Knowing that the transport sector accounts for about a third of greenhouse gas emissions, VINCI is reducing the carbon footprint of the infrastructure concessions it manages.

In France, VINCI Autoroutes has equipped all of its motorway service areas with charging stations for electric light vehicles. Along with VINCI Construction and other public and private sector partners, it is also preparing to test dynamic charging for heavy vehicles, using induction systems and charging rails (see page 49). Outside France, VINCI Highways is also installing charging stations across its network, in countries where electric mobility is growing. In Germany, the transport ministry awarded contracts to VINCI Concessions for the deployment of 106 charging stations, providing a total of 828 charge points on roads in the Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig areas. 

Decarbonisation is also a major goal for the aviation sector. VINCI Airports is aiming to achieve net zero emissions for its Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 within the European Union (including London Gatwick) and by 2050 in the rest of the world. By 2023 it had already shrunk its direct footprint by 50% compared to 2018 levels. This reduction was achieved, for example, through energy-efficient renovations and the deployment of solar power plants at its airports, whose combined installed capacity at the end of 2023 was 48 MWp. VINCI Airports also supports airlines’ own efforts to decarbonise by adjusting landing fees based on aircraft emissions and distributing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced from used cooking oil. SAF is supplied at four airports in France.
