Actions guided by VINCI’s environmental policy reduced the Group’s direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 13% between 2018 and 2022, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions.
3 Building low-carbon roads
VINCI Construction is modernising its asphalt production plants by fitting them with new energy sources, equipment and monitoring systems that are lowering both consumption and emissions. It is also stepping up the production of recycled materials, with its Granulat+ solutions, and the use of innovative road renovation processes to optimise the recycling rate of road operations and the carbon footprint of its worksites.
Rehabilitating land around motorways
In 2022, VINCI Autoroutes signed a partnership agreement with France’s National Forest Office, which will help to rehabilitate 200 sites in the VINCI Autoroutes network by 2030.
Its 28,000 hectares of green areas along motorways offer many opportunities for ecological regeneration by planting trees, preserving natural environments and restoring wetlands.
A cold mix asphalt recycling process
developed by VINCI Construction was used for the first time in 2022, for a resurfacing operation in the VINCI Autoroutes network (A20 between Souillac and Cahors-nord, in south-west France).
