The "Grenelle Environnement" is a conference bringing together for the first time the French government and representatives of civil society in order to draw up a roadmap for ecology and sustainable planning and development.

It will result in a plan of action in late October with 15 to 20 concrete, quantifiable measures agreed by the largest possible number of participants.

Within the framework of preparatory meetings for the "Grenelle Environnement", the Bouygues group's subsidiaries have launched a series of far-reaching actions to improve their environmental performance:

All of Bouygues Immobilier's residential programmes will obtain High Energy Performance (HPE) certification.

Bouygues Immobilier has started to develop a sustainable district in Bordeaux: Les Berges du Lac.

Bouygues Immobilier has launched the Green Office development, the first positive-energy office building in the Paris region, located in Meudon.

Starting in 2008, Colas plans to systematically roll out its "EcoLogiciel" software whenever it is possible to tender for a project with alternative technical solutions.  The software is designed to show clients the impact of the road materials they have chosen on greenhouse gas emissions.
