For all its new residential property projects, VINCI Immobilier incorporates summer comfort criteria, in anticipation of future temperature increases. The targets go beyond the performance requirements of the French environmental regulation RE2020 (with maximum thresholds at least 20% and 50% lower than regulatory limits, depending on the region). As of the project design stage, bioclimatic principles are applied to incorporate the solutions best adapted to the building’s climate. In 2024, VINCI Energies elevated an electrical substation in Australia that had twice been threatened by floods. The project was part of a flood resilience programme to move exposed assets to a level above the 100-year flood index.
Ensuring access to drinking water for the local population is a major concern for climate change adaptation. Tedagua (Cobra IS) inaugurated the Nemmeli desalination plant in India in 2024. It has the capacity to supply drinking water to more than one million people.
Energy consumption
Energy consumption is a central focus in the environmental action plans defined by VINCI companies, which aim both to reduce the amount of energy they use and use low-carbon energy whenever possible.

The Group’s total energy consumption fell by more than 3% from 2023. This decrease mainly came from a 10% reduction in diesel consumption, partially offset by the increased consumption of petrol (15%), LPG (23%) and biofuels (71%). However the energy mix remains relatively stable. Fuel, especially diesel fuel, is the energy source that the Group uses the most, primarily to power site machines and its fleet of vehicles. The consumption of high-carbon fuels, such as heavy fuel oil and coal, accounts for about 2% of the Group’s total energy consumption. In 2024, biofuels accounted for the 3% of the energy mix, up from 2% in 2023. The biofuels used by the Group are detailed in paragraph 5.3.1, “Energy indicators”, of the methodology note, page 274.
VINCI’s activities are all considered to be of high climate impact. Net income from high climate impact activities (€4,863 million) is the net income attributable to Group operations presented in the consolidated financial statements on page 316.
