VINCI 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
for the environment. These sites are the
subject of permanent monitoring and
internal inspections carried out by Eurovia’s
quality, safety and environment department
(QSE). The programme launched seven years
ago to upgrade coating plants is now
producing results. Inspections are carried out
regularly at these sites to ensure they
continue to comply with regulations. The
risks identifi ed in connection with quarries
concern noise, vibration and dust emissions.
External audits are carried out every year by
certifi ed bodies. Dust emissions, which are
checked in compliance with standards
defi ned by an external body, are reported
once a year to the regional department for
industry, research and the environment
(DRIRE). Because these risks are limited, no
special system has been set up to monitor the
costs and investments connected with their
management. However, all identifi ed risks are
analysed on a case-by-case basis and
provisions are allocated if appropriate.
On 31 December 2005, provisions allocated
by Eurovia, where most of the industrial and
environmental risks are concentrated,
amounted to €7 million.
TECHNOLOGICAL RISKS
As VINCI has no facilities classifi ed under
clause IV of article L. 515-8 of the French
Environmental Code, its subsidiaries are no
longer directly concerned by technological
risks. They can, however, be indirectly
exposed to such risks in the following cases:
– some VINCI business activities may be
carried out occasionally or on a long-term
basis near facilities classifi ed as presenting
technological risks. The companies involved
must then comply with current legislation:
in particular, they may not initiate any
activities that could lead to an increase in
the number of employees working close to
the classifi ed site;
– some of VINCI Energies’ business units may
be called upon to work inside classifi ed
facilities where the operations rules oblige
them to take all the necessary safety steps,
especially those concerning employee
evacuation.
Environmental reporting is carried out once a year in accordance with formalised procedure manuals. More than 200 VINCI employees
are involved in the reporting activity. In line with the master plan established in 2003, the reporting mechanism has been extended to cover
the performance of VINCI Energies’ business units. Change can be measured by division or by type of business based on the verifi ed data.
Environmental reporting in 2005 covered 49.8% of total revenue (compared with 34.4% in 2004).
