Optimise resources thanks to the circular economy
In a context of increasing scarcity of natural resources, some of which are essential to the operation of its businesses, VINCI aims to limit the footprint of its activities by making them part of a circular economy approach.
The Group will achieve this objective by improving its design and production processes, reducing the extraction of virgin raw materials, favouring efficient techniques and behaviour, and promoting reuse, repurposing and recycling.
Attention to supply goes hand in hand with improving waste management, as the Group’s business sectors are among the leading generators of waste. VINCI is also developing effective solutions for the recovery of its own waste and the waste produced by its users, and is incorporating recycled materials into its products and services, particularly in its road activities.
Preserve natural environments
VINCI aims to reduce its impacts on natural environments by aligning its businesses on long-term ecological challenges. The Group is thus accelerating the rollout of its ecological engineering expertise across all its businesses, to ensure that they can give more consideration to biodiversity and natural environments in all their operations and for projects of any size. To protect water resources, VINCI addresses needs at the local level and promotes innovative hydraulic infrastructure and water treatment processes. Governance, the sharing of best practices, and partnerships with ecological institutions and organisations are being improved to contribute to the Group’s progress. As part of some projects carried out for their customers, its companies are also developing comprehensive ecological engineering solutions and alternative versions that are better for natural environments. In 2024, VINCI renewed its commitments to act4nature international.
The global “It’s now for nature” campaign, coordinated by Business for Nature, has recognised VINCI’s biodiversity strategy.
