VINCI aims to limit its impacts on natural environments and adapt its businesses to long-term ecological challenges. The Group applies the avoid, reduce, compensate hierarchy and aims to achieve no net loss of biodiversity by 2030. This strategy focuses on four areas: strengthening governance, improving knowledge, reducing the pressures on biodiversity of the Group’s activities and developing the restoration of natural environments. VINCI implements its ecological engineering expertise to integrate biodiversity into its projects, offers innovative water management solutions and supports its clients in developing ecosystem-friendly projects. In 2024, VINCI renewed its commitments to act4nature international, which were also recognised by the global “It’s Now for Nature” campaign by Business for Nature.
VINCI is actively committed to developing renewable energy production assets through its Cobra IS, VINCI Energies and VINCI Concessions business lines. The Group is also accelerating the scale-up of the environmental solutions with the highest potential, to transform local initiatives into global solutions, strengthen intrapreneurship and stimulate collective intelligence to respond to large- scale ecological challenges.
Flagship projects include the Charge As You Drive initiative led by VINCI Autoroutes, the Granulat+ programme and the Ogêo® offering, which promote materials recycling, the use of low-carbon concrete compliant with Exegy® standards at VINCI Construction, and the energy efficiency solutions developed by VINCI Energies. Finally, VINCI supports research and innovation through Leonard, its foresight platform, and lab recherche environnement, created in partnership with three engineering schools to bring science and practical applications closer together.
In 2025, the sixth annual Environment Day, the training programmes run throughout the Group and its entities, and the Scale up! support programme played a critical role in strengthening employee commitment to the environmental transformation of businesses and offerings. Through Scale up!, the 19 environmental solutions recognised by the VINCI 2024 Environment Awards – as well as their project leaders – benefited from tailored support throughout the year to scale up and amplify their impact. At the same time, VINCI companies continue their efforts to raise customer awareness. For example, concession companies run annual campaigns encouraging users to sort their waste at motorway service areas and airports, and, more generally, to adopt more eco-friendly behaviour. This is essential for growing good habits and bringing all stakeholders on board with the environmental transition.
