Five basic values that are adhered to every day
The corporate identity is characterised by trust, responsibility, solidarity, autonomy and entrepreneurial mindset, prioritising people over systems, and appreciation for both individual initiative and collective work.
- Trust:
Trust is at the heart of our working relationship and is deeply nurtured by proximity, enabling everyone to demonstrate their talent. Trust is given, earned, and rewarded so that everyone can work together. Trust is based on transparency and does not exclude control. - Autonomy:
Autonomy is granted to our business units with the ability for people to make their own decisions, within a defined framework. Autonomy embraces the concept that each situation is specific, and we believe in human intelligence. We also aim at empowering each and every employee to develop their talents and potential. Autonomy is not independence; it also encompasses communication and transparency. - Responsibility:
We empower and give responsibility to everyone, no matter their level within the organisation. We are convinced of the ability of our employees to work responsibly and to assume this responsibility. It is key to our success. - Entrepreneurial mindset:
We empower and acknowledge everybody’s ability to take initiatives, weigh up risks and seize chances, envision and achieve success. We value the ability to make decisions and to deliver. Being able to say “no”, being careful and selective is also part of the entrepreneurial mindset. We acknowledge the right to make mistakes. - Solidarity:
We demonstrate solidarity within VINCI Energies by working as part of a network to share knowledge, activities, and resources for greater innovation and better performance and responsiveness. We work as a network, and we value people who are willing to give and share. Employees and business units also show solidarity by getting involved in civil society and local communities. Our solidarity is shown in good and bad times.
VINCI Foundation
VINCI is conscious of its special social responsibility as the world’s leading construction and concession company. Together with its numerous employees, VINCI plans, finances, builds and operates facilities and infrastructural measures, such as schools, hospitals, apartments, offices, roads, bridges, airports, telecommunication networks, power grids, motorways and car parks. VINCI is confident that the long-term financial success of the company has to go hand in hand with credible and ambitious social commitment. As a result, the “VINCI Foundation” was established in 2002 and has since set itself the goal of supporting long-term projects aimed at integrating socially marginalised people into working life.
The Coeur initiative
One in every hundred children worldwide is born with a heart defect. Heart surgery is often the only way to save them. In many countries, however, there is a lack of equipment, suitably qualified surgeons and financial resources to perform the life-saving operations. The charity Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque is fighting to help children in these countries. VINCI Energies supports Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque’s Coeur initiative.
One Tree – One Life
Every tree signifies life – One Tree, One Life
Rainforests produce oxygen for our planet and play an important part in regulating the climate as well as providing a habitat. Around 1.3 million hectares of rainforest are destroyed in Borneo every year which is one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. As a result, the natural habitat of the orangutans and other endangered species that are found here is being destroyed more and more each day. These primates are now classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and are a protected species. Unfortunately, this protection does not apply to their habitat. For each Cloud user we are making a donation to the ‘One Tree, One Life’ reforestation campaign run by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Association in Switzerland (BOS Schweiz).
