                                  PRESS RELEASE

       Consolidated revenue up 7.2% to (euro) 15 billion at 30 June 2002.
  Revenue for core businesses increases 9%, in line with medium-term objectives

                        EBIT for core businesses grew 8%




Consolidated revenue (1) for the first half of 2002 was (euro) 15 billion, up
7.2% from (euro) 14 billion in the first half of last year. Excluding non-core
businesses in the process of being divested, revenue growth was 9%, including
internal growth of 5.5%.

Under French accounting standards, consolidated EBIT (1) in the first half of
2002 was (euro) 1.018 billion, up 5.2%, compared to (euro) 967 million for the
first half of 2001. Excluding non-core businesses in the process of being
divested, EBIT grew 8%.

Net debt (1) totalled (euro) 14.8 billion on 30 June 2002 compared to (euro)
14.3 billion on 31 December 2001 and (euro) 15 billion on 30 June 2001. Cash
flow from operations together with the disposal of part of the non-core
businesses have helped fund capital investment, for both maintenance and
business growth, in the first half of the year. The (euro) 1.5 billion capital
increase completed in August 2002 and the continuation of the non-core business
disposal programme should lead to debt reduction in the second half of the year.

Revenue trends are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Excluding non-core businesses and the impact of the South Central transportation
contract termination (euro) 231 million), internal growth for the first half of
2002 was 7.5%.

The impact of external growth of (euro) 294 million was due to small and
medium-sized acquisitions in the sectors of Waste (Marius Pedersen), Energy
Services (Siram) and Transportation (Verney), as well as the disposal of
non-core activities in the Water division in the United States.

(1) Preliminary and non-audited figures prepared in accordance with French
accounting standards.

The positive impact of foreign exchange ((euro) 69 million), relates mainly to
the increase in the average rate of the US dollar against the euro in the first
half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001. Given recent trends in the
euro-dollar exchange rate, this favourable impact is unlikely to be repeated in
the second half of the year.

Revenue generated outside France was (euro) 8.6 billion, or 57% of total
revenue, comparable to the first half of 2001.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Internal revenue growth was 4.4%. Excluding non-core businesses, internal growth
was 5.9%. In France, Vivendi Water business grew by around 3.4% due to the
continued good results of the water distribution business and stability in the
water engineering business.

Internal growth for core businesses outside France was 9.1%. This growth
reflects encouraging developments in outsourcing businesses outside the United
States, up by 22%, due to start-ups or new contracts signed in 2000 or 2001,
notably in Central Europe (Prague in the Czech Republic and Gorlitz in Germany),
in Morocco (Tangiers and Tetouan), in the Asia Pacific region (Hyundai-HEI and
Inchon in South Korea, Chengdu in China). In the United States, revenue, as
expressed in euros, was down by 2.2% and impacted by the finalisation of the
Filtration and Separation businesses disposal during the first half of 2002.
Core businesses grew (+6%) due to the solid continuation of the municipal
outsourcing services business, which has benefited from the impact of the
Indianapolis contract since the month of May 2002, and the industrial
outsourcing business following on from the signature of new contracts. Sales of
water treatment equipment and systems to the municipal sector are growing, while
sales to industry are stable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Internal growth was 5.8%. In France, growth was 4.1% with the group operating in
a less favourable economic environment.

Outside France, business grew by 6.9%, largely due to developments in Northern
Europe (contracts in Bromley and Sheffield in the UK), as well as in the Asia
Pacific region, with a contract for Pacific Waste Management in Hong Kong, and
in Singapore. In the United States, business increased slightly (new municipal
contracts for solid waste).

External growth was primarily due to the full first half year impact of the
Marius Pedersen acquisition in 2001.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Revenues in France were stable compared with the first half of 2001 reflecting
the combination of lower gas prices as of April 1, 2002 and the seasonality of
cogeneration activities, which is concentrated in the winter months.

Outside France, internal growth of 16,6% was mainly due to contracts in Tallinn
(Estonia), Vilnius (Lithuania), and Poznan (Poland) coming on line.

External growth in energy services was due to the acquisition of Siram in Italy
((euro) 94 million), Cram in France ((euro) 43 million), and to finalization of
the former EDF business integration ((euro) 95 million).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

In France, internal growth of 10.5% benefited from contract development and
extension. Outside France, excluding the impact of the South Central contract
termination, growth was 26.9%, due to the full impact on 2002 results of the BBA
and Combus contracts as well as to developments in Finland, Poland, Belgium, and
the Czech Republic.

External growth of 7.7% was due to the acquisition of Verney ((euro) 80 million)
and Yellow Transportation ((euro) 27 million).

(1) Group share figures.

Internal growth of 7.8%, evenly spread across all divisions, was particularly
strong in the cement business due to expansion in the Spanish construction
industry.


External growth stemmed from the integration of Ekonor in industrial waste in
Spain, and internationally in the area of urban services.

The first half-year 2002 revenue growth provides confidence, within a stabilized
economic environment, for the medium-term growth objectives of the company. This
has been further strengthened by the receipt of new contracts since the
beginning of this year, in particular the signing of a municipal outsourcing
contract for the city of Indianapolis in the United States as well as that of
the contract for Shanghai/Pudong, which constitute significant commercial
successes.



Vivendi Environnement (Paris Bourse: VIE and NYSE:VE), comprised of Vivendi
Water (worldwide water products and services), Onyx (solid waste and industrial
services), Dalkia (energy management), Connex (transportation and logistics) and
FCC (Spanish company engaged in environmental and construction related
industries), is the largest environmental services company in the world with
more than 295,000 employees, including FCC, in about 100 countries and annual
revenues of more than $25.6 billion.
