Develop environmentally valuable solutions

Group companies are developing solutions to help their customers reduce their own footprint. These include the Group’s involvement in developing new renewable energy assets (Cobra IS, VINCI Energies and VINCI Concessions); the Autoroute Bas Carbone programme deployed by VINCI Autoroutes and its regional partners to accelerate the decarbonisation of road transport; the Granulat+ programme from the Road France Division of VINCI Construction, to increase the percentage of material derived from recycling; the Ogêo range of formulated aggregates supplied via the circular economy; VINCI Construction’s commitment to use low-carbon concrete meeting Exegy® technical standards at its sites; the energy performance and emissions reduction solutions developed by VINCI Energies together with its customers; and VINCI Airports’ Monitoring Aircraft Carbon Footprint initiative that measures carbon emissions during taxiing in real time.

As part of its environmental ambition, VINCI is stepping up the development of solutions and initiatives combining economic and environmental value by integrating this concept as the focus of the work led by its innovation centres – especially research by the Leonard platform (see page 23).

VINCI also contributes to developing and disseminating scientific knowledge around the ecological transition of its businesses through lab recherche environnement, an initiative created by a partnership with three engineering schools to foster interaction between research and its application at the operational level.

Enhance employee engagement and customer awareness

Employee engagement to accelerate the environmental transformation of our businesses and services was stimulated by the fifth annual Environment Day; by the training programmes run throughout the Group and its entities; and by the second edition of the VINCI Environment Awards, which aims to maximise the environmental and economic impact of the solutions developed in the field. Employees from across 17 regions participated in the 2024 Environment Day. Of the 1,000 or so solutions submitted, 168 won regional prizes and 12 were named winners at the final ceremony in December 2024. The top prize went to Revilo®, a comprehensive solution unveiled by VINCI Construction as a response to urban heat islands. VINCI companies are also developing awareness initiatives for their customers, such as the campaigns conducted each year by the concession companies to encourage users to sort their waste at motorway service areas, in airports and, more generally, to adopt more eco-friendly behaviour.
