The methodology used to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of VINCI’s businesses is based on the Group’s environmental reporting data. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from the use of fossil fuels (fixed sites, worksites and company vehicles), as well as non-energy emissions (Eurovia’s lime plants). Scope 2 includes indirect emissions produced to make energy (mainly electricity) purchased and used at fixed sites and for projects. Scope 2 emissions are calculated using two methods. The location-based method uses emission factors derived from the average electricity mix in the country where the Group’s entities operate, while the market-based method uses emission factors relating to the suppliers from which Group companies buy their electricity (see “Note on the methods used in workforce-related, social and environmental reporting”, page 258).
2.3 Mt de teq CO2 emitted in 2021 (Scopes 1 and 2)
In 2021, emissions calculated using the market-based approach totalled 2.3 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, a 2% increase compared with 2020. The increase resulted from the resumption of construction operations, which led to higher energy consumption. It was partially offset as some carbon-based energy was gradually replaced with lower-carbon energy sources (increase in electricity consumption from renewable energy sources and drop in coal and heavy fuel oil consumption).

Data extrapolated to cover 100% of VINCI’s revenue – excluding acquisitions in 2020.
In 2020, VINCI built its own methodology in collaboration with an external consulting firm to monitor its progress towards meeting its commitment to reduce the Group’s direct emissions by 40% between 2018 and 2030. This methodology enables the Group to compare its actual progress every year against its initial baseline.
This initial baseline serves as a starting point for measuring the Group’s performance between 2018 and 2030. It has been designed to take into consideration the Group’s commitments and the pace of actions toward reducing emissions put in place by each business line. VINCI’s low-carbon trajectory was also designed to take into consideration any changes in scope within the business lines, as well as the organic growth of the Group’s main businesses. Each newly acquired company is integrated into the Group’s trajectory. The initial baseline and initial amount of gross emissions are therefore adjusted for these acquisitions, while disposals are removed from the scope. This method is used to limit the adjustments and estimates needed to incorporate changes in scope, while objectively reporting on the Group’s actions and its alignment with its reduction goal.
In 2021, VINCI business lines acquired 38 entities, which emitted 21,686 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2021, and disposed of three entities representing an immaterial amount of revenue (total of less than €3 million), whose emissions could not be measured. Total emissions in the baseline year of 2018, after adjusting for the impact of acquisitions and disposals, were thus 2.467 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. At end-2021, the Group was slightly ahead of its trajectory, with a reduction of around 8% in greenhouse gas emissions compared with the initial baseline.
