A RESPONSIBLE GROUP / ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Environmental indicators Environmental reporting scope 140 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). 2005 environmental reporting Scope % of revenue VINCI World 49.8% VINCI Construction World 27% of which GTM Construction France 100% VINCI Construction Grands Projets World 100% Eurovia France 57% VINCI Concessions France 47% of which Cofi route France 100% Stade de France France 100% EFS (VINCI Airports) France 100% VINCI Energies World 95%
