CREATING VALUE OVER THE LONG TERM AND SHARING IT WITH STAKEHOLDERS

A stable shareholder base guaranteeing a long-term vision. Solid financial structure: 1. Group development and value sharing, 2. Recurring free cash flow generation and 3. Businesses driving long-term growth and diversification of activities

The Group’s business segments drive growth over the long term because they all meet day-to-day needs. The Bouygues group, through its CEO and Deputy CEOs, has defined a strategic framework through which the business segments roll out their operational and financial strategies, which focus on achieving growth, improving performance and boosting cash flow generation. The diversity of its business segments cushions the Group as a whole against fluctuating business cycles, serving as a driver of long-term growth. This strategy is underpinned by the stability of Bouygues’ ownership structure, which secures a long-term vision, and by its robust financial structure, which allows the Group to maintain its operational independence. The value created across the Group can therefore be shared with its stakeholders, including its employees, customers and shareholders.
