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.
