Assessments shared with the Group’s executive leadership
The management committees of the Group’s business lines and divisions are kept informed of reports of serious accidents and potentially serious incidents.
In addition, health and safety performance is measured and tracked using relevant indicators, which are presented to the management committees of business lines and divisions, to enable improvement actions to be discussed and leadership engagement to be renewed. At VINCI Autoroutes, the management committee examines key indicators every two weeks. Management reviews are also held annually to analyse results obtained and set new goals for the future. At VINCI Concessions, the safety policy is championed by a Safety Committee, which meets twice a year and is chaired by the CEO. At these meetings, the committee assesses the results to date and progress made on action plans. At VINCI Construction, every meeting of managers opens with a safety update; likewise, its executive committee reviews significant events at the start of every meeting and examines results twice a month. At VINCI Energies, prevention and the safety culture form an integral part of the executive committee’s responsibilities. The executive committee and the management committees review detailed analyses of major accidents and other potentially serious incidents to learn from them and prevent such incidents from happening again.
Presentations are also made to the Strategy and CSR Committee, Remuneration Committee and Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, in order to evaluate managers’ performance, and to the entire Board of Directors.
The close monitoring carried out by the Group and its business lines and divisions may lead to a third-party audit being commissioned, especially if a key performance indicator is in decline.

Definitions
VINCI has made public commitments to respect, protect and promote the rights of people and local communities that may be impacted by its projects and activities. The Group continuously strengthens its procedures to assess and prevent human rights risks, while also assisting its entities to be proactive in this area and develop operational responses. It considers that the human rights challenges faced and the solutions to be implemented are best tackled locally, close to its people and operations. Because it understands that these issues are complex, VINCI also engages in ongoing dialogue and collaboration with its stakeholders and peers.
The Sustainability report provides additional information complementing this section (for example, see paragraph 3.1.2, “Processes for interacting with Group employees and their representatives”, page 239; paragraph 3.2, “Human rights and health and safety in the value chain (ESRS S2)”, page 256; and paragraph 3.3.2.2, “Preventing negative impacts on local communities”, page 265).
A Human Rights Steering Committee, comprised of the human resources directors of all business lines and divisions, was set up at the end of 2015 to undertake the extensive work required to identify the Group’s major risks. Employee consultations and discussion forums were held, at which representatives of organisations or companies outside the Group sometimes participated to share their experience. The steering committee also took into account international standards, specialist research, guidelines and previous work produced by the Group (such as its handbook on fundamental social rights or standards for workers’ accommodation).
