The environment, a strategic priority
Winners in the final round of the Environment Awards will receive support in 2025 for the large-scale deployment of their solutions.
In 2020, VINCI adopted an ambitious environmental road map, with the dual aim of significantly reducing its activities’ footprint and playing an active role in the ecological transition of the built environment, infrastructure and mobility. Acting on this strategic priority, the Group has pledged to reduce its direct CO2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 40% and its indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3) by 20%, all by 2030. The Group has also made voluntary commitments to scale up the circular economy and preserve natural environments.
This policy is already delivering tangible results in line with the targets set (see also page 32 and below). It is supported by the action plans developed and implemented by each business line, as well as the committed participation of their teams, who transform the Group’s collective goals into concrete initiatives.
The second edition of VINCI’s Environment Awards, held in 2024, has confirmed the depth of this employee engagement. Group employees submitted 1,000 positive impact solutions, receiving 168 regional distinctions and 12 awards in the final round.
The environmental transition permeates VINCI’s key business areas of mobility, energy and construction. The Group welcomes it as a valuable opportunity to reshape its practices and products and as a driver of its business activities’ long-term growth. The Group’s R&D and innovation policy contributes by spurring the development of novel solutions and services that create environmental value, in collaboration with the Group’s scientific and tech partners.
