Activities in 2023
Given the decision by the Board of Directors to focus greater efforts on monitoring the adoption of procedures to promote the efficient management of CSR issues, VINCI’s Executive Management has established a work programme including a systematic review of all related topics (ethics, environment, civic engagement, occupational safety, diversity, employability, sharing the benefits of company growth), the associated commitments enshrined in the VINCI Manifesto, and how the latter are being implemented in the Group’s business lines, which is coordinated by the Strategy and CSR Committee. This committee’s meetings are open to all members of the Board of Directors, at which they receive presentations covering the expected outcomes as laid down by regulations and communicated by stakeholders, the targets set by the Group for each business line and the progress made. This approach gives all Board members access to full and up-to-date information on specific areas of CSR as they relate to the Group’s business lines and their material issues, but also on the ways in which actions and initiatives are put in place across the Group.
The table below presents the main focus areas and subjects addressed by the Strategy and CSR Committee during the year.
