In all the regions where VINCI operates, more than 2,030 employees donated their time to support solidarity actions in 2023. VINCI Solidarity, the dedicated engagement platform for employees across the Group, makes it easier for them to get involved. Launched during the health crisis, this platform is constantly evolving and offers opportunities for missions with new national and local non-profits.
To ramp up its team’s actions, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité has built up a network of ambassadors throughout France since 2017. A total of 113 employee volunteers have put themselves forward to support project initiators, promote employee engagement and improve follow up on the actions carried out, ensuring that they are closely aligned with local needs.
Since 2010, the Cité Solidaire (Solidarity in the Community) programme’s calls for projects have focused on small non-profits working in disadvantaged areas. In 2023, three calls for projects were issued in France, in Troyes, Cherbourg and Saint-Gilles, in addition to one in Germany, in Cottbus. To date, 51 regions and communities have benefited from this programme in France and other countries.
Alongside this programme, a major solidarity mobility project has been rolled out in the Corrèze department, offering isolated and vulnerable people access to a vehicle to help them complete their administrative processes and return to stable employment. Thanks to the funding provided, the non-profit ADER Mobilité was able to purchase 12 vehicles that will enable people in need to overcome their mobility problems. Within six months of its launch, more than 30 people had already benefited from this service.
In line with this same commitment to building strong local roots, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité supported 12 non-profits in 2023 through its involvement in the Break Poverty Foundation’s programmes applying a local endowment fund approach to tackle poverty throughout France. This innovative initiative makes it easier for businesses to get involved in communities alongside non-profit organisations that are working to prevent youth poverty and combat social exclusion. In 2023, the Fondation VINCI pour la Cité set out its commitment to supporting six new local endowment funds against poverty, taking the total number up to 10 since this initiative was launched in 2019.
The Fondation VINCI pour la Cité, through its financial and human support for projects that are closely aligned with communities, supports the VINCI Group’s ambition to be a sustainable and responsible presence wherever it operates.
