Sharing the benefits of performance
VINCI’s employee share ownership policy is an ambitious one that encourages as many employees as possible to share in the Group’s growth and success. At the end of 2021, more than 160,000 current and former employees, in France and internationally, collectively owned nearly 10% of VINCI’s share capital, making them the Group’s largest shareholder.
85%
of international employees are eligible to participate in the employee share ownership plan developed by VINCI in 41 countries, including Hungary and Colombia since 2021.
Gender diversity
In addition to VINCI’s efforts to increase gender diversity in its workforce and management, 700 employees around the world participated in initiatives to “degender” the Group’s business activities. In France, the sponsors of the Elles Bougent organisation reach out to female students or prospective students to encourage them to pursue engineering professions in VINCI’s areas of business.
In Brazil, all VINCI companies celebrated the first Diversity and Inclusion Week in 2021. Four hundred employees took part in the online activities offered to raise awareness, provide training and spread best practices.
€6.2 million
in funding was granted in 2021 by VINCI’s 16 foundations and sponsorship organisations worldwide.
IN AFRICA, through its Issa programme, Sogea-Satom (VINCI Construction) supports communities beyond its worksites, with initiatives in the areas of education, health, energy, food self-sufficiency, access to clean water and local crafts.
IN COLOMBIA, VINCI Highways, concession holder of the Bogotá–Girardot motorway, renewed its commitment to Vía Esperanza in 2021. The humanitarian programme has already assisted more than 20,000 migrants walking along the motorway, mainly from Venezuela.
In France, as part of its Cité Solidaire (Solidarity in the Community) programme, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité gave its support to eight non-profits conducting outreach in four priority neighbourhoods in Narbonne (southern France) in 2021. One was Concept-Luoga, which develops itinerant tools for promoting social ties and hosting public activities (photo). The organisations were selected from a call for projects launched in partnership with the Greater Narbonne community and were granted a total of €80,000. They also benefit from the support and skills of 21 VINCI employee sponsors.
Civic engagement
In 2021, the Group’s 16 foundations and sponsorship organisations worldwide supported 492 projects by local non-profits working to strengthen social ties and help people experiencing exclusion to return to employment. In addition to the aid granted, employees act as sponsors: 1,328 shared their time and skills with partner organisations in 2021.
