3. Environmental performance

3.1 Environmental ambition

In this context of climate emergency, the environment is VINCI’s strategic priority. The Group tackles it with the aim of playing an active role in the environmental transition of buildings, infrastructure and mobility. VINCI is aware of the responsibility it bears, due to the nature of its business activities, but also recognises its ability to contribute positively to this transition. That is why the Group has set its environmental ambition for 2030, with a twofold objective: significantly reduce the direct impact of its activities and help its customers and partners reduce their own environmental footprint. VINCI is mobilising its teams and its potential for innovation to accelerate the transformation of its business lines and the creation of environmental value in the projects it leads for its customers, as well as in the services it provides for its infrastructure users and partners. The integrated design-build-operate approach helps reduce environmental impact at each stage in a project’s life cycle. The development of partnerships with external stakeholders is focused on this same goal.
