SUPPORT FOR THE SOCIAL AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY AT LOCAL LEVEL
In 2024, LISEA, the VINCI Railways subsidiary that holds the concession for the SEA HSL, established three 2-year partnerships with players in the social and solidarity economy and research fields in the regions served by the line. Through its partnership with INAÉ, a local body promoting professional integration and employment, Lisea supports “Campus insertion” – a training programme designed to help integration-through-economic-activity structures develop their market gardening skills and adopt agro-ecological practices while building an offering rooted in their locality, in response to Local Food Plans in particular. Through its partnership with Bordeaux Mécènes Solidaires, Lisea supports charitable projects aimed at helping disadvantaged groups in the Gironde department, with a focus on food insecurity, youth integration, inclusion, and integration through economic activity. Lastly, Lisea supports FORLand – an experimental forest research project led by the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) and the University of Bordeaux, with a focus on relay cropping.

NOT JUST A HIGHWAY – AN INVITATION TO TOURISM
VINCI Highways goes further than facilitating mobility – it aims to create lasting value for the regions served by its network. In Colombia, Vía Sumapaz launched the “Todo por Descubrir” (everything to discover) campaign with Ruta 40 (VINCI Construction) in 2024. Developed with the tourism offices of both of the provinces crossed by the Bogotá-Girardot highway, Sumapaz and Alto Magdalena, the initiative highlights a guide to around 200 attractions, restaurants, places to stay, natural beauty spots and more. A website was also launched, as well as a journalism competition to reward the best reporting showcasing the region. In the long term, Vía Sumapaz intends to develop deals with these attractions, offering the drivers on its network reduced entry, so as to further integrate this piece of infrastructure into the local economy.

GIRLS ON THE MOVE
For International Women’s Day in 2020, Lima Expresa held its first-ever Girls on the Move Week, marking the start of an unwavering commitment to gender diversity. In 2021, it took part in Girls in Tech & Science to encourage girls to pursue science and tech careers. In 2022 and 2023, it contributed to the Mujeres que construyen (Women who build) initiative. In 2024, it released a mini-series called Mujeres por la Movilidad Positiva (women for positive mobility), highlighting the work and commitment of women in infrastructure-related roles at VINCI Highways.
