2024 Universal Registration Document

VINCI is aware of the responsibility it bears due to the nature of its business activities, but also recognises its ability to contribute positively to the environmental transition.

That is why in 2020 the Group recast its 2030 environmental ambition, with a twofold objective: significantly reduce the direct impact of its activities and help to shrink the footprint of its customers, users, suppliers and partners by developing shared solutions. This ambition is cascaded into three areas that align with the key challenges faced by the Group’s businesses: act for the climate, optimise resources thanks to the circular economy and preserve natural environments. In 2024, 41% of VINCI’s revenue and 43% ^(*) of its capital expenditure (CapEx) were eligible for the EU Taxonomy, and 22% of its revenue and 22% ^(*) of its CapEx were aligned with the EU Taxonomy.

Act for the climate

VINCI is taking action to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the commitments of the Paris Agreement (see the transition plan, page 205). The Group has pledged to reduce its direct emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 40% from 2018 levels by 2030 and reduce its indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3) by 20% from 2019 levels by 2030.

This target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and means that the Group’s trajectory is in line with the well below 2°C scenario, while guaranteeing its methodological framework.

VINCI continues its research, development and foresight analysis on its trajectory to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, but has not set a quantified and certified target for this deadline.

In response to the challenge of adapting to the consequences of climate change, a research group created from the Leonard innovation and foresight platform and reflecting the full scope of VINCI’s expertise has continued its work in addressing resilience. The aim is to increasingly incorporate resilience into the Group’s structures and solutions.
