Sustainable development is the “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs.”
Our Common Future, a report issued in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development chaired by Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland.
Sustainable development
Our approach
Our approach to sustainable development at VINCI Construction Grands Projets is built on the concepts of Quality, Safety, and Environmental protection and is based on fundamental principles:
Define the organization and interfaces, identify risks, take care over every detail of the operations planning, and put in place the means to achieve objectives right from the start.
Define operational rules and guidelines for internal teams and external participants, define objectives, and foster dialogue.
Train and support our employees and subcontractors to promote adherence to rules and guidelines.
Observe, monitor, analyze, and listen. Use feedback to enhance practices.
Evaluate results in light of the objectives. Encourage positive initiatives. Call into question the effectiveness of our practices.
A management system for each and every project
A specific management system is designed for each project during the preliminary phase of worksite planning that takes into account:
• Contractual obligations
• Legal and regulatory dispositions in the host country
• The nature of the work and risks associated with the project
• Constraints associated with the environment (human and natural)
• Special materials and equipment.
VINCI signed the Global Compact
In 2003, VINCI signed the Global Compact launched by the United Nations, thereby stating our commitment to respecting and promoting the 10 principles relating to human rights, labour standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption. VINCI Construction Grands Projets actively defends these principles through numerous initiatives.
