In 2024, the Group invited its shareholders to explore structures such as the Musée des Confluences, which it built in Lyon.
Choosing to be a VINCI shareholder means investing in a robust business model founded on the sustainable growth of three key businesses Concessions, Energy and Construction in France and around the world. It means investing in a group of global scale that continually expands the range of its expertise and the geographical scope of its operations, a group that strives for all-round performance, which goes beyond economic concerns to include the achievement of social and environmental goals. Investing in VINCI means supporting a group that brings comprehensive and innovative solutions to major challenges ahead the energy and environmental transition, digital transformation and new needs in the areas of sustainable mobility and communication.
VINCI nurtures a relationship of trust with its individual shareholders, in which transparency and knowledge-sharing are fundamental. The Shareholder Relations Department continuously improves the way we communicate with individual shareholders and the tools we provide to give them a better understanding of the Group’s business activities and news. These include a freephone number in France and a quarterly newsletter.
In February, Christian Labeyrie, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of VINCI, gave a detailed video presentation of the Group’s full-year results, which was shared with members of the Shareholders’ Club. In September, following the release of the half-year results, shareholder “ambassadors” conducted an interview with Grégoire Thibault, VINCI’s Director of Investor Relations and Financial Communications, which was also disseminated to Shareholders’ Club members.
VINCI met with more than 400 shareholders in Lyon in June 2024, alongside Air Liquide, to present the Group’s performance, challenges and news.
The “Museum Route” itinerary inaugurated in 2024 introduced shareholders to sites built or renovated by VINCI all around France: Musée des Confluences in Lyon, Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, the Nausicaá aquarium in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Museon Arlaten in Arles and Musée Unterlinden in Colmar. The Group also launched a series of videos called “VINCI Inside” to present its businesses. Released every six months, episodes took viewers behind the scenes of the École des Métiers de l’Autoroute (a training centre for motorway workers) and London Gatwick airport.
On-site visits gave Group shareholders a chance to witness first-hand how VINCI, using its diverse areas of expertise, contributes to transforming living spaces, infrastructure and mobility, while helping to conserve world-renowned heritage. During these visits, individual and employee shareholders experienced a day in the life of the VINCI Autoroutes radio station at l’archipel, VINCI’s head office in Nanterre, outside Paris; took part in river and sea cruises in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux; and visited the Stade de France, a stadium financed, designed, built and operated by VINCI. In all, 35 events were held during the year, attended by 2,000 shareholders and their family members.
VINCI’s Shareholders’ Club held its 11th “In private with VINCI” competition, focusing on the Group’s lesser-known business activities. The seven winners were invited to a lunch at l’archipel with Christophe Pélissié du Rausas, Vice-President of Business Development and a member of the Executive Committee, and Grégoire Thibault, VINCI’s Director of Investor Relations and Financial Communications.
Such meetings foster face-to-face discussions with senior management in a relaxed atmosphere and enable shareholders to better understand VINCI’s strategic priorities, outlook and performance. In total, more than 11,000 shareholders have taken part in this competition since it began. Recognising the quality of VINCI’s shareholder relations, the French investment magazine Le Revenu once again gave it the top score in its 2024 ranking of CAC 40 companies.
