Stepping up action to deliver on the Group’s environmental ambition
Forging the sustainable transformation of living environments, infrastructure, mobility and the energy transition at a local level.
VINCI fully embraces its responsibility to deliver on its 2030 environmental ambition, with its twofold objective:
- significantly reduce the direct impact of its activities;
- help to shrink the footprint of its customers, users, suppliers and partners through shared solutions.
VINCI’s environmental ambition is structured into three interdependent pillars:
- acting for the climate;
- optimising resources thanks to the circular economy;
- preserving natural environments.
Act for the climate
VINCI is on a decarbonisation pathway in line with the commitments of the Paris Agreement (see “Transition plan”, page 210). The Group aims to reduce its direct emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 40% by 2030 from 2018 levels and reduce its indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3) by 20% by 2030 from 2019 levels.
These targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), align VINCI with the well below 2°C scenario, within a robust methodological framework. At the same time, the Group is carrying out more foresight projects and research and development to contribute to global net zero by 2050 but has not yet set a quantified and certified target.
VINCI’s climate change adaptation strategy is based on RésiLens, an internal tool for assessing the vulnerability of assets to extreme weather events.
