€71.6 BILLION REVENUE
VINCI’s 2024 financial statements show an increase in revenue and record earnings, despite the negative impact of the new tax on French motorway operators. In addition, free cash flow generation was very strong.
Consolidated revenue rose by 4.0% to €71.6 billion.
Consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent was €4.9 billion. In France (42% of the total), revenue was €30.2 billion, up 2.0%.
Outside France (58% of the total), revenue came to €41.4 billion, up 5.6%.
Free cash flow hit a record €6.8 billion.
21% reduction in direct CO2 emissions from 2018
VINCI is aware of the responsibility it bears, due to the nature of its business activities, but also recognises its ability to contribute positively to the environmental transition. That is why in 2020 the Group recast its 2030 environmental ambition, with a twofold objective: significantly reduce the direct impact of its activities and contribute to improving the footprint of its customers, users, suppliers and partners through the development of shared solutions. This ambition is cascaded into three areas: act for the climate, optimise resources thanks to the circular economy and preserve natural environments.
The Group’s target for 2030, validated by the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative), is to reduce its Scopes 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 40% relative to 2018 and its Scope 3 emissions by 20% relative to 2019.
At 31 December 2024, VINCI's direct greenhouse gas emissions were 21% lower than in 2018.
In 2024, the Group continued to deploy its environmental strategy, based around its three priority areas:
- climate change
- For VINCI Autoroutes, 100% of its service areas are now equipped with EV charging points.
- For VINCI Airports, four of the network’s airports (Toulon Hyères in France and Funchal, Beja and Ponta Delgada in Portugal) received Level 5 certification under the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, having successfully achieved net zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
- For VINCI Energies and Cobra IS, electricity transmission and distribution activities and renewable energy generation activities (solar and wind) have represented over €5.7 billion in revenue in 2024 for the year aligned with the EU Taxonomy.
- The circular economy. VINCI Construction produced 16 million tonnes of recycled aggregates in 2024, nearing its target of 20 million tonnes in 2030.
- The preservation of natural habitats. VINCI Immobilier continued to pursue its “zero net loss of natural land” target for 2030, with only 15% new land take of its projects in 2024.
+8,000 YOUNG PEOPLE ON WORK-BASED TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN 2024
VINCI seeks to help the long-term unemployed, in particular through its ViE social enterprise. This structure manages almost 1.3 million integration hours annually in France, i.e. half the total number of hours provided in the Group.
VINCI continued to roll out a vast programme launched in 2018 in France focused on the guidance and employability of young people from priority neighbourhoods identified under city policy. Called Give Me Five, the initiative targets five areas of action: guidance, individual support, integration, employability and learning. Under the programme’s guidance area of action, VINCI hosts middle school students each year in two specific areas of France’s priority education network for guidance and learning about Group businesses either in schools or VINCI sites throughout France (over 8,000 in the 2023-2024 school year). And over 8,000 young people joined the Group on work-based training programmes.
The Group is also committed to promoting gender diversity, especially in management. The percentage of women in management positions was 23.6% in 2024 (26.3% in France). The Group has set a goal to increase both the percentage of women in management positions and the percentage of women members on the Group’s management committees to 30% by 2030.
74% OF GROUP COMPANIES WITH NO LOST-TIME WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS
The zero accident objective for all people working on its construction and operation sites remains the Group’s number-one priority.
This approach applies to all individuals – employees, temporary staff and subcontractors – working on a VINCI construction or operating site, as well as customers of managed infrastructure.
The Group’s health and safety policy is overarching and aims to anticipate and prevent all occupational risks and psychosocial risks.
100,000 EMPLOYEES WERE TRAINED IN THE PREVENTION AND DETECTION OF ACTS OF CORRUPTION DURING THE YEAR
VINCI has adopted a rigorous framework so that all its employees can contribute effectively to the Group’s integrity and transparency requirements.
The Code of Ethics and Conduct lays down all the principles of business ethics that apply in all circumstances, in all countries where the Group operates, and to all companies and their employees.
It is used in tandem with the Anti-corruption Code of Conduct, which details the rules concerning the prevention of all acts of corruption, notably identifying risks in business processes and defining conduct to be avoided.
The integrity and transparency requirement does not just apply to Group companies and employees, but also to its partners and subcontractors. In addition to their technical expertise and ability to fulfil their duties, subcontractors are also assessed for their commitment to complying with human rights and business ethics, and their commitment to VINCI’s values.
The online whistleblowing platform called VINCI Integrity is available in five languages on the Group intranet and website. In addition to the systems specific to each entity, it enables employees and all other stakeholders to report any inappropriate behaviour in the areas of human rights, business ethics, environmental risks, and health and safety. It guarantees full traceability and anonymity of all discussions, and the protection of whistleblowers.
Interview with
the chairman and CEO
All the elements in our model work together to make us more resilient to short-term uncertainties, and more effective at seizing the immense opportunities arising for our business lines, now and in the future.Discover
How would you sum up VINCI’s performance in 2024?
We confirmed, once again, that we can chart our course to virtuous growth. We increased our revenue and earnings despite a generally less favourable economic environment than in 2023 and the new tax on long-distance transport infrastructure operators in France, which added a €284 million charge. Very significantly, our free cash flow hit a new all-time high, giving us extra leeway to push ahead with our development. These solid results stem from our model, which we have strengthened year after year. All the elements in our model work together to make us more resilient to short-term uncertainties, and more effective at seizing the immense opportunities arising for our business lines, now and in the future.
Precisely: what is keeping you resilient amid the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties today?
Firstly, our decentralised model. It is designed to empower our teams to take initiative on the ground. Now that agility is becoming a cardinal value everywhere, we see just how modern our model truly is. At its core, VINCI consists of more than 4,200 autonomous business units operating in their respective markets and geographies, while sharing the strong culture that unites us as a group and the sound management practices that sustain it. And this is reflected in our steady results year after year. Another – equally essential – factor is the variety of business lines and geographies we operate in. Our three main businesses – Concessions, Energy and Construction – are active in a constantly growing number of fields of expertise, contracts, regions and countries. Our international expansion is the most visible sign of this: we generate nearly 60% of our revenue outside France today, up from about 40% only a decade ago, and now make most of our net income outside France. We are now a significant player in 10 or so European countries as well as in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
Our three main businesses are active in a constantly growing number of fields of expertise, contracts, regions and countries
How do you see the situation evolving in 2025 and beyond?
The factors underpinning our resilience, which I mentioned earlier, will enable us to stay on course in a geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape where uncertainty is becoming the norm. Our concessions will be sustained by strong demand for mobility worldwide. Our Energy order book is at its highest ever, so we expect this business to grow again in 2025. And the situation at VINCI Construction will vary from country to country but its order book is also very full, so we expect its revenue to remain close to its 2024 level – while focusing principally on improving its operating margin. So we are well equipped to continue delivering robust results and our sound financials put us in a position to move forward with our development strategy in good conditions. Looking further down the road, the environmental transition is a powerful and sustainable lever to develop all our business lines. We have always stated that our aim is to be a force for good through what we do as well as how we do it. That is part of our long-term perspective and vision of all-round performance as we tackle this existential issue for our planet and our companies head-on. We embrace it as a fantastic opportunity to create even more value by re-engineering our materials, methods, products, services and solutions to address environmental concerns. It is an opportunity to make our collective endeavour even more meaningful, in a world where our skills are more useful and playing a more powerful role in driving progress than ever before.
You will hand over your duties as VINCI’s CEO to Pierre Anjolras in spring 2025 while remaining Chairman of the Board of Directors. How are you handling this transition?
Continuity is one of VINCI’s hallmarks – and that applies to its management, strategy and culture. Pierre Anjolras is the perfect personification of our Group. He has spent most of his career with us and shown outstanding managerial flair. We have taken our time to prepare this transition since his appointment as Chief Operating Officer in May 2024. I have every confidence in his ability to lead the Group through the exciting challenges ahead, and I will stand by, placing my experience at the service of the Board of Directors. VINCI has a bright future, and I have no doubt that the coming years will confirm it!

The Group’s strategy is to adapt and hone this robust model as it continues to develop across its three businesses: Concessions, Energy and Construction. VINCI’s priority is to actively engage in the energy and environmental transition, by harnessing its innovation capacity to achieve responsible, sustainable growth.
As it has diversified its areas of expertise, so has VINCI entered more and more international markets.
In 2024, the Group generated 58% of its revenue outside France, compared to 37% a decade earlier.
In addition to a broad range of businesses and markets, VINCI gains its resilience from its management approach. The Group’s highly decentralised organisation and supportive management culture gives its companies and people tremendous agility in adapting to changes and unpredictability in their environment.
Drawing on these solid and shared fundamentals, VINCI will continue to implement its long-term strategy and to develop its three core businesses. In this context of climate emergency, the environment is VINCI’s strategic priority. The Group is tackling this issue by playing an active role in the transition of the built environment, infrastructure and mobility.
VINCI welcomes the energy and environmental transition as a powerful driver for adding new expertise and solutions while supporting its business activities’ long-term growth. The Group’s policy of innovation is building opportunities in this transformation. As novel solutions and services emerge that create environmental value, promising activities open up for the Group’s business lines.
