distribute drinking water in Senegal started on January 1st, 2020, and we have also strengthened our presence in India. In our technology and environmental services activities, we had strong growth in orders volumes in industrial water, as illustrated by the signature of seven new contracts with key players in the energy and agri-foods industries in the United States, Brazil and Qatar. Our smart solutions are being developed with our customers, as illustrated by the Smart City projects in Dijon, Angers Métropole and Singapore. The development of these high added-value activities is a key driver of Shaping SUEZ 2030. Our commercial successes have enabled us to deliver organic growth above our expectations, at 3.6%. Our profitability was solid, with 4.3% organic growth in EBIT, driven by pricing and by the efforts of our teams to improve our operational performance. We stabilized our return on capital employed and reduced our debt, two major objectives. I therefore confirm SUEZ ambitious targets for 2021.

The past year marks, above all, the beginning of SUEZ's transformation with the launch of our strategic plan, Shaping SUEZ 2030. A new management structure adapted to our ambition has been put in place. Prioritizing value creation over volume, we are driving a strategy of selective growth: consolidation of our positions in Europe, targeted international development, acceleration with industrial customers and intensification of innovation efforts in high value-added businesses. We have started work to adapt the composition of our asset portfolio. The implementation of processes to improve our operational efficiency is underway and our performance plan will deliver from 2020.

The energy and expertise of the SUEZ teams were evident throughout the year offering our customers quality and differentiating solutions to make a positive impact on health, quality of life, environment and climate.

In municipal water (Water), accounting for 39% of Group revenue in 2019, key milestones are as follows:

Aguas Andinas, subsidiary of SUEZ in Chile, and Superintendencia de Servicios Sanitarios (Chilean regulator) signed an agreement on November 14th 2019 regarding basic tariffs for drinking water, wastewater and their treatment in the 2020-2025 period. This agreement, which has brought about a 1% decrease in average tariffs (before inflationary adjustments) factors in infrastructure renovation works. The latter will contribute to improving the Santiago conurbation's preparations for climate change.

The Spanish Supreme Court announced on November 20, 2019 that Aigües de Barcelona, a company owned by Agbar (subsidiary of SUEZ), CriteriaCaixa and the metropolitan area of Barcelona, was legally constituted and dismissed the appeals brought against its creation.

2020: NEW PERFORMANCE INDICATORS, NEW SEGMENTATION AND OUTLOOK

New performance indicators' definitions

As announced at the Investor Meeting on October 2nd, the Group will use new performance indicators from 2020 onwards: recurring earnings per share (EPS) and recurring Free Cash Flow. These indicators exclude elements occurring over a limited period in order to reflect the result and cash flow durably attributable to shareholders. The calculation of Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is also simplified. All definitions are detailed in the footnote below.
