Team spirit and a sense of solidarity are integral to VINCI Concessions’ culture. These values drive engagement among employees, who are regularly invited to get involved in local or global initiatives. Here is an overview of some of the initiatives undertaken in 2024.

LONDON GATWICK, A CHAMPION OF INCLUSION
London Gatwick airport made it onto Inclusive Companies’ 2024/25 Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List, attesting to the airport teams’ focus on inclusion. In 2024, for example, the airport launched a diversity, equity and inclusion training programme that was developed in partnership with Right Track Learning. The first wave of this programme focused on managers, 93% of whom opted to take part in 2024 on a voluntary basis, with a session looking at unconscious bias, how to manage complex situations and useful tools for sparking conversations about these issues.
