Bouygues construction

Develop low-carbon buildings and infrastructure

Bouygues Construction has unrivalled expertise in developing the critical infrastructure on which society depends – from low-carbon and renewable energy power generation systems (nuclear, offshore wind and solar), to public and electro-mobility transport networks, urban renewal and regeneration projects, and sustainable residential, commercial and industrial buildings. With close to 60% of its sales generated outside France, Bouygues Construction is aiming to expand its footprint into new developed, high-potential markets.

Building differently

In its drive to “build without destroying”, it is rolling out eco-design through the use of bio-based materials, embracing timber construction through the WeWood initiative, conducting R&D into low-carbon concrete, recycling and reusing materials through the dedicated Cynéo platform, and taking steps to dramatically reduce worksite waste and increase energy efficiency. This also means ramping up the renovation and conversion of existing buildings, such as through BYSprong, a solution for large-scale energy renovation of housing. And in keeping with its “building differently” philosophy, Bouygues Construction is shifting to mass-scale, digital technology-powered production methods with a focus on optimising design, using prefabricated structures and building outside normal cycles.

Continue putting people first

Bouygues Construction wants to preserve its precious resource while transforming its corporate and managerial culture and preparing its people for the challenges that lie ahead. Trust, simplicity, teamwork and pioneering spirit are the four core values that underpin this strategy.

Two guiding principles: health & safety and ethics

The health and safety of its employees is an absolute priority for Bouygues Construction, reflected in a single global standard: the “zero accident” objective. This aim is expressed in several initiatives, such as workforce training, continuous improvement of construction methods, anti-addiction campaigns and more stringent on-site controls. 

Major projects

The world is changing, and each day the people at Bouygues Construction show their responsibility and commitment as they help to transform it.

Bouygues Construction offers a comprehensive vision of regional and urban transformation, backed up by a collaborative approach to planning and development.

As well as being scalable and connected, the projects and neighbourhoods that Bouygues Construction designs and builds are becoming service-centred and environmentally responsible, like Îlot Fertile, the first zero-carbon district in Paris, or reversible and flexible, like the Work#1 building in Lyon.

And because a sustainable environment is the result of synergies between its buildings and the flows of energy and services that give them life, Bouygues Construction also builds and connects the passenger, goods and data transport infrastructure they need to ensure their economic development and make them attractive.

In the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility, Bouygues Construction’s corporate foundation Terre Plurielle has been involved for 13 years in initiatives to promote education, employment and healthcare as well as opportunities for disadvantaged and disabled people. Through the dedication of the employees who sponsor the chosen projects, the foundation operates at grassroots level in France and in over 35 other countries where Bouygues Construction has operations, ensuring a granular understanding of local partners’ needs and regular monitoring of projects. Terre Plurielle is thus the living embodiment of the Bouygues Construction group’s commitment to society and strong sense of community all over the world.
