Making the world a better place by supporting women in mobility
VINCI Concessions is committed to promoting gender equality and diversity within its teams. Increasing the proportion of women in mobility – a sector where gender equality has not yet been achieved – is a key pillar of this commitment.
Challenging stereotypes
The Women on the move network, rolled out internationally across VINCI Concessions’ infrastructure, shines a spotlight on female role models throughout the year to encourage more women to join the sector. Since 2019, VINCI Autoroutes’ PluriElles programme has supported 14 talented women each year, pairing them with senior executive mentors. The Equal Plane network set up at London Gatwick airport in 2021 comprises over 160 members, who contribute ideas on topics such as maternity policy improvements, dedicated facilities for women, mentoring and training. What’s more, the airport welcomed 70 girls from local schools on International Women in Engineering Day in 2025. In France, MESEA gave 21 girls from Alfred Rondeau middle school in Mansle-les-Fontaines, in the Charente department, an insight into careers in the railway sector as part of the Elles bougent programme.

Sharing the stories of trailblazing and inspiring women, past and present
Every year, campaigns highlight the essential contribution of women in the mobility sector. Created with International Women’s Day in mind, a multi-week campaign spanning several countries, including France, invited passengers and users of VINCI Concessions’ infrastructure to discover the stories of inspiring female employees. An innovative digital experience also enabled members of the public to interact, via generative AI, with women who blazed a trail in the mobility sector, such as Bessie Coleman, the first African American and Native American woman to earn a pilot’s licence, and Alice Recoque, an artificial intelligence engineer. In Colombia, Vía Sumapaz has used its podcast series “Con Ellas en la Vía” (With them on the road) to highlight the important contributions women make every day.
