The fundamentals of our culture

Respect

the group’S paramount value

The Group’s most important resource is its people.

Their dedication is the source of our success. At Bouygues, respecting the environment, others, oneself, healthy working conditions and the physical well-being of our people holds just as much importance as performance. Respect is paramount to living and working together harmoniously. It nurtures motivation and fosters pride in being part of the Group. Respect drives performance and motivates our people to work responsibly for the benefit of our customers. The Group’s managers play a key role in imparting and embodying the value of respect.

Trust

the cornerstone of our business

Our Group is highly decentralised. Trust is therefore essential to ensure its growth as it nurtures our entrepreneurial culture. As a result our business segments are able to operate with a great deal of freedom, thus allowing decisions to be made at the grassroots level. For us, an organisation based on trust means that our people:

– are open and transparent in their dealings with others, are rewarded for demonstrating initiative, give their time generously and share in their successes

– learn from their successes and failures, and

– have the space and freedom to push boundaries and do things differently.

Creativity

how we rise to human and technical challenges

Creativity is fundamental to our successes and a source of motivation. It gives the opportunity to our people to propose innovative and differentiating solutions. When they have the freedom to be creative and have the resources to act, they are empowered to take the initiative.

– Our curious and devoted people use innovative thinking to design original, sustainable products and services that meet our customers’ expectations and help us maintain our competitive edge.

– Regardless of their role and position, they put their talent to work for the good of the entire Group – and for the benefit of society as a whole.

Imparting expertise

the key to future success

Experience is key and makes all the difference in our business segments, making us more competitive. At Bouygues, sharing our knowledge and values, particularly through our guilds, is how we succeed as a team.
For us, imparting expertise means:

– sharing our knowledge, our experience and the values that unite and drive us forward

– helping our colleagues to develop, and

– maintaining intergenerational bonds.

This strong culture of learning and imparting expertise spreads out into our ecosystem of business partners, bringing benefits for the Group’s people, our customers and society at large.
