Placing safety at the heart of our value chain
Our safety policy is championed by a safety committee, which meets twice a year and is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer. This policy sets out practices and requirements across five pillars: training our employees; engaging and assessing our managers; conducting in-depth analyses of risks and accidents; sharing and communicating them; and spreading our safety culture in every country by involving our employees, their representatives and external companies. Each of our entities implements its own safety action plan. Lastly, during construction and operations, our subcontractors and on-site personnel are integrated into our health and safety management system.
Raising awareness to help spread our safety culture
Our managers are responsible for promoting our health and safety culture within their teams. A network of champions helps spread this culture across the organisation and share best practices developed in different subsidiaries and countries all year long, particularly during the annual Safety Week. In France, for example, VINCI Autoroutes has rolled out Jarvis, an app that keeps a record of safety briefings and inspection reports and gives teams access to product safety data sheets.
Managing environmental risks
Mitigating and preventing environmental risks is integral to our commitment and responsibility as an infrastructure concession holder. VINCI Autoroutes has established a pollution incident management procedure, which is followed for any event that could impact the environment. This approach aligns with ISO 14001 certification requirements.
