Environment

Why act now?

Climate urgency

Society awareness

Employees expectations

Investor requests

Environment has always been a major concern at VINCI. A dynamic of acceleration has started, given the scale of the situation. There’s indeed an urgency to act for environment: global warming, repeated flooding, causing a general society awareness. There’s also a clear acceleration of the expectations from our own employees and from the external third parties like investors on environmental issues. We therefore have to act individually and collectively.

We are part of the problem but we are also part of the solution

Xavier Huillard CEO VINCI

VINCI’s environmental ambition

VINCI has made a strong environmental commitment:
develop solutions that contribute to improve the living environment while managing and reducing the impact of its activities in 3 key areas:

Act for the climate

Reduction of CO2 emissions, energy efficiency, resilience of structures, etc.

Optimise ressources thanks to circulate economy

Sorting and recovery of waste, recycled materials, etc.

Preserve natural environment

Biodiversity, water, air, soil.

At the end of 2019, VINCI Energies made these commitments to reduce its environmental impact. First, to reduce by 40% direct greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 2030 compared to 2018. Secondly to recycle 80% of our inert waste and a 100% of our hazardous waste. And thirdly to optimize the use of water.

To have a global strategy for our carbon footprint, assessing, analyzing and reducing all scopes is necessary. That is why VINCI Energies is now focusing on indirect GHG emissions (scope 3).

Each employee, at every level of the company, is in a position to adapt the roadmap to their particular challenges and priorities.
