Our actions

AIRPORTS AND SELF-CONSUMPTION

VINCI Airports is building on-site solar power stations to reduce its carbon footprint. Three new solar farms at the Faro airport, Belgrade airport and Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport (P3 car park) began operating in 2022, bringing the network’s total installed capacity to 36 MWp. The Faro power plant was developed by SunMind (a specialised subsidiary of VINCI Concessions) and installed by Omexom (VINCI Energies), which now operates Portugal’s very first airport solar farm.

BUILDING LOW-CARBON ROADS

VINCI Construction is modernising its asphalt production plants by fitting them with new energy sources, equipment and monitoring systems that are lowering both consumption and emissions. It is also stepping up the production of recycled materials, with its Granulat+ solutions, and the use of innovative road renovation processes to optimise the recycling rate of road operations and the carbon footprint of its worksites.

ADVANCING GENDER DIVERSITY

To speed up the pace of women entering its areas of business, the Group has intensified its collaboration with the non-profit Elles Bougent. Close to 700 employees take part in events in some 20 countries to encourage female students to pursue careers in science and technology, making VINCI’s network the organisation’s largest in the world.

INNOVATION AND OUTLOOK

The Group’s innovation and foresight platform, Leonard, continues its long-term work, exploring hydrogen power, for example, as well as electric, connected and autonomous forms of mobility.Leonard has held some 50 public events focusing on sustainable outlooks for ocean and coastal economies; applications of the metaverse, blockchain and other emerging technologies in urban and regional development; and the challenges of low-carbon reindustrialisation.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

In 2022, VINCI’s 17 foundations allocated €6.1 million to 570 projects, sponsored by almost 1,570 employees.

EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

With more than 5,000 middle school students supported during the 2021-2022 academic year and close to 9,000 enrolled in 2022-2023, the Give Me Five programme is growing fast. Under the programme, in France, VINCI hosts students from priority neighbourhoods for work experience placements in Group companies. Hundreds of Group employees get involved locally by giving the students an introduction to the many varied aspects of their jobs.

Our commitments for a sustainable world

A resilient model, a strategy for sustainable growth

VINCI’s business model gives it immense resilience. The Group’s strategy is to adapt and hone this robust model as it continues to develop across its three businesses – Concessions, Energy and Construction. As it has diversified its areas of expertise, so has VINCI increasingly broadened into more and more international markets. In 2022, for the first time ever, the Group generated more of its revenue outside the country than in France – nearly 55%.<:p>

In addition to a broad range of businesses and markets, VINCI gains its resilience from its management approach. The Group’s highly decentralised organisation and supportive management culture give its companies and people tremendous agility in adapting to changes and unpredictability in their environment. In this context of climate emergency, the environment is VINCI’s strategic priority. The Group aims to play an active role in the transition of the built environment, infrastructure and mobility.

VINCI welcomes the energy and environmental transition as a powerful lever for the renewal of its expertise and solutions and a long-term driver of growth for its business activities. The Group’s policy of innovation is building opportunities in this transformation. As novel solutions and services emerge that create environmental value, promising activities open up for the Group.
