A positive socio-economic impact
An in-depth study in 2022 confirmed VINCI’s far-reaching impact on local social and economic environments in France. In 2021, VINCI contributed 1.5% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) through its direct, indirect and induced impacts across the entire value chain. For example, one VINCI job supports an additional 3.6 jobs in France. Almost all Group purchases in France are made on the domestic market, including a large share from small and medium enterprises. Priority is on working with local suppliers and subcontractors to further contribute to regional growth.
1 Educational guidance for young people
With more than 5,000 middle school students supported during the 2021-2022 academic year and close to 9,000 enrolled in 2022-2023, the Give Me Five programme is growing fast. Under the programme, in France, VINCI hosts students from priority neighbourhoods for work experience placements in Group companies. Hundreds of Group employees get involved locally by giving the students an introduction to the many varied aspects of their jobs. Another Give Me Five initiative is an innovative integration effort that helps dozens of young people at risk of exclusion to return to employment each year.
