This goal to keep people with disabilities employed is primarily driven by VINCI employees taking part in the activities of Trajeo’h, an organisation operating through eight regional delegations that cover all of metropolitan France. Trajeo’h advisers coordinate the aspirations and commitments of people with disabilities, their operational managers and their human resources departments to facilitate the implementation of specific solutions adapted to each situation, such as adaptation of workstations, redeployment within the Group, career guidance or redeployment outside the Group. Yearly health committee meetings bring together representatives from human resources, occupational medicine and Trajeo’h to detect potential situations of disability as early as possible. Their role is to help incapacitated VINCI employees remain in employment and generally support Group companies in France in the area of disability. In 2021, 946 people with disabilities were supported in France by the eight regional Trajeo’h delegations. The programme has grown steadily year by year, with support rising 13% from 2020. In addition, as part of the French government’s DuoDay initiative, on 18 November throughout France, 566 people with disabilities paired up in a duo with a Group employee to learn about one of VINCI’s business lines. Lastly, 2021 marked the first edition of “Give Me Five x ULIS”. Under this programme, more than 300 middle school students with disabilities from France’s priority education network in four regions of the country completed their third-year internship in the Give Me Five format, featuring the adaptations and accommodations needed to offset their various disabilities. The actions of Trajeo’h were honoured in 2021 with three national awards:
Employees involved in the work of the Trajeo’h delegations are provided with specific training on different types of disability to prepare themto better support people with disabilities: on-the-job impact of conditions such as diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, dyslexia, dyspraxiaand dysphasia. The Group’s Inclusion and Diversity Department plans regular coordination meetings for the eight delegations and oversees the entire Trajeo’h programme. VINCI is currently studying the prospect of expanding this programme internationally.
In 2021, €6.6 million of revenue was awarded to companies in Europe with workforces primarily comprised of employees with disabilities.In some countries, legislation requires companies to employ a certain percentage of staff with disabilities (certain sectors are excluded from this requirement). Companies that do not meet the requirement must pay a compensatory levy. This levy amounted to €4.5 million in 2021 for subsidiaries in France.

VINCI is made up of a network of local companies that have long-established roots in the regions where they operate. Thanks to these local roots, as well as the autonomy and opportunities for initiative made possible by the Group’s decentralised management model, VINCI companies are important and active participants in the life of surrounding communities.
Through its activities and its strong local roots, VINCI plays a key role in the transformation of cities and regions. Group companies help to structure these territories and strengthen their coherence, while enhancing their attractiveness, supporting their development, and contributing to a vibrant local economic and social environment. Whether engaged in construction or concession activities, Group companies create value that cannot be delocalised and generate significant local benefits in the form of revenue, subcontracting, ancillary activities, local tax contributions and support for local non-profit organisations.
