The VINCI Group encourages civic engagement on the part of its companies and employees, at the heart of the various regions, through its corporate foundations and endowment funds. Local projects that support social and professional integration for underprivileged people are a key focus. Since 2002, 17 structures or programmes have been set up around the world to offer opportunities for all Group employees to get involved and support non-profits in their communities. In 2022, a new endowment fund structure was set up in Canada: the VINCI Canada Fund, which is part of the King Baudouin Foundation for Canada.
The Fondation VINCI pour la Cité celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2022. In 20 years, the foundation has supported around 3,500 projects, thanks to the dedication shown by some 6,300 employees from companies across the VINCI Group and a total of €55.5 million in funding has been provided. It is one of France’s largest private foundations in terms of both the funds deployed and the number of projects supported. This 20th anniversary was initially celebrated on 6 April 2022 at l’archipel, the VINCI Group’s new head office in Nanterre.

in funding provided to non-profits by the Group’s foundations over 20 years
Throughout the year, the anniversary event was held again in other cities throughout France: Nantes in July; Lille in September; Bordeaux, Marseille and Narbonne in October; and Lyon in November. A special film entitled Engagés (Engaged) was produced and shown as part of the celebrations to present the diversity of the foundation’s initiatives, featuring testimonials from stakeholders in each region: representatives of non-profits, employees and several beneficiaries.
In 2022, Group companies contributed over €6.1 million to these foundations, which supported around 572 projects to help people facing difficulties with their return to work. In all the regions where VINCI operates, around 1,570 employees donated their time to support solidarity actions. VINCI Solidarity, the dedicated engagement platform for employees across the Group, makes it easier for them to get involved. Launched during the health crisis, this platform is constantly evolving and offers opportunities for missions with new national and local non-profits.
To ramp up its team’s actions, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité has built up a network of ambassadors since 2017. Around 80 employee volunteers have put themselves forward to support project initiators, promote employee engagement and improve follow-up on the actions carried out, ensuring that they are closely aligned with local needs.
Since 2010, the Cité Solidaire (Solidarity in the Community) calls for projects have focused on small non-profits working in disadvantaged areas. In 2022, three calls for projects were issued in Beauvais in July, in Caen in November and with the department of Seine-Saint-Denis north of Paris. To date, 48 regions and communities have benefited from this outstanding programme in France and other countries.
