The Group regards sustainable development as a source of opportunities and views the new regulatory requirements, mainly introduced as part of the Grenelle laws in France, as a source of growth.
Sustainable development has been integrated into the Group's strategy and that of all its subsidiaries in the form of annual roadmaps incorporating measurable targets. The issues vary from one business to another and policies have to be adapted accordingly. The Group Sustainable Development Department, attached to the parent company and headed by deputy CEO Olivier Bouygues, oversees groupwide projects and ensures that the Group continues to move forward, especially by sharing best practices.
In 2009, certain cross-cutting issues involved several business areas, or in some cases the Group as a whole, such as:
- carbon strategy,
- responsible purchasing,
- sustainable construction,
- Human Resources (HR) and Quality Safety Environment (QSE) policy,
- employee share ownership,
- communication.
