2025-2026 Engagement Report

All of VINCI Concessions’ subsidiaries prioritise climate change mitigation and are taking action on several fronts to reduce their CO₂ emissions. In 2025, the Athens–Corinth–Patras highway became Greece’s first fully smart LED-lit highway. Over 5,000 lighting units were installed on the Corinth–Patras section of the highway and connected to a system that manages each one individually. This investment has reduced electricity consumption by over 55%. Meanwhile, heating system upgrades are ongoing.

At Faro airport in Portugal, for instance, propane boilers have been replaced with heat pumps. On the Bogotá–Girardot highway in Colombia, the first electric maintenance, patrol and emergency response vehicles have entered service. The fleet will grow to 31 units by 2028.

A rapid and successful rollout in Brazil

In Brazil, VINCI Concessions’ environmental roadmap was rolled out rapidly across airports and highways under concession, with remarkable results. Entrevias, a 570-kilometre highway in the state of São Paulo, has become the first highway in VINCI Highways’ network in Latin America to be fully powered by renewable electricity, sourced through a combination of renewable energy purchase agreements and on-site solar generation. Installed at toll plazas and inspection stations, 12 photovoltaic power plants generate 2.2 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity per year, powering over 1,400 pieces of equipment and avoiding 166 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. Via Cristais, a 594-kilometre highway along the Rio de Janeiro–Belo Horizonte–Brasília corridor, joined the VINCI Highways network in 2025 after several months without an operator and has already switched to 100% renewable electricity and converted to LED lighting. The early synergies between the two highways foreshadow the rollout of a comprehensive environmental programme, with major works planned for 2027. Salvador Bahia airport, which has been modernised by VINCI Airports since 2018, now operates entirely on renewable electricity.
