Making the environmental transition a success

Working closely with the local authorities, VINCI Airports has set all the airports in its network on a path of environmental transition, the first effects of which are already visible.

Our objectives

VINCI Airports today reaffirms its desire to become the environmental benchmark in the airport sector by announcing new commitments. In 2018, a target for decarbonization of its emissions (scopes 1&2) was set at -50% for 2030. With 7 years ahead of schedule and traffic returning to its pre-pandemic level, this target was achieved in 2023. A new target was set for 2030: reduce CO2 emissions by 2/3 between 2018 and 2030 (scopes 1&2). VINCI Airports and its network transform, invest and innovate for air mobility. Discover some examples of the actions deployed in our infrastructures.

    • 0
      net emission by 2030 in the European Union, London Gatwick and Edinburgh airports and by 2050 worldwide (scopes 1&2)
    • 2025
      end of phytosanitary product use
    • 0
      waste to landfill by 2030

Our action plan

All the airports in our network are committed to an ambitious and concrete environmental transition path, and we involve the entire airport ecosystem in this approach, working with partners on a local and international scale. Our environmental plan is built around three priorities:

  • Act for the climate

    We are committed to act for the climate around three priorities to decarbonize the entire mobility chain: leading the way in reducing our direct emissions through energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energies; look beyond our own activities and help our stakeholders (airlines, passengers and others) reduce their carbon footprint; supporting regions in their energy transition.

  • Optimize resources
    through the circular economy

    Our aim is to minimise the carbon footprint of our operations by limiting the volume of raw materials extracted and more routinely reusing and recycling materials.

  • Preserve biodiversity
    and natural environments

    We are aware of the importance and fragility of natural ecosystems, and we take action to preserve them by actively protecting biodiversity and responsibly managing water consumption.
