The first VINCI Environment Awards garnered more than 2,500 applications. The second campaign kicked off in January 2024.
In this context of climate emergency, the environment is VINCI’s strategic priority. The Group is tackling this issue by playing an active role in the transition of the built environment, infrastructure and mobility. For this, VINCI recast its environmental policy and, in 2020, it laid out a new road map for the coming decade.
The Group has committed to reducing its business activities’ direct CO2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 40% by 2030 (baseline year of 2018), on a trajectory leading to carbon neutrality by 2050. It has also pledged to achieve a 20% reduction in indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3) by 2030 (baseline year of 2019).
In addition, the Group has made deep commitments to support a circular economy and preserve natural environments (see page 28 and below). The road map calls for action plans by each business line and strong employee engagement to put the Group’s collective commitment into action. The VINCI Environment Awards, the second edition of which was launched in early 2024, promote these locally led initiatives.
VINCI welcomes the energy and environmental transition as a powerful driver for adding new expertise and solutions while supporting its business activities’ long term growth. The Group’s policy of innovation is building opportunities in this transformation.
As novel solutions and services emerge that create environmental value, promising activities open up for the Group’s business lines.
