The methodology used to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of VINCI’s businesses is based on the Group’s environmental reporting data. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from the use of biofuels, fossil fuels (fixed sites, worksites and company vehicles), as well as non-energy emissions (VINCI Construction’s lime plants). Scope 2 includes indirect emissions produced to make energy (mainly electricity) purchased and used at fixed sites and for projects. Scope 2 emissions are calculated using two methods. The location-based method uses emission factors derived from the average electricity mix in the country where the Group’s entities operate, while the market-based method uses emission factors relating to the suppliers from which Group companies buy their electricity (see “Note on the methods used in workforce-related, social and environmental reporting”, page 283).
In 2022, emissions calculated using the market-based approach totalled 2.1 million tonnes of CO₂, of which 1.9 million tonnes of CO₂ for Scope 1 and 0.2 million tonnes of CO₂ for Scope 2. Market-based emissions fell 4.7% from 2021, mainly due to the increasing use of electricity from renewable sources, which considerably reduced Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (down 27% from 2021).

In 2020, VINCI built its own methodology in collaboration with an external consulting firm to monitor its progress towards meeting its commitment to reduce the Group’s direct emissions by 40% between 2018 and 2030. This methodology enables the Group to compare its actual progress every year against its initial baseline.
This initial baseline serves as a starting point for measuring the Group’s performance between 2018 and 2030. It has been designed to take into consideration the Group’s commitments and the pace of actions toward reducing emissions put in place by each business line. VINCI’s low-carbon trajectory takes into consideration any changes in scope within the business lines, as well as the organic growth of the Group’s main businesses. Each newly acquired company is integrated into the Group’s trajectory. The initial baseline and initial amount of gross emissions are therefore adjusted for these acquisitions, while disposals are removed from the scope. This method is used to limit the adjustments and estimates needed to incorporate changes in scope, while objectively reporting on the Group’s actions and its alignment with its reduction goal.
In 2022, VINCI business lines acquired 40 entities, which emitted 3,893 tonnes of CO₂ over the year, and disposed of four entities representing an immaterial amount of revenue, whose emissions could not be measured. Total emissions in the baseline year of 2018, after adjusting for the impact of acquisitions and disposals, were thus 2,471 million tonnes of CO₂. At end-2022, the Group had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 13% compared with the initial baseline.
