PRIORITISING SAFETY FOR ALL
Safety is a fundamental value and vigilance is the word at VINCI Concessions. Every employee is asked to observe and, if necessary, bring to a halt any behaviour linked to hazardous situations.
A shared priority for all
The culture of safety is one of the pillars of responsible performance at VINCI Concessions. The Safety Week in May is a real highlight every year, with discussion and awareness-raising for employees all over the world, reinforcing collective vigilance. In 2024, certain entities took part for the first time, like Entrevias in Brazil and the seven airports in Cabo Verde. In line with the “Spot & Stop” approach, VINCI Concessions also produced new Safety Stories, a series of videos where employees of the company’s entities share their personal initiatives to “dare to work safely” – inspiring stories that attest to their individual commitment to creating a safer working environment.
Daily vigilance all over the world
Besides this major annual event, local entities maintain and develop this safety culture in their day-to-day. In France, among the 100 or so initiatives carried out by the VINCI Autoroutes Foundation in 2024 with teams from VINCI Autoroutes, the fourth edition of the “Quand allez-vous percuter ?” (When is it going to hit home?) campaign exhibited accident-damaged patrol vans near very busy toll stations. Broadcast on television and shared on social media, the video clip to raise awareness associated with this hard-hitting campaign racked up almost 70 million views. Meanwhile, VINCI Highways is working to promote a safety culture throughout its worldwide network, in diverse geographical areas. In 2024, efforts were therefore made to integrate new concessions in regular safety coordination meetings. This approach is bearing fruit, with the number of workplace accidents down 22% in 2024 compared to 2023.
