VINCI reports comprehensive Scope 1 & 2 emissions with GHG Protocol methodology and SBTi-validated targets, but absolute Scope 3 emissions rose to 50.2Mt in 2024. Market-based emissions climbed 10% year-on-year despite efficiency claims. Water consumption remains quantified gap. The company's decentralized structure across 120+ countries complicates verification and execution.
VINCI scores 29/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places VINCI joint 634th of 847 companies scored, and joint 23rd of 26 in Construction / Real Estate.
