Our approach
Coordination of the approach
General coordination of
the approach has been entrusted to the Delegation for Sustainable
Development, an extremely streamlined structure which reports to the
Executive Committee and works in close collaboration with the
departments concerned: human resources, purchasing coordination, the
VINCI Foundation and communication.
Risk analyses are regularly reviewed by members of the Sustainable Development Committee, a body composed of 25 members representing all areas of the Group's activities. All new risks identified are analysed and closely monitored by specialised working groups.
In 2008, the social review focused in particular on ethical alert mechanisms and the prevention of risks relating to health/the environment. The environmental review opened the way to improving the prevention of risks relating to chemical substances/Reach (registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals) and biodiversity. It also considered eco-driving and the drawing up of a set of guidelines specifically for eco-neighbourhoods. In addition, the CO2 Pivot Club, which rallies the operations managers of the different business lines around the themes of "finance", "carbon economy" and "energy management," has considerably increased its demands as regards the level of relevance and coverage of environmental indicators. The VINCI approach on sustainable development is expressed in a series of priority commitments that involve all its subsidiaries and all employees.
