Since 2014, studies have been carried out by an external partner to measure the socio-economic footprint and impacts of projects or companies, using the Local Footprint® tool developed by Utopies©. These studies are carried out for specific geographical areas, such as for VINCI’s activities in the Loire-Atlantique administrative department, or for specific sites or projects to build or operate infrastructure in France and other countries. They have involved the Energy or Construction businesses (Eurovia quarry in Solignac-sur-Loire and quarries managed by Jalicot, QDVC’s worksites in Qatar) as well as the Concessions business (airports operated by VINCI Airports in France, Lamsac in Peru, the Bogotá–Girardot motorway extension in Colombia, the operation of Stade de France, etc.). Studies have also been carried out in connection with tenders (project to upgrade the Bambeto roundabout in Conakry, Guinea, works and operational phases of the western Strasbourg bypass, the T3C works package of the Paris metro’s Line 15 South, etc.).

In line with this approach, VINCI has carried out a study to analyse the socio-economic footprint of all its activities in France, based on 2018 data, to identify the specific inputs by all VINCI companies to the French economy, while quantifying and valuing the Group’s strong roots in local and regional economies and across its supply chain. In 2022, a new study will be launched based on the figures from 2021, as soon as the reporting processes have been completed and Insee has released its figures. The current study confirms the overall contribution of the Group’s companies and their activities to the French economy, which is relatively correlated with the major economic trends for each region. Across France, the Group supports a total of 535,700 jobs (full-time equivalents), representing 2% of all jobs nationwide. In addition, the study shows that VINCI’s supply chain primarily comprises Tier 1 suppliers and that it places more than half of its purchases with microbusinesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Lastly, looking beyond the Group’s main activities, a significant percentage of the value created benefits French society more widely and on a daily basis, particularly in the education, health and local retail sectors.

A dedicated platform focused on the Group’s socio-economic footprint has been rolled out on the intranet and is available to all of its employees. It presents the approach, methodology, results and potential areas to be worked on, and includes a feature to request a specific summary report covering a business line, division or even a French region. Since its launch, around 100 reports have been created for mainland France, as well as French overseas departments and territories. They are primarily used in the context of calls for tenders and dialogue with customers or local officials. They also contribute to the review by certain business lines of their regional responsibility strategy and possible ways to maximise their impact. A feedback survey was conducted with the socio-economic summary report readers in order to assess their experience and better meet their expectations with the next study.

2.1.2 2.1.2 VINCI’s contribution to social cohesion in communities and regions

2.1.2.1 In France

● Professional integration of the long-term unemployed

In France, public procurement contracts include social integration clauses promoting the recruitment of long-term job seekers. The French construction industry accounts for 70% of these clauses, corresponding to 2 million work hours per year for VINCI companies. To support the Group’s companies and their subcontractors in implementing effective integration policies, VINCI Insertion Emploi (ViE), a social enterprise focused on integration and the only structure of its kind in France, was created in 2011. ViE’s decentralised structure, grounded in local realities, ensures that it can effectively respond to local needs in terms of integration, employability and social engineering to help the long-term or very long-term unemployed (unemployed for more than 12 months, with few or no qualifications, former prisoners or refugees, etc.) to return to stable employment.

ViE assists VINCI companies and external firms in implementing their integration clauses, and puts them in touch with local stakeholders, such as non-profits, social enterprises supporting integration programmes and structures helping people return to work, in order to enable people covered by integration measures to find stable employment and benefit from ongoing support. The ViE network has strong local links, working with 500 national integration structures (social enterprises, temporary employment agencies, etc.) and 250 organisations linked to local and regional authorities (Mission Locale access points for employment and social services, Pôle Emploi employment agencies, etc.). Around 700 businesses benefited from its advice and expertise in 2021. In 2021, nearly 42,000 hours of training were provided, in addition to 8,100 hours for the Group’s 15-minute safety sessions. To help build the skills of those benefiting from its social integration programmes, ViE is committed to extending their periods of employment with Group companies. Accordingly, 17% of the people taken on under integration contracts were offered an additional contract once their first project was completed (17% in 2020, 25% in 2019, 21% in 2018).

Overall, around 2 million integration hours  were completed in 2021
