Sponsorship by Bouygues SA

For nearly 20 years, the Bouygues group has contributed to the economic and social development of the regions and countries where it operates through economic, solidarity and sponsorship initiatives.

In 2001, Martin Bouygues wished that the sponsorship policy of Bouygues SA, the parent company of the Bouygues group, be clarified and brought within a tighter framework. Sponsorship is focused on education, medical research and social initiatives.

The Bouygues Board of Directors set up an Ethics and Sponsorship Committee made up of two board members and chaired by Lucien Douroux, formerly Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Crédit Agricole Indosuez. The committee meets several times a year to review sponsorship requests and to give its opinion.

The Bouygues group foundations

Each subsidiary of the Bouygues group has created its own foundation.

Created in 2008, Bouygues Construction’s corporate foundation, Terre Plurielle, seeks to provide financial support for projects sponsored by its employees to favour access to healthcare, education and the integration of people in difficulty, both in France and abroad.

The Bouygues Immobilier Corporate Foundation, created in 2009, helps make the urban environment more human by placing architecture and planning at the service of the environment and the community.

Created in 1990, the Colas Foundation seeks to promote contemporary painting. Each year, the foundation commissions road-themed work from some 15 artists selected from all over the world. The collection currently comprises more than 300 paintings.

In April 2010, Colas signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with the public organisation managing the Château de Versailles (Établissement public du musée et du domaine national de Versailles) to rehabilitate the pathways in the château’s park.

The TF1 Corporate Foundation promotes professional integration in the audiovisual industry among young people from sensitive areas.

The Bouygues Telecom Corporate Foundation supports or manages projects aimed at informing and forging links. The foundation operates in environmental protection, support for people in medical or social difficulty and promotion of the French language. The foundation’s innovative scheme lets employees take time of work to support good citizenship initiatives.
