Assessment of environmental risks
Each VINCI entity has
implemented and maintains an environmental incident prevention plan as
a function of the risks to be prevented. Through the Group's
inter-entity clubs and committees, "environment" managers exchange best
practices and experience feedback to help minimize residual risks. In
2008, there were seven environment incidents identified and considered
as major, that is, having created extensive pollution requiring the
intervention of an external expert and the consequences of which extend
beyond the entity's perimeter, involving VINCI or its subcontractors,
of which four were outside continental France.
The following were recorded: two pipes broken during earthworks; three oil leaks, one at a customer's worksite, one at sea and one on a beach; toxic product discharge in Rivière des Pluies in Reunion, and a sand and dust leak caused by a crack in a dredging pipeline.
