Carbon strategy and eco-design

The Bouygues group has introduced a strategy of differentiating its products and services by offering customers low-carbon ecovariants. To do so, it uses its proprietary software packages, CarbonEco^® (construction) and EcologicieL^® (roads), to conduct carbon balances while projects are still in their early stages. 330 carbon balances were carried out with CarbonEco^® in 2009.

Business areas also use other tools to perform carbon balances which, by assessing the overall environmental impact of their activities, enable them to cut the cost of their vehicle fleets, buildings and IT resources.
