VINCI closely tracks and analyses the key trends liable to impact its businesses in the short, medium and long term. The main issues are the environmental emergency, social and workforce expectations, urbanisation, mobility and digital transformation. These shifts may involve risks, but they also provide opportunities, as Group entities work to bring solutions that meet the challenges of transition. The executive bodies and business lines also ensure they include these issues in the policies they implement. The main environmental, social and ethical ambitions are briefly addressed in the following pages. The policies and action plans for each area are detailed in the non-financial performance statement (see pages 188 to 253) and the duty of vigilance plan (see pages 254 to 281).
