement (Paris Stock Exchange: VIE and NYSE: VE), comprised of

is the largest environmental services company in the world, with consolidated
