A RESPONSIBLE GROUP / ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
To meet the challenges of climate change,
they advise and support customers in their
efforts to reduce energy consumption.
Eurovia designs roads, produces road
building materials (aggregates, binders,
asphalt mixes and recycled materials),
and enhances living conditions. Its
environmental policy is focused on three
complementary objectives: to develop and
apply increasingly environment-friendly
techniques, to control the environmental
impact of its activities, and to promote
the aims of sustainable development and
the use of best environmental practices by
all employees.
In the fi eld of concessions, where the
VINCI operates long-term contracts,
Cofi route, VINCI Park, and the airport
services companies continued their
research programmes on transport and
sustainable travel. A partner in the European
Mobility Week initiative, VINCI Park distributed
the “Clever commuting” guide in all
its French car parks. The guide advocates an
urban area approach that combines public
transport, alternative modes of travel (such
as cycling and walking) and private cars.

requirements, gather intelligence on
regulations, and enhance employee skills
and the overall quality of its work through a
process of continuous improvement. Against
this background, the Group stepped up its
efforts to provide environmental training
(42,718 hours of training provided in 2005
compared with 12,700 in 2004) and raise
the awareness of its operations teams, notably
by organising 15-minute “environment”
sessions every week, similar to the
15-minute “safety” sessions already in place.
VINCI subsidiaries continued their efforts to
secure certifi cation and develop environmental
management systems. Within VINCI
Construction, for example, 54.7% of GTM
Construction’s revenue was ISO 14001
certifi ed, 18% of Sogea Construction’s and
100% of VINCI Construction Grands Projets’
at the end of 2005.
Preserving natural
resources
MATERIALS RECYCLING
One of the strategic priorities for VINCI’s
subsidiaries is to recycle and reuse materials
in order to preserve natural resources.
In 2005, Eurovia recycled 6.6 million
tonnes of materials. The company continued
to optimise its industrial facilities: DLB, MEL
and SPL, its three Paris Region subsidiaries
specialising in recycling bottom ash from
household waste incineration and crushed
concrete, obtained CE 2+ certifi cation for
their aggregate.
In addition, two of Eurovia’s subsidiaries
were awarded distinctions by the jury in
