The Bouygues group's growth is rooted in a strong culture that has always put people first.

It is built on founding principles like teamwork, a sense of responsibility and respect.

The Minorange Guild embodies these convictions.

Created by Francis Bouygues in 1963 to recognise achievement in the construction trades, it has 1,105 members in 17 orders as at 1 January 2011. On-site, guild workers promote the values of compliance with safety rules and best practice, work well done, fraternity and loyalty to the company. At Colas, the Compagnons de la Route guild is based on the same values.
