Environment Day
A counterpart to the Environment Awards, Environment Day was celebrated by VINCI companies around the world on 22 September. Employees discussed the initiatives, best practices and improvement areas that support the Group’s environmental ambition in each business line’s day-to-day operations.
lab recherche environnement
The product of a nearly 15-year partnership between VINCI and three ParisTech schools, lab recherche environnement joins scientific research and operational applications by giving researchers a testing ground for their experiments, while underpinning innovation projects in Group companies. The lab’s annual seminar in 2021 explored the measurement and use of data to address environmental issues, such as analysing data captured by road surfaces to optimise road maintenance.
Innovation and value creation
Leonard, VINCI’s innovation and foresight platform, is fast-tracking the Group’s ecological transition. Nearly half of the solutions developed through its acceleration programmes for intrapreneurs or startups aim to shrink the environmental footprint of the Group’s activities.
Nooco is one of the many solutions incubated by Leonard that has created new business activities for the Group. This software platform measures and optimises the environmental impact of a building project by zeroing in on the levers that improve energy efficiency the most.
