Women on the Move
This web series by VINCI Concessions zooms in on the women who are working in mobility and their inspiring career stories, to encourage others to follow in their path.
1 Guaranteeing universal social protection
In September 2022, VINCI launched its new universal social protection minimum standards, giving all Group employees, regardless of the country where they work, access to the same baseline guarantees in two key areas. First, social insurance provides financial assistance for each employee and their family in the event of a serious accident, whether in professional or private circumstances. Second, parental leave, paid at full salary, is provided to improve work-life balance for employees and their co-parents during this special time when a new child arrives.
2 Putting human rights into practice
Since 2022, all Group entities have had access to the Managing Human Rights platform on VINCI’s intranet, where they can assess their human rights practices, identify points to watch and build action plans to improve them. It is the operational counterpart to VINCI’s Guide on Human Rights, enabling every subsidiary around the world to apply the Group’s guidelines governing migrant labour, recruitment practices, working conditions, living conditions and relations with local communities.
3 20th anniversary of the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité
In the past 20 years, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité has backed almost 3,500 projects led by non-profits and supported by nearly 6,300 employees in France. With this combination of financial aid from the foundation and hands-on involvement by employees, VINCI is engaging locally alongside non-profit organisations that combat exclusion. Consistent with this local approach, the Group has created 16 other foundations over the years, in other countries and regions where it operates. The Group’s business lines, divisions and companies all join in with their own civic engagement initiatives.
4 Organic farming and social integration
Since the early 2010s, VINCI Autoroutes has supported Jardins de la Voie Romaine, whose first integration project turned an area alongside the A19 motorway in north-central France into an organic farm. Today, this integration and farming non-profit manages four sites, which include an apiary and shops selling local products. It currently employs close to 100 people, helping to maintain vibrant and cohesive communities in the region. Since the organisation’s start, close to 60% of those supported have returned to employment or entered training programmes leading to formal qualifications.
