2025-2026 Engagement Report

The concession model serving local communities

The concession model serving local communities

VINCI Concessions promotes the concession model worldwide by demonstrating professionalism in delivering all projects entrusted to it, achieving levels of performance that exceed initial targets in many cases.

Designing and building with regions

Mobility infrastructure is essential for regions. As a trusted partner to national and local authorities, we develop each project collaboratively with our various stakeholders, paying close attention to user expectations and local needs. Accordingly, key development projects developed by VINCI Autoroutes – such as the western Montpellier bypass or the urban and environmental improvements along the A7 highway in Valence – are carried out in close collaboration with the relevant cities. Furthermore, VINCI Railways has overseen the financing, design and construction of the South Europe Atlantic high-speed rail line (SEA HSL) since 2011, and its operation and maintenance since 2017, maintaining continuous dialogue with local authorities, businesses and environmental groups to ensure local expectations are met.

Making a positive impact

Airports, highways and railways, by their very nature, have a profound socio-economic impact. We are aware of this responsibility and therefore strive to make a positive impact in terms of integration, employment, and business for our local partners. In France, of the 2.7 million work hours logged throughout the A57 expansion project in Toulon, over 177,000 hours were completed by people taking part in integration schemes – more than double the initial pledge made by VINCI Autoroutes. What’s more, 87% of hires were from the Toulon area. In Colombia, where a major construction project led in synergy with VINCI Construction Grands Projets employed up to 6,000 workers, VINCI Highways continues to put its commitment into action with a campaign promoting tourist destinations and regional points of interest to drivers.

Creating lasting value

As global demand for mobility continues to grow, VINCI Concessions is responding to this fundamental challenge by building lasting relationships with concession grantors. Its ambition is to create value through every project it undertakes – by improving connectivity to boost tourism and facilitate the movement of goods and people, and by modernising installations to accelerate the environmental transition. More than 400 new routes were launched in 2025 across the VINCI Airports network. In Brazil, VINCI Highways teams brought Via Cristais – a key national route left without an operator for several months – back to full strategic functionality in less than a year through rapid infrastructure improvements.
