CSM București, bronze medallist in the EHF Champions League and one of Europe’s leading women’s handball teams, announces a new partnership with Veolia Romania, a leader in integrated water and energy solutions for businesses and municipalities. Starting with the 2026–2027 season, Veolia Romania will be joining the CSM București family as an Official Partner of the senior women's handball team.
The new partnership brings together two organisations that share the same vision of performance: excellence is built through professionalism, responsibility, innovation and continuous investment in people. For CSM București, performance means pursuing ambitious sporting goals and representing Romania at the highest level in European competitions. For Veolia Romania, it means developing sustainable solutions that contribute to community well-being and the responsible use of resources.
As part of this partnership, Veolia Romania will support the senior women’s handball team throughout its domestic and international championships, helping to strengthen an environment in which sporting excellence can thrive. Through this commitment, Veolia is investing in a project that promotes excellence, teamwork and the inspiration that elite sport can offer to younger generations.
Iulian Pîslaru, General Manager of CSM București: “ We are delighted to welcome Veolia to the CSM București family. Securing a partner of this calibre is a strong endorsement for the credibility of our sporting project and of the work behind it. We are coming off one of the most successful seasons in the club’s recent history, crowned by a bronze medal in the EHF Champions League, and our ambitions remain as high as ever. We are confident that, together with Veolia, we will build a strong partnership based on trust, performance and shared values—one that will contribute to the development of women’s handball and further strengthen CSM București’s profile across Europe. ”
Mădălin Mihailovici, CEO Veolia Romania: “Both locally and internationally, Veolia is recognised as a company that actively supports sporting excellence, as well as other meaningful initiatives in the communities in which it operates. CSM București embodies sporting excellence and represents Romanian performance at the highest level in European competitions. It is a club that has given us many moments of national pride.
At Veolia, we believe that performance is built through responsibility, innovation and collaboration, principles that are equally reflected in our team’s work. Through this partnership, we are supporting not only sporting achievement, but also the values that handball brings to the community: perseverance, respect, solidarity and teamwork. We are confident that, together, we will contribute to further success for CSM București, while also inspiring future generations ”
The partnership between CSM București and Veolia Romania is more than an association between two strong brands. It represents a shared commitment to supporting performance, developing projects with a positive impact in the community and promoting a model of collaboration built on responsibility and sustainability.
