In addition, VINCI has made deep commitments to scale up the circular economy and preserve natural environments. These three focuses of its strategy are interdependent. Therefore, although each pillar of the Group’s environmental ambition has its own levers for action, any initiative undertaken on one pillar has positive repercussions on the other two. For example, by addressing climate change and lowering resource use, VINCI is also alleviating two pressures on biodiversity.
VINCI is mobilising its teams and its potential for innovation to accelerate the transformation of its business lines and the creation of environmental value in the projects it leads for its customers, as well as in the services it provides for its infrastructure users and partners. The integrated design-build-operate approach helps reduce environmental impact at each stage of a project’s life cycle. The development of partnerships with external stakeholders is focused on this same goal.
VINCI’s environmental ambition is structured into three key interdependent pillars: acting for the climate, optimising resources thanks to the circular economy and preserving natural environments.
