RUEIL MALMAISON, France--(Business Wire)--
Regulatory News: 

VINCI (Paris:DG) is the first concession-construction group to be awarded the
Diversity Label by AFNOR Certification. This label bears witness to VINCI`s
commitment to the prevention of discrimination and promotion of equality and
diversity within the framework of its human resource management. The award of
the Diversity Label is the result of the proactive approach adopted by VINCI and
its subsidiaries to undergo an independent, external audit. This approach will
now be extended for a further 18 months, which makes this certification part of
VINCI`s continuous improvement programme on equal opportunities. 

The Diversity Label was awarded to VINCI SA and subsidiaries that were
specifically audited by AFNOR Certification: ASF and Cofiroute (VINCI
Concessions), Citéos Ile-de-France (VINCI Energies), Eurovia (Tours and Lorient
divisions), and EMCC and GTM Bâtiment (VINCI Construction). 

The Diversity Label is also a result of the VINCI Manifesto, signed by Xavier
Huillard in 2006, which contained the commitment to promoting diversity and
equality throughout the Group. 

"We are very proud to have received the Diversity Label. It is recognition of
our efforts in favour of equal opportunities and diversity. This recognition is
a positive factor in the eyes of those stakeholders for whom our diversity and
equality policy is important: shareholders, clients, partners, and past and
future employees. We also see it as encouragement to persevere along that path
for many years to come," said Xavier Huillard, Director and CEO of VINCI.
