Developing social dialogue<br />

In 2009, 1,650 equality and diversity<br />

agreements were signed. In total, 73% of<br />

<strong>VINCI</strong> companies are covered by collective<br />

agreements. More than 6,300 employees<br />

have been elected by their peers to<br />

represent them.<br />

Civic engagement<br />

Encouraging employee involvement<br />

in solidarity projects<br />

In line with our humanist convictions<br />

and solidarity values, we support<br />

projects that create social links and<br />

help the unemployed find work.<br />

These initiatives, are led mainly by the<br />

<strong>VINCI</strong> Foundation for the Community,<br />

which provides a combination of<br />

financial support and skills-based<br />

sponsorship. In 2009, 120 projects<br />

supported by 192 employees were<br />

backed by Foundation subsidies<br />

totalling €2 million. Structures similar<br />

to the <strong>VINCI</strong> Foundation in France<br />

have been created in the Czech<br />

Republic (seven projects supported)<br />

and Germany (13). In Africa, too,<br />

Sogea-Satom’s Initiatives for Africa<br />

programme (ISSA) encourages<br />

employee participation in solidarity<br />

projects for the benefit of local people<br />

in regions where the subsidiary’s<br />

offices are working on projects.<br />

Since its creation in 2007, ISSA has<br />

supported 35 projects in 16 countries.<br />

The <strong>VINCI</strong> Foundation for the Community supports projects that create social<br />

links and help the unemployed find work.<br />

Heritage preservation<br />

Group companies continued their policy of showcasing<br />

archaeological and palaeontological finds made on their<br />

worksites, particularly on motorway projects. Numerous<br />

dinosaur fossils have been exhumed in recent years, for<br />

example, in the course of the works to widen the A8 in<br />

Provence.<br />
