Bouygues Construction
Bouygues Construction is one of the world's leading construction companies in the building, civil works, electrical contracting, and maintenance sectors. Organised as seven complementary entities, it has proven expertise in financing, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating buildings and structures, offering its customers a vast range of innovative solutions. With 54,000 employees throughout the world, the Bouygues Group generated sales of 9.8 billion euros in 2011. In all its businesses in France and abroad (building, civil works, energy and services), Bouygues increasingly operates within the framework of end-to-end contracts (public-private partnerships or concessions), which allow it to deliver high added value. Sustainable construction is a strategic priority for all the Bouygues Group’s entities, which offer customers solutions to improve the environmental performance of buildings and structures throughout their entire life cycle. This approach is gradually broadening out to the scale of the neighbourhood or the city, taking account of personal travel, water and waste management, energy and services. Bouygues has developed high-level expertise in public-private partnerships and concessions, both in France and elsewhere, and especially in the healthcare sector. These projects enable Bouygues to offer its customers the full range of its skills. In the property development segment, it can draw on a network of specialist firms in France (Sodéarif and Cirmad) and around Europe and on specific investment funds, especially for low-energy and high environmental quality buildings. In May 2011, the Bouygues Group created the R&D and Innovation Department to define crosscompany research subjects, to strengthen the innovation culture, and to capitalise on knowledge between entities. It chooses the priority topics and determines the responsible parties, the budgets, deliverables and the timetable.
