Gender equality index: In 2021, French companies with 50 employees and over within VINCI Group disclosed their index. These organisations all showed positive results, reflecting measures already taken by the Group, with room for improvement remaining for companies with the lowest scores. A total of 474 Group companies are eligible to report the gender equality index, with an average score of 81/100 (2 points higher than the indexes reported in 2020). Companies are implementing action plans to improve their score.

Average score for companies eligible to report the gender equality index
The index methodology continues to be adapted internationally. In 2021, the calculation module was provided for companies with at least 50 employees outside France.
VINCI is also active in fighting gender stereotypes, for example through its partnership signed in 2018 with Elles Bougent. This non-profit organisation works to encourage women into the engineering professions around the world. At 31 December 2021, 643 VINCI employees in 22 countries were registered to participate as sponsors or company representatives in events for high school students to raise their awareness about working in technical fields.
Furthermore, to improve young women’s understanding of VINCI’s businesses and to promote equal opportunity, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité and the organisation Rêv’elles continued the “Rêv’elles moi les métiers du BTP” programme in the Greater Paris area and in the region of Lyon to teach them about jobs in the construction industry. The programme aims to enable nearly 150 young women from low-income neighbourhoods who are supported by the organisation to spend a work day in one of the VINCI companies with women employees or to receive career guidance. In all, nearly 60 women employees worked in various ways with the young women supported by the organisation.

1.5.3 Measures to promote the employment and employability of people with disabilities
VINCI’s general accident prevention policy aims to ensure that everything possible is done to minimise workplace accidents and their consequences in terms of incapacity. Measures to promote the employment of people with disabilities have three main strands: the redeployment of incapacitated staff, the recruitment of people with disabilities, and the use of social enterprises (EA) and sheltered workshops (ESAT) that specifically employ people with disabilities.
In 2021, the Up! online learning platform (VINCI Academy) featured a popular awareness programme about what it means to carry out professional duties with a disability. This programme focusing on disability in a professional context is designed to teach VINCI employees about the challenges and tools to promote sustainable employability for people with disabilities.
