The production, processing and disposal of waste resulting from the Group’s construction activities and those of its suppliers carries the risk of degrading natural environments and may constitute a nuisance for local populations, while contributing to the depletion of certain virgin raw materials.

The Group has pledged to reduce these risks by committing to optimise resources thanks to the circular economy by 2030. Risk management procedures are already in place and include the following: –waste monitoring incorporated into environmental reporting; –implementing residual waste management plans at worksites and developing solutions to improve the sorting and recovery of waste and the reuse of recycled materials in construction. These actions are presented in paragraphs 3.3.1, “Promoting the use of techniques and materials that economise on natural resources”, page 241, and 3.3.2, “Improving waste sorting and recovery”, page 242, both in the “Environmental performance” section.

The construction and energy production sectors consume significant quantities of raw materials (sand, wood, aggregates, metal, etc.). Extracting these resources carries the risk of degrading natural environments and reducing a region’s resilience to climate change. Sourcing the raw materials needed for the Group’s activities may become problematic in the face of increasing resource scarcity.

The Group has pledged to reduce this risk by committing to optimise resources thanks to the circular economy by 2030. Risk mitigation strategies involve eco-designed construction, responsible supply chains promoting the use of materials of recycled origin by every division, in particular to reduce the quantity of asphalt mix used for motorway maintenance (see paragraph 3.3.1, “Promoting the use of techniques and materials that economise on natural resources”, of the “Environmental performance” section, page 241).

VINCI’s activities require water supplied by a distribution network or withdrawn from natural environments. Climate change and disruptions to the water cycle will result in an expansion of areas where water resources can no longer meet demand, whether due to temporary or structural factors. The impact for VINCI’s activities in these areas is a lack of available resources to conduct operations or clean equipment. The Group’s Autoroutes, Concessions and Construction business lines have committed to reducing their water consumption (see paragraph 3.1, “Environmental ambition”, of the “Environmental performance” section, page 220). This risk is managed by identifying project sites in areas of water stress and adapting construction and operation processes and methods. At the same time, the Group is working to optimise water consumption and develop solutions to reuse water (see paragraph 2.5.2, “Increasing scarcity of resources”, of chapter D, “Risk factors and management procedures”, page 180).

VINCI’s activities (quarries, worksites, etc.) may release particles into the air, water or soil or cause accidental pollution. They may also be responsible for noise pollution and vibrations, mainly caused by traffic on operated infrastructure, entities’ worksites and quarry operations, potentially impacting local residents. In addition, its activities sometimes require lighting that may disturb ecosystems. This light pollution exposes the Group to image and reputation risks that may carry financial consequences. To protect itself from this risk, the Group implements environmental management plans and internal control systems that provide for site audits. The various measures taken are presented in in paragraph 3.4.1.1, “Actions to prevent pollution and incidents”, of the “Environmental performance” section, page 246, and include phasing out phytosanitary products, covering salt piles on motorways, systems to prevent accidental pollution on motorways, reducing emissions from the use of machinery and vehicles, monitoring air and water quality, measuring noise levels and footprints and installing opaque screens along motorways.

The Group’s activities may harm the integrity of plant and animal species for different reasons: habitat fragmentation, alteration or destruction, the use of chemical compounds and the pollution risks described above. The Group is aware of these issues and implements procedures to limit the impact of its activities: –reduced use of phytosanitary products; –implementation of environmental management plans; –implementation of specific ecological restoration measures at some worksites once all avoidance and reduction strategies have been applied (see paragraph 4.4.3, “Tailored actions to mitigate risks and prevent serious impacts”, page 278).
