Circular Economy
Recycling, optimising, reusing, etc.
We are stepping up recycling of construction materials (Granulat+) and offer cost-effective digital solutions, such as Waste Marketplace and R.Used, that can help to optimise the management of worksite waste and the reuse of materials and equipment, or La Ressourcerie du BTP, a platform that lists materials available for reuse that have been collected from deconstruction sites. We are also rolling out advanced techniques for in-situ recycling of road surfaces during road repair work.
Reducing our direct impacts
Acting on every level
Our main goal, through acting for the climate, optimising resources and preserving natural environments, is to reduce our direct footprint. Our initiatives to do so (such as renewing the fleet of worksite equipment and vehicles, transforming road asphalt plants, promoting backhaul to and from worksites to avoid empty running) go hand in hand with the development of low-carbon-impact materials (Exegy® solutions, timber-frame buildings, etc.), solutions aimed at scaling up energy-efficiency upgrades (Rehaskeen® facades) or construction techniques that use reduced quantities of materials (post-tensioned floor slabs and Terre Armée® structures, for example).
Natural environments
Protecting biodiversity
VINCI Construction brings together a wide range of expertise in ecological engineering, mainly under the Equo Vivo brand, and works closely with nature conservation organisations and institutions in order to protect biodiversity around its quarries and on its worksites.
2022 marked the 10th year of VINCI Construction’s national partnership with PatriNat, which brings together France’s Natural History Museum, the National Centre for Scientific Research and the French Biodiversity Agency.
