Innovative projects to fast-track environment-driven growth!
The health crisis and its economic ripple effects have faced everyone who designs, builds and operates infrastructure in cities and regions with a challenge. Today as yesterday, VINCI companies have a duty to keep their people healthy and safe –their worksite crews as well as the people on the “second-line”, meaning the ones making sure that the vital infrastructure we are operating under concessions runs smoothly. And to make it possible to make up for restricted activity at many worksites and infrastructure in recent months,we must lead a productivity revolution together.
It’s time to start rebuilding. The reluctance to return to the way things were is spreading and we are determined to harness this crisis to speed up environmental transition in our activities. We are aiming to lower our direct greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 2018 to 2030, and will need to be creative and demanding to do so. This is why Leonard will be determined to select startups able to support environment-driven growth and therefore the common ambition of the VINCI group.
