— Group companies are developing solutions to help their customers reduce their own footprint. These include the low-carbon motorway project deployed by VINCI Autoroutes and its regional partners to accelerate the decarbonisation of mobility; Eurovia France’s Granulat+ programme to increase the percentage of recycled materials used; VINCI Construction’s commitment to use low-carbon concretes meeting Exegy standards at its sites; the energy performance and emissions reduction solutions developed by VINCI Energies together with its customers; and VINCI Airports’ scheme to modulate airport fees depending on the carbon footprint of aircraft. As part of its new environmental ambition, VINCI is stepping up the development of offers combining economic and environmental value by integrating this concept as the focus of the work led by its innovation centres – especially research by the Leonard platform (see page 17).
— VINCI also contributes to developing and disseminating scientific knowledge around the ecological transition and how it affects its businesses through the VINCI-ParisTech lab recherche environnement, which supports this approach by fostering interaction between research and applications at the operational level.
— The operational rollout of the Group’s environmental ambition was stepped up in 2021, in particular with the Environment Awards. The first edition of this major competition was aimed at singling out environmental actions of employees on the ground, and promoting and disseminating these initiatives more widely within the Group. It garnered strong participation, with 2,548 initiatives submitted by employees, the support of more than 800 correspondents and experts, and 57,000 voters, i.e., more than a quarter of the Group’s employees. Nearly 200 initiatives were selected in the first round held regionally around the world, and 14 won awards in the final round held on 5 November 2021.
— Employees’ engagement to accelerate the environmental transformation of businesses, products and services was also stimulated by the second Environment Day – held in September by all VINCI companies worldwide – and by the training programmes introduced throughout the Group and its entities.
— VINCI companies also work to raise the awareness of their customers. Initiatives include campaigns led annually by concession companies to encourage users to sort their waste at motorway rest areas and in airports, and more broadly to adopt more eco-responsible behaviour.
