Our approach
Global Compact
VINCI signed the UN's Global Compact in 2003. Participation has led to
concrete actions being taken, as featured on the United Nations
website. VINCI's backing of the ten principles of the Global Compact is
also the subject of an in-house document entitled "statement on
progress" (see below). Overall, it contributes to implementation of
programmes and projects within a familiar, reliable and neutral
framework.pating in July in the UN’s Global Compact summit in Geneva.
