Scope 3 baseline emissions are adjusted each year to reflect the cumulative impact of changes in scope between 2019 and year Y, using the same method as for direct greenhouse gas emissions.
These assets are identified using ResiLens, an internal tool that uses data from the IPCC’s SSP5-8.5 scenario and specific internal studies to map out infrastructure under concession that is most exposed to climate change over the time horizons to 2030, 2050 and 2070. The risk level is assigned a score between 1 and 9 based on the site’s location, exposure to weather events and risks relating to infrastructure. Assets with a score higher than 7 are considered “high-risk”.
The eligibility and alignment of VINCI’s activities, as defined under the EU Taxonomy Regulation, was assessed within each business line, based on an analysis of its activities, taking into account existing processes, reporting systems and management assumptions.
The EU Taxonomy requires the disclosure of three KPIs: revenue, CapEx and OpEx.
In accordance with the definition provided in the Annex to the Disclosures Delegated Act, the Group’s consolidated revenue as reportedin its consolidated income statement (see the consolidated financial statements, page 338) is used as the denominator in Taxonomyeligibility and alignment analyses.
Revenue eligibility is determined with regard to the nomenclature of the processes and areas of expertise specific to each business line,which aligns coherently and operationally with EU Taxonomy requirements.
Taxonomy-aligned activities are eligible activities that meet substantial contribution and “do no significant harm” (DNSH) criteria and that also comply with minimum safeguards in the following areas: human rights (including labour and consumer rights), bribery and corruption, taxation and fair competition. Other than the minimum safeguards developed in more detail in paragraph 5.4.4.2 below, these criteria were assessed project by project or, in the case of VINCI Energies and Cobra IS, based on samples of projects representing their most significant operations. The results were then extrapolated to similar projects whenever relevant.
Revenue eligibility and alignment are only determined on the basis of revenue generated from companies outside VINCI. Intercompanyrevenue within the Group, such as the sale of recycled materials from the Group’s recycling facilities, quarries or production plants, is nottaken into account.
In accordance with the definition provided in the Annex to the Disclosures Delegated Act, the Taxonomy-eligible share of the Group’s capital expenditure (CapEx) is determined by calculating the ratio of the following financial aggregates:
As the denominator, the total of gross additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and gross additions to right-of-use assets in respect of leases recognised under IFRS 16, including additions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets resulting from business combinations (see Notes F.12 and H.17 to the consolidated financial statements, pages 364 and 371).

As the numerator, the sum of the capital expenditure identified in the denominator that is associated with Taxonomy-eligible orTaxonomy-aligned activities. First, individually eligible CapEx was identified. Then, the remaining CapEx (about 50% of total CapEx in 2025) was broken down by business line or division and the corresponding percentages of eligible and aligned revenue were applied. To date,no other basis for allocation has been found to be more relevant, given the diversity of the Group’s businesses and available informationsystems. The Group continues to perform sector analyses to identify potential non-financial bases for allocation.
The Group has identified eligible activities that contribute to several objectives, especially climate change mitigation, climate changeadaptation and the circular economy. After an assessment of these activities against substantial contribution and DNSH criteria, theseactivities were not found to be aligned with more than one objective.
The denominator value for operational expenditure (OpEx) was calculated in accordance with the definition provided in the Annex to theDisclosures Delegated Act, which includes total non-capitalised costs relating to research and development, building renovation measures and the short-term lease, maintenance and repair of Group assets.
