A humanist group that exemplifies inclusion and solidarity
VINCI’s economic goals are inseparable from its social purpose, and its businesses’ performance is also measured by their value to society and contributions to inclusiveness and solidarity. This belief underpins its initiatives to ensure employee well-being, promote employment, support professional integration and diversity, and embrace the social responsibility of the Group and its companies.
Middle school students learn about VINCI’s businesses
Despite the difficulties of the pandemic, VINCI maintained its Give Me Five programme to support the professional integration of young people from priority neighbourhoods in France. In 2021, VINCI gave 4,000 middle school students a guided introduction to the Group’s business activities and industries. Participants included 300 students with disabilities enrolled in local academic inclusion units.
In the United Kingdom,
the Balfour Beatty-VINCI joint venture has pledged to recruit 5% apprentices, recent graduates and interns on its HS2 rail line project workforce. It welcomed its 650th apprentice in July 2021.
Fostering apprenticeships
In June 2021, in collaboration with JobIRL, France’s leading social network for career guidance, VINCI opened a dedicated platform enabling anyone over 15 interested in engaging in an apprenticeship to respond to offers from Group companies. These apprenticeships dovetail with relevant training programmes delivered by partner schools.
2,390
