2025 Universal Registration Document

The members of the Responsible Procurement Committee include the Group’s Vice-President for the Environment, the Director of Social Responsibility, the Chief Ethics and Vigilance Officer, and the Purchasing Coordination Director, as well as representatives from the procurement departments in the business lines. The committee ensures that procurement processes factor in sustainability aspects, oversees cross-business initiatives, monitors emerging regulatory developments, and facilitates the sharing of best practices. These practices are then promoted within each of the Group’s business lines and divisions by their internal structures, such as procurement committees or Pivot Clubs (see paragraph 3.2.2.1, “Human rights and health and safety issues for procurement and subcontracting”, page 269).

At the end of 2022, the Group launched POSIT’V (Path of Sustainable IT by VINCI), an ambitious programme advocating the responsible use of digital technology. Its main objective is to reduce the negative environmental, social and ethical impacts of digital technologies and their use. The programme is led by the Group’s Information Systems Department, in close collaboration with the Information Systems departments of the business lines, together with the Group’s Environment and Human Resources departments.

A general policy document has been developed and communicated across the Group, providing a robust framework for the responsible use of digital technology. It sets goals and identifies levers to achieve them. The programme committee, whose members are the responsible digital tech officers appointed by each business line, created a road map and several fundamental reference documents. These include a directive to extend the life cycle of IT equipment, a best practice guide for more responsible management of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and a scorecard to assess the responsible use of artificial intelligence, which will be rolled out in 2026 and used for the AI risk governance programme.

2.1.2.2 Training and awareness

New training and awareness modules continued to be introduced in 2025, with certain sessions focusing on specific environmental issues or business activities.

Raising employees’ awareness of environmental challenges

At the end of 2025, close to 92,000 employees (59,000 in 2024), or about 32% of the Group’s workforce, had taken the e-learning module developed in June 2020 to raise awareness about environmental issues, explain VINCI’s environmental ambition and create a common language. Other modules are available for all employees on topics such as the climate resilience of structures, responsible procurement practices and the responsible use of digital technology. In December 2023, VINCI’s Environment Department launched an online training programme called #LearnForEnvironment. This campaign aims to raise awareness of environmental sustainability Group-wide and train VINCI employees on the related issues. Two courses have been developed: the first in four parts to explain the basics about climate change, resources, the circular economy and biodiversity, and the second in seven parts to dig deeper into these subjects, gaining an understanding of the key role of companies and the social and societal issues surrounding climate change. At the end of 2025, around 6,500 staff had completed at least one module of these courses offered through Axa Climate School.

Training employees on the Group’s environmental issues

Training on environmental issues is also incorporated into existing courses (works, studies, operations, etc.). Dedicated environment modules are systematically included in training programmes for managers and executives, led by VINCI Academy or the Academy structures set up by the business lines. Introduced in 2023, the “Environnement by VINCI” training course for senior environmental managers and operational staff, developed jointly with the Environment Department, VINCI Academy and Sciences Po Paris, was delivered to 32 executives in 2025.

The table below presents a few examples of the new training courses offered by VINCI business lines in 2025:

In 2025, these actions taken together represented a total of 111,770 hours devoted to the environment.
