Several companies, notably motorway operators, carried out a more broadly based CO2 audit (Scope 3, including indirect emissions and those generated by customers).

These initiatives to quantify greenhouse gas emissions, combined with emission containment measures, were favourably perceived by investors. In 2008, VINCI confirmed its lead position in the area of climate strategy by obtaining the highest score in the "construction and public works" group under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Performed on behalf of 385 investors in the companies listed in the SBF 120 (the top 120 French stock market capitalisations), CDP assesses the response by large companies to climate change issues.
