VINCI Concessions endeavours to drive progress in sustainable mobility – a challenge that is critical to the long-term success and performance of our business.
We are stepping up our efforts to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions and support reductions in Scope 3 emissions in order to optimise resources thanks to the circular economy and preserve natural environments. We firmly believe that, far from being a constraint, adapting our infrastructure for the benefit of the environment is a powerful driver of innovation, efficiency and value creation.
Everywhere we operate, we apply the same systematic and rigorous environmental approach across our infrastructure. We also strive to foster local momentum through exemplary achievements that are often regional firsts. These include Salvador Bahia airport receiving ACA Level 5 certification, as well as the development of Greece’s largest highway photovoltaic programme ever along the Athens–Corinth– Patras highway – which is already the country’s first fully LED-lit highway.
As climate disruption accelerates, monitoring weather events and anticipating risks (flooding, drought, extreme heat, etc.) is becoming central to how we manage our infrastructure. Across the globe, our teams conduct targeted studies and, together with our stakeholders, develop action plans that strengthen the long-term resilience of buildings and infrastructure, while optimising the resources allocated to adaption projects.
In countries where we operate, we are actively working to decarbonise our entire value chain. We aim to achieve net-zero emissions across our direct operations by 2050. To make this happen, we are actively reducing our energy consumption by, for instance, performing energy audits and rolling out energy management systems, switching to LED lighting, replacing heating and air conditioning systems, and optimising tunnel lighting and ventilation. We are working to decarbonise our energy supply by developing on-site renewable energy generation for self-consumption, signing dedicated power contracts and replacing our fleets of internal combustion engine vehicles with electric or biofuel-powered alternatives.
