Policies

The Group’s primary responsibility in relation to its employees is to ensure their health and safety in the workplace. Aware of the risks involved with their activities, companies organise their production and operating processes around this priority, which includes external personnel, partners and customers. Profitability should never, under any circumstances, take precedence over the essential need for protection.

Safety is a major goal for VINCI, with a number-one priority: achieving zero accidents. Reiterated in the VINCI Manifesto, the goal applies to all individuals – employees, temporary staff or subcontractors – working on a VINCI construction or operating site. As part of its continuous dialogue with Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI), VINCI has joined the latter’s Global Alliance for Healthy and Safe Workplaces campaign by signing a declaration in support of the recognition of occupational health and safety as a fundamental right by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). In June 2022, health and safety were confirmed as the fifth category of fundamental principles and rights at work.
