From 2010 to 2020, the reference period for environmental reporting pertaining to year Y ran from 1 October Y−1 to 30 September Y. On 1 January 2021, to align with financial and workforce-related reporting, the environmental reporting reference period was moved to 1 January to 31 December of year Y. Some entities have estimated their environmental data for the last one, two or three months of 2021. To assist them, VINCI’s Environment Department developed six methods for estimating this data, which are described in a guide communicated to entities to be applied and adapted as required.
The reporting scope is intended to be representative of all VINCI’s business activities:
Excluded from environmental reporting in 2021 are entities whose environmental impacts are not material and which do not have an environmental correspondent. These exclusions must not exceed 5% of the environmental impact of each entity.
However, for certain specific environmental indicators, the reporting coverage of the indicators published may be more limited. Reporting on waste generated is now reliable for a scope covering 57% of the Group’s activities (VINCI Autoroutes, VINCI Airports, VINCI Highways, VINCI Railways, VINCI Stadium, VINCI Energies, VINCI Construction UK, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, VINCI Construction Terrassement, Dodin Campenon Bernard, VINCI Construction Central Europe, VINCI Construction Dom-Tom and VINCI Immobilier). Reporting on waste recovered covers 39% of the Group’s activities (VINCI Autoroutes, VINCI Airports, VINCI Highways, VINCI Railways, VINCI Stadium, VINCI Energies France, VINCI Energies Europe West, VINCI Energies Europe East and VINCI Construction Central Europe). Reporting on the consumption of purchased water covers 98% of the Group’s activities, as HEB (VINCI Construction Asia Oceania) has been excluded from it. Reporting on the consumption of water from boreholes covers VINCI’s Concessions business, which is 14% of the Group’s activities. VINCI is continuing its efforts to expand and improve the reliability of the reporting of these indicators for all the business activities where they are of relevance.
Since 2011, the consolidation rules used for these scopes have been the same as for financial consolidation, with this exception: the environmental data of Qatari Diar VINCI Construction (QDVC) and Freyssinet SA (Spain) are consolidated in proportion to VINCI’s stake.
These consolidation rules apply to all reporting indicators, except the “number of environmental incidents” indicator, in which all incidents count for 1.
In the event of a change in scope:
Changes (involving revenue higher than €50 million) in the environmental reporting scope in 2021 (acquisitions in 2020):
The energy business acquired from ACS (Cobra IS) will be included in workforce-related and environmental reporting as of financial year 2022.
Indicators are selected on the basis of the social and environmental impact of the Group’s activities and the risks associated with those activities.
There are four levels of core social indicators:
The complementary nature of these four levels of indicators makes it possible to measure the results of the Group’s human resources policy and social commitments.
The core environmental indicators are made up of five types:
These five types of indicator were taken from the following sources:
Each business line continues to use its own additional indicators, which are based on its specific environmental challenges.
