“Trust is an indispensible element, on both the inside and outside of our organisation."

In a versatile network organisation like VINCI Energies, there is an awful lot of cooperation. Inside, outside and between the business units of our network brands Axians, Actemium, Omexom and local brands. With that cooperation, teams in varying compositions are able to achieve the most wide-ranging solutions for our clients who want to deal with the complex challenges of the energy transition and digital transformation.  Good cooperation for a client only works when you have good mutual working relationships.

Trust is the absolute prerequisite. Trust is the foundation of all relationships and prevails over control. Transparency is an inseparable part. Trust and transparency together form a fundamental value for the optimum operation of our network.

“Trust is an indispensible element, on both the inside and outside of our organisation.”


Annet Brookman Executive Assistant at VINCI Energies

 “I only see the board members I assist for a few hours a week. I do a lot for them, even when they are on the road. They can rely on that. That only works efficiently if they give me their trust and are transparent about what is playing out. When you have that trust, you can take and use responsibility. It works like that in the entire organisation.”

 “Without mutual trust, our network organisation would not work the way it does. People are given that trust immediately when they start to work for us at any level. In my job, trust and transparency are also essential elements. Not just when I work with and for colleagues, but also with external partners. This value facilitates good and long-lasting cooperation.”
