VINCI continued to roll out a vast programme launched in 2018 in France focused on young people from priority neighbourhoods. Called Give Me Five, the initiative targets five areas of action: guidance, individual support, integration, employability and learning. Under this programme, VINCI hosts middle school students each year from France’s priority education network for work experience placements in Group companies (more than 4,200 in 2022). Launched in the Greater Paris area and the northern and south-eastern regions in France, the personalised support module involved more than 5,000 middle school students in 2022, in partnership with the non-profits Viens voir mon taf, Rêv'Elles, Crée ton avenir and Unis-Cité. Since the start of the 2022 school year, these students have also had access to free tutoring.
Five social joint ventures created in recent years in France with specialised partners have continued to grow, employing people on social integration contracts in jobs in line with VINCI’s areas of business, such as construction site logistics and maintenance of living facilities and green spaces.
DEVELOP APPRENTICESHIPS AND BUILD LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS
In all countries where VINCI operates, its companies form partnerships with vocational training and higher education establishments by helping build career paths for students from middle school to university level.
In France, in partnership with the JobIRL social orientation network, VINCI created a platform in 2021 to help people find training courses related to the Group’s businesses and work-based training programmes at its companies. At the apprenticeship and work-based training student fair organised by L’Étudiant, an online media outlet and higher education resource, nearly 500 young people came to the VINCI stand to meet with recruiters and young people currently on work-based training programmes at Group companies. More than 150 personality tests were conducted to help them in building their apprenticeship plan. In 2022, more than 6,530 young people were involved in work-based training within the Group.

ACT TO PROMOTE INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
VINCI seeks to foster equal opportunity and prevent all forms of discrimination in its businesses, in line with the commitments set out in its Manifesto. To ensure the practical application of this policy, the Group has created a network of inclusion and diversity coordinators totalling some 700 active members.
VINCI is committed to promoting gender diversity, especially in management. The percentage of women in management positions was 22.2% in 2022 (25% in France). The Group has set a goal to increase both the percentage of women in management positions and the percentage of women members on the Group’s management committees to 30% by 2030. The gender equality index, which has been extended internationally, provides companies with a common set of indicators to assess equal pay and promotion policies.
In 2022, Jocelyne Vassoille, VINCI’s Vice-President for Human Resources, became honorary president of the non-profit Elles Bougent. A partner to the organisation since 2018, VINCI is its largest network of sponsors and correspondents, with nearly 650 employees worldwide engaged in actions to remove gender bias from scientific and technical professions.
VINCI maintained a concerted policy to support the employment of people with dis-abilities, implemented across three fronts:
- Job retention: the Trajeo’h association supported more than 1,000 people with a disability in 2022 (7,000 since 2014) into a new career path either within or outside the Group.
- Recruitment: hiring is done primarily through the in-house recruitment consultancy Habileo’h, the Group’s first social mission company, created in 2021.
- Use of sheltered companies: the work sub-contracted to the sheltered sector totalled revenue of €7.1 million in 2022. Group entities are aided in this approach by the Supplyeo’h platform.
