Long-cycle activities by nature, concessions are the most exposed to climate change and are therefore subject to systematic analysis. VINCI turns these challenges into opportunities by developing resilient infrastructure for regions, such as sea walls, drainage systems and cool islands.
Optimise resources thanks to the circular economy
To tackle the increasing scarcity of natural resources, VINCI is committed to reducing the footprint of its activities by adopting a circular economy approach.
This strategy is structured into three complementary areas of action:
- promoting the use of construction techniques and materials that economise on natural resources;
- increasing the supply of recycled materials and processing facilities, especially in road activities;
- improving waste sorting and recovery by creating specific channels and raising user awareness. Locally rooted and adapted to the diversity of businesses, circular economy initiatives include optimising design and manufacturing processes, promoting more resource-efficient behaviour, and reusing and repurposing materials.
