Main addresses 3/05/11 10:05:29 RAPPORT D’ACTIVITÉ ET DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Bouygues Construction is a global player in the building, civil works, energy and services markets. Operating on every continent, it has recognised expertise at every stage of a project, from financing and design to construction, operation and maintenance. Its 54,000 employees develop effective and innovative solutions to carry out projects that enhance quality of life for all, building hospitals, schools, housing, stadiums, transport infrastructure and installing high-speed networks and street lighting. Bouygues Construction places social, societal and environmental challenges at the heart of its development strategy, with the aim of leading the way in sustainable construction. OUR VALUES Leaders Professionals Committed The talent, team spirit and diversity of the men and women of Bouygues Construction, day in, day out and on every continent, give us a powerful mouthpiece for expressing our leadership in the construction sector and for related services. We listen carefully to our customers’ demands and needs, and we are committed to providing them with high-performance and innovative solutions to ensure that their projects succeed. As a responsible company, we ensure that the social and environmental impact of our business remains at the core of our development strategy. 1 RABO010_II-01_UK_BAT.indd Sec1:1 3/05/11 10:05:50 OVERVIEW Three business areas with high added value With an extensive range of know-how, Bouygues Construction is involved through the entire value chain of building, infrastructure, energy and services projects: finance, design, construction, operation and maintenance. 2 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Building Civil works Energy and Services Housing, schools, hospitals, office buildings, stadiums, airports, exhibition centres, leisure amenities, etc. Underground works, engineering structures, earthworks, roads, ports, public transport infrastructure, etc. Integrated technical solutions in the areas of energy, industry, the service sector, transport, the environment and telecoms. 3 OVERVIEW Sustainable construction is at the heart of our strategy Yves Gabriel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 4 RABO010_04-05_UK_BAT2.indd 4 5/05/11 18:24:57 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION How would you sum up the 2010 financial year? In what remained a challenging financial and economic context, Bouygues Construction’s performance in 2010 was highly satisfactory. Our sales maintained a high level, at €9.2 billion, while orders booked, at more than €10.9 billion, were close to the record figure achieved in 2007. Our current operating margin held up very well, at 3.4%, and our net income of €201 million was once again impacted by low interest rates. What were the highlights of the past year on an operational level? We have had some strong commercial successes, particularly in relation to our high added-value offerings. In France, we won a number of major public-private partnerships (PPPs), among them 63 works and maintenance centres for the French interdepartmental roads authorities, the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille and the installation of the digital network in the Hautes Pyrénées department. On the international stage, several major contracts were signed, particularly in Asia (the Singapore Sports Hub, a cruise ferry terminal and rail tunnels in Hong Kong) and in Morocco (Tangier Med Port 2). We also successfully positioned ourselves in Qatar (Barwa Financial District) and we reinforced our presence in Canada by winning the contract for the headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Turning to our ongoing operations, once again this year our teams have been active on several hundred construction sites of all sizes throughout the world. We delivered three office towers (Sequana and First in the Paris region and Oxygène in Lyon), as well as the Shangri-La and Royal Monceau hotels in Paris. We continued works on major hospitals in Amiens and Orléans and the Flamanville nuclear power plant. In the field of transport infrastructure, we completed the Reims tramway and brought the Gautrain rail link into service in time for the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Several prestigious buildings were completed in Turkmenistan. ETDE installed a data centre in Aubervilliers and erected power lines in Congo and Gabon. In addition to all of this, we finalised the acquisition of the Leadbitter group, strengthening our position in the United Kingdom. What are your expectations for 2011? We do not anticipate an important improvement in our markets in 2011, and commercial pressure will remain strong. In western countries, austerity measures introduced by many governments combined with the wariness of private investors give no cause for any hope of dynamic growth. The revolutions that are taking place in several countries in the Arab world are further causes of instability and are harmful to our commercial activity. And Asia has now clearly confirmed itself as the new centre of gravity of the world economy. In this environment, we have a number of major commercial targets. Contracts due to be awarded in France include the Nîmes-Montpellier bypass, several stadiums including Bordeaux and Lyon and the first operations forming part of a national university reorganisation scheme. The year began well for us, with the news that we have been designated the preferred bidder for the Ministry of Defence project in Balard. Outside France, we are preparing a number of projects, particularly airports and hospitals. As far as our activity is concerned, it will be based on order books which are currently at a record level of more than €14 billion and which we expect to increase slightly. Turning to sustainable construction, what are your ambitions for the coming years? What progress did you make in 2010? Sustainable construction is a strong trend on our markets. To enable us to give the best possible response to the expectations expressed by our customers, we have decided to position this new approach to our industry at the very heart of our strategy. We are doing so by structuring our initiatives in the form of an ambitious action plan. We have already made progress in a number of areas. In R&D, for instance, we have founded and are funding a chair in Sustainable Building in conjunction with three prestigious engineering schools (Ecole des Ponts, Centrale Paris and Supelec) and the CSTB. We have also signed an agreement with WWF on supplying our construction sites with wood from sustainably managed forests. More than half of the orders we book for buildings now include meeting environmental standards or applying for environmental certification. We have signed the first energy efficiency contract in France covering the housing sector, and we have just delivered the new headquarters of our subsidiary ETDE, which is a whole compendium of sustainability innovations. And you have also launched renovation works at Challenger, Bouygues Construction’s headquarters in Saint-Quentin-enYvelines… That’s right. Challenger was designed 25 years ago, and for a long time it has been a showcase for our Group’s know-how in new-build construction. We now want to turn it into a showcase for our know-how in “sustainable renovation”. With this in mind, we have launched an ambitious programme of works with the site continuing to function normally, which will result in the building being certified to meet the three leading international standards (HQE, Bream and Leed). The building’s energy consumption will be divided by ten and its environmental impact heavily reduced. The project is also intended to improve the working environment of the 3,200 people who work at Challenger. Interviewed April 6, 2011. 5 RABO010_04-05_UK_BAT.indd 5 3/05/11 10:09:48 OVERVIEW General Management Committee Seeking to respond fast and efficiently, Bouygues Construction is organised in operating entities which all report directly to General Management. They receive support from corporate functions and EIGs (economic interest groupings): financial engineering, management control, treasury, legal affairs, human resources, communications, equipment and IT services. Since 2009, a Group Research and Innovation department has directed and consolidated the work of R&D and Innovation teams, the specialist unit for sustainable construction and the Sustainable Development department. A Central Purchasing department allows a pooling of resources and co-ordinates purchasing teams at Group level.

There has been a significant rise in medium- and long-term orders, providing the Group with an increasingly clear outlook. 2008 2009 2010 SALES (in billions of euros) Sales fell slightly by comparison with 2009, following growth of 73% over six years. In France, the drop in business (down 5% to €5.1 billion) was more marked than on international markets, where business was virtually stable (down 1% to €4.1 billion). 17% 3% 3% 2008 2009 2010 2008 NET PROFIT, GROUP SHARE (in millions of euros) Operating profit remained at a very satisfactory level compared with 2009. Net profit was affected for the second consecutive year by the low interest rates remunerating the cash surplus. 17% 21% 13% 2009 2010 NET CASH POSITION (in billions of euros) The cash surplus remained at a very high level. The decrease of €430 million is accounted for by a lower level of business, the purchase of the Group headquarters, Challenger, from Bouygues SA and a rise in operating investment following the start of work on several major projects in 2010. 3% 9% 12% 4% 27% 83% 17% BREAKDOWN OF SALES BY BUSINESS AREA The split between building and civil works projects and energy and services operations was stable.

This structured and pragmatic approach to meeting the challenges of sustainable development consists of seven key themes broken down into a core of 42 concrete actions that constitute the common working basis for all the subsidiaries. The subsidiaries carry out self-assessment and set improvement targets for all 42 core actions, using a frame of reference that sets out expectations for each level of implementation (ranging from 1 to 4). This annual process monitors progress made in deploying the policy. A third party (Ernst & Young) has audited it for the past three years, validating the scoring and consolidation carried out. The Sustainable Development department, which reports to the General Management Committee, directs the roll-out of this policy, working with a committee consisting of representatives of the operating entities and the key support functions. It also heads a network of roughly one hundred coordinators in the subsidiaries. A specialist unit in Sustainable Construction and subcommittees working on specific topics such as diversity, purchasing and ethics are also part of the structure. A portion of the variable part of senior managers’ remuneration is linked to meeting sustainable development targets, such as safety. Such targets are incorporated in employee appraisal interviews. 10 RABO010_10-11_UK_BAT.indd 10 3/05/11 10:15:04 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION ACTITUDES, 7 KEY THEMES Foster a trusting relationship with our clients, based on consideration, transparency and innovation.

These involve finance, design, construction and facilities management (operation and maintenance). In all types of projects, sustainable construction constitutes a factor of differentiation in the Group’s offer. 1. 1 International Bouygues Construction operates on international markets on a long-term basis through local subsidiaries. It continues to integrate recent acquisitions, especially in Europe, where countries that have recently joined the EU have considerable infrastructure needs. The Group also benefits from dynamic growth in other regions where it carries out major projects. Principal projects: Cruise Terminal (Hong Kong), Barwa Financial District (Qatar), Gautrain Rapid Rail Link (South Africa). 2. 2 Energy and services These businesses enable Bouygues Construction to design comprehensive solutions for its customers. They provide the Group with complementary business cycles and generate recurring long-term revenue. The group is also strengthening its positions in high-technology segments such as optical fibre and data centres. Principal projects: street lighting in BoulogneBillancourt and Sèvres (France), the Global Switch data centre in Clichy-sous-Bois (France), the Drôme-Ardèche fibre optic network (France), power networks (Mozambique and Congo). 1 Design and construction of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. 2 Installation of power lines in Mozambique. 12 RABO010_12-13_UK_BAT2.indd 12 5/05/11 18:29:35 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION 3 Public-private partnership for the reconfiguration of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille and its surroundings. 4 Construction as general contractor of Tampines Grande in Singapore, an office building with LEED Gold and Green Mark Platinum certifications. 3 3. High value-added projects Bouygues Construction has developed highlevel expertise in public-private partnerships and concessions, both in France and elsewhere. These projects enable the Group 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. Principal projects: Sports Hub (Singapore), Stade Vélodrome in Marseille (France), Surrey hospital (Canada). 4 4. Sustainable construction Sustainable construction is a strategic priority for all the 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. Principal projects: Australia, the headquarters of ETDE in Montigny-le-Bretonneux (France), the First Tower at La Défense (France), the Tampines buildings (Singapore). 13 RABO010_12-13_UK_BAT.indd 13 3/05/11 10:16:49 OVERVIEW A major international group Operating on every continent, Bouygues Construction generates roughly half of its sales outside France, which avoids reliance on the French market cycle alone. The Group enjoys a strong presence in Western Europe and Eastern Europe, a strategically attractive region for Bouygues Construction. The Group owns subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic. It is also active in Asia, Africa, the Middle East BREAKDOWN OF INTERNATIONAL SALES IN 2010 37% Western Europe 9% Eastern Europe 29% Asia - Pacific 20% Africa - Middle East 5% Americas - Caribbean and the Caribbean, where it operates either through long-term operations or on a one-off basis to carry out large complex projects.

The remarkable “waveshaped” architectural concept posed a major technological challenge, which was met by the company’s teams over 24 months of works. Tampines Grande Singapore Constructed by Dragages Singapour and Byme, the Tampines Grande in Singapore was certified LEED Gold, the prestigious American environmental certification. Acknowledged worldwide, this certification recognises a building’s energy efficiency and sustainability characteristics. Tongon Gold Mine Ivory Coast DTP Terrassement signed a 10year contract to work the Tongon Gold Mine in Ivory Coast. The company will be responsible for excavating 80 million m3 of openpit mines. Vincennes Zoo Vincennes, France Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and ETDE won a PPP contract to rebuild Vincennes Zoo. The project, worth a total of €206 million, includes architectural design and landscaping of the new site, financing and construction, followed by 25 years of facilities management. 2010 in facts and figures With operations in roughly 80 countries, Bouygues Construction enjoyed a year rich in challenges and successes in all its businesses. Here are some of the highlights of the year. 24 RABO010_24-27_UK_BAT2.indd 24 5/05/11 18:30:25 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Bouygues Construction has joined our Global Forest and Trade Network, making it the first French company in its sector to commit itself to this approach. The Group will increase the volumes of wood it purchases from forests that are managed according to the principles that guarantee the sustainability of resources, the preservation of biodiversity and social wellbeing. It will do this while maintaining the competitiveness of its procurements in terms of costs, quality and delivery times. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Surrey, Canada The Sentou ecocommunity Bouygues Bâtiment International and ETDE won a second PPP contract in Canada to design and build the headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Surrey, with facilities management for 25 years.

Gateway Bridge Brisbane, Australia In Brisbane, Australia, the second Gateway Bridge, built by a consortium including VSL, was opened to traffic in May. The company and its partners were entirely responsible for building the 260m-long structure. 22 years is the length of the PPP contract worth €123 million signed by ETDE with the Hautes-Pyrénées department to construct its fibre optic network and operate it commercially. Cruise terminal Hong Kong, China Dragages Hong Kong won a €490-million design-build contract for the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. The BREEAM-certified facility will be capable of berthing two super cruise liners at once. 25 RABO010_24-27_UK_BAT.indd 25 3/05/11 10:23:47 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP Gautrain South Africa Bouygues Travaux Publics delivered the first stretch of Gautrain, running from the international airport to Sandton, in time for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. It is the fastest and most modern rapid transport network in Africa. The 1st energy performance contract (CPE) in housing in France was signed by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and ETDE with LogiRep. The companies will modernise 231 social housing flats in Vitry-sur-Seine, southern Paris, guaranteeing a 40% reduction in energy consumption. Award Paris, France In partnership with Bouygues Construction, the École des Ponts, Supélec and the CSTB, we have set up a research and teaching chair in sustainable building and innovation. On these leadingedge issues, it is important that all those who are, at one level or another, concerned by these matters and eager for things to advance quickly, combine their forces and their respective resources. At the first Green Business Awards, organised by BFM Business, La Tribune and Ernst&Young, Bouygues Construction won the Strategic Change prize for Actitudes, its sustainable development policy, which it launched in 2007. Hervé Biausser, Director, École Centrale Paris 26 RABO010_24-27_UK_BAT.indd 26 3/05/11 10:23:52 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Stadium On 8 November, GFC Construction and ETDE signed a public-private partnership contract to renovate and extend the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille and maintain and operate it for 35 years.

Hospital Bourgoin-Jallieu, France GFC Construction delivered the 490-bed Pierre Oudot hospital in Bourgoin-Jallieu in October, following 32 months of works. ETDE will be responsible for maintaining the hospital, which was built according to stringent environmental standards, for 31 years. Shangri-La Hotel Paris, France In December, after three years of major renovation, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France handed over the luxury Shangri-La Hotel, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It offers 81 rooms and 27 suites, including five duplex suites. 27 RABO010_24-27_UK_BAT.indd 27 3/05/11 10:23:55 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP R&D AND INNOVATION Australia, the new HQE®-certified and BBC effinergie®-labelled ETDE headquarters. Innovation responds to our challenges Bouygues Construction draws on research and development (R&D) and innovation to anticipate and support the changes affecting its businesses and markets. A response to the environmental challenges raised by its activities and a source of growth for the company, sustainable construction is central to its research programmes. 28 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 28 3/05/11 10:25:25 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Spreading innovation within the Group Group-wide research programmes are overseen and coordinated by the R&D, Innovation and Sustainable Construction Department, created in 2009. An R&D committee comprising senior technical managers from each entity selects research priorities and defines budgets, deliverables and timetables. It also encourages innovation at all levels of the company, especially by organising innovation forums open to all staff (technical, works, sales and marketing, etc.) and innovation competitions both within the various entities and, every two years, at Group level. 2,000 employees submitted 500 entries for the 2010 Bouygues Construction innovation competition, the selection criteria for which incorporated many aspects related to sustainable development and sustainable construction. Prize-winning innovations included a proactive sales approach based on ordinary biodiversity, a new approach to lighting and lighting power sources called Eco-Light and a low-carbon self-compacting concrete. Group entities also have their own specific R&D programmes in order to come up with innovations in their own projects at the sales, design, construction and operation/maintenance stages. They carry out research that aims to improve the performance of materials and equipment, safety and quality of work, to optimise deadlines, to make work less strenuous and to reduce environmental impacts. Practical research priorities &D and innovation, which weigh increasingly heavily in the development of the construction industry, are among Bouygues Construction’s key strategic priorities. A response to the environmental challenges raised by its activities and a source of growth for the company, sustainable construction is central to its research programmes. Bouygues Construction devoted 50% of its R&D budget to sustainable construction in 2010, compared with 32% in 2009. It has also put the issue at the heart of its strategy, launching a sustainable construction project in mid-2010 within the framework of its Actitudes sustainable development policy (see p. 10). Over and above the technological implications, the project concerns organisation, marketing and sales and worksite production methods. The aims are to develop innovative and practical solutions at every level of the company that promote sustainable construction. R The main priorities in Bouygues Construction’s Group-wide research programme in 2010 were: • Making buildings more energy-effi cient, in particular through better control of actual consumption (diagnostic tools, materials performance analysis, usage tracking, etc.) and innovative technologies to produce energy and reduce consumption (solar air-conditioning, external insulation, etc.). • Reducing carbon emissions (low-carbon concrete, etc.). • Developing a database of the environmental characteristics of finishing products. • Developing a methodology for assessing urban biodiversity. • Improving air quality inside homes. • Evaluating the lifecycle cost of buildings. • Promoting eco-design (taking part in the European Open House project to develop and establish a common building assessment method in Europe, taking part in the Bouygues SA and Alstom UrbanEra project). 2,000 employees were involved in the Innovation Competition in 2010. Innovative offers for customers based on eco-design Eco-design, which takes account of all the environmental impacts of a project from design to 29 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 29 3/05/11 10:25:28 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP Sustainable construction is at the heart of the Group’s development strategy.

The pioneering CarbonEco® software tool, designed in-house, calculates the greenhouse gas emissions linked with a building or civil engineering project and enables users to compare eco-variants and test various operating options. In 2010, the Group continued to roll out Hypervision, an application that tracks a building's energy consumption in real time and is used by Group subsidiaries in PPP contracts with an operation and maintenance component. Bouygues Construction has also teamed up with the CSTB to develop Elodie®, a solution that assesses the environmental quality of projects through lifecycle analysis based on multiple criteria. areas like digital modelling, composite materials and photovoltaic energy. Along the same lines, in 2010 the Group financed the creation of a research and teaching chair in sustainable building and innovation in partnership with École des Ponts ParisTech, École Centrale Paris, Supélec and CSTB, the French building technology research centre. The aim of the chair is to encourage academic research in areas such as energy efficiency and environmental performance in buildings, low-carbon technologies, user health and comfort, lifecycle costing, digital modelling and the building/building and building/neighbourhood interface. Cooperation with other industry players and engineering schools In addition to its own resources, Bouygues Construction enters into cooperation agreements with other industry players and university research institutes. These partnerships help to develop innovative materials like Thermedia™ 0.6 B insulating ready-mix concrete (with Lafarge in 2009) and give access to high-level technical expertise to foster rapid progress in cutting-edge 30 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 30 3/05/11 10:25:30 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Interview Gaëtan Desruelles, Executive Vice President in charge of R&D, Innovation and sustainable construction Since 2009, sustainable construction, R&D and innovation have been grouped together in a single department. What challenges does this organisation correspond to? Our construction operations and the structures and buildings that result from them constitute a significant portion of our overall greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of natural raw materials. Acknowledging this, and driven by the introduction of very effective regulatory measures in the wake of the Grenelle Environment Forum, we worked on transforming our businesses so that we could introduce solutions that would reduce the environmental footprint of our projects. In this context, R&D and innovation represented vital drivers for progress. They led us to construct buildings as demonstrators of our know-how, which to start with were exceptions but are now becoming the norm. To enable it to keep pace with the changes occurring in its markets, and, better still, to anticipate them, Bouygues Construction made sustainable construction a strategic challenge. To formulate this strategy and start implementing it, the idea of bringing together the energies that were already focused on sustainable development and sustainable construction in the Group was an obvious choice. And on an operational level? The adoption of sustainable construction entails a significant shift in our commitments and responsibilities. Our customers now expect us to be able to design and implement solutions that will enable high performance levels in a number of areas, chief among them energy consumption. In addition to these expectations come the guarantee of high performance, not only at the point of commissioning but also through periods that are growing longer and longer. The engagement to which we commit by contract with our customers now takes the form of long-term performance obligations. Is the Group prepared to meet the challenge of sustainable construction? It’s nothing new for the Group to pay attention to environment issues. The environmental component of Actitudes, Bouygues Construction’s sustainable development policy, made it possible to pragmatically organise training for all our teams in taking the environment into consideration. With sustainable construction, we’re going further by incorporating all environmental issues into our design, construction and maintenance processes. In all these areas, 2011 will mark a new stage as our new Actitudes action plan for sustainable construction comes into force. Whether it’s sales teams, R&D experts, marketing specialists, engineering office technicians, site managers, lawyers, purchasers or whatever, absolutely all the functions will progressively be affected by this action plan. The machine is now in motion, and it’s more important for it to go far and deep than fast. 31 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 31 3/05/11 10:25:41 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP HUMAN RESOURCES the company’s greatest resource Men and women constitute Bouygues Construction’s principal resource. It is their professionalism and commitment to customer service that ensure that the Group continues to develop. The emphasis of the Group’s human resources management is on accident prevention and safety, training, diversity, well-being at work and respect for basic human rights. ouygues Construction’s accident prevention policy aims to keep its businesses and worksites accident-free. It is coordinated by a committee which ensures the sharing of best practices and consistency in initiatives for progress and tracking indicators. The total safety management system, implemented in all entities, has OHSAS 18001 certification that covers 83% of the Group's activity. The commitment shown by operational managers and supervisors has reduced the risk level over the last five years: • the accident frequency rate* fell from 11.97 in 2005 to 6.14 in 2010; • the accident severity rate* fell from 0.54 in 2005 to 0.30 in 2010. The safety action plan includes training staff and making them more responsible. All entities organise safety programmes for site workers, supervisors, foremen and managers. Temporary staff and subcontractors are also included in prevention initiatives, including on-site reception, safety clauses in contracts, training, prevention guides and partnerships. Road safety is a flagship issue for the Group: 300 employees have received training since 2009. In 2010, DTP Terrassement created a Road Safety in Africa guidebook with an accompanying video on eco-driving techniques for plant operators. In occupational health, ergonomics is a priority for Bouygues Construction, which has introduced warmup exercises for site workers before they start work, B 300 employees trained in road safety. 32 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT2.indd 32 5/05/11 18:26:30 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION recruited ergonomists and introduced equipment and materials that are easier to use, such as self-compacting and self-levelling cement. The anti-addiction campaign continued in 2010, the aim not being to penalise but to create conditions in which employees with addiction issues can be given medical support. In 2009 the Group developed a specific software application to assess chemical risks and set up a monitoring unit, which is taking steps to identify and replace all known products that might contain carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR) substances or hazardous chemical agents. Training and internal mobility Training (see p. 35) represents 5.4 % of Bouygues Construction’s payroll in France. It is provided by inhouse training centres both at Group level (Bouygues Construction University, Gustave Eiffel apprentice training centre) and in the subsidiaries (Pro Académie, VSL Academy, etc.). The Minorange Guild, which has branches in other countries including Switzerland, Morocco, Turkmenistan or Hong Kong, and training are recognised as means for site workers to advance their careers. Site workers are also offered courses in literacy and numeracy training. There was a high level of internal mobility in 2010, made easier by the introduction of a new software tool that manages needs and resources within the Group. Diversity Bouygues Construction created a Diversity committee in 2008. With one representative from each entity, it works on the key themes of diversity. Older workers All entities have concluded agreements to favour the recruitment of older workers and to support them in their career by means such as skills reviews, work experience accreditation and more frequent medical check-ups. 5.4% of the payroll dedicated to training. Gender equality 21% of managerial staff in 2010 were women, Le Millénaire Shopping center, Aubervilliers (France). 33 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT2.indd 33 5/05/11 18:26:38 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP compared with 18% in 2009. Various steps have been taken to include more women in production teams, such as a scheme in partnership with IMS-Entreprendre pour la Cité to diversify career choices for girls, management training for women and a plan, in partnership with a grouping of construction industry employers, to train women as crane operators (see p. 48). 608 people with disabilities employed by Bouygues Construction in France. Disability Most Bouygues Construction entities have concluded agreements with Agefiph, a fund to promote the employment of disabled people, that include commitments in four areas: raising awareness among staff, recruitment, ongoing employment and subcontracting to the sheltered sector. 608 disabled people were employed in the Group's French subsidiaries at end-2010. The use of the sheltered sector is overseen by the Purchasing Department and implemented by pairs of HR and purchasing managers in each entity. The proportion of sales subcontracted to the sheltered sector has risen by 9%. The Group also supported measures to raise the level of vocational skills in the sheltered sector in 2010. Ethnic diversity Bouygues Construction organises awareness-raising sessions for managers to prevent discriminatory situations and to battle against stereotypes. Since 2007, equal opportunity training has been given to approximately 300 HR and other managers. Well-being at work Three-year satisfaction surveys are incorporated into the management cycle to ensure that employees' expectations are better taken into account. 77% of employees in France benefit from an annual interview at which they are able to review their situation with their line manager. First agreements on the prevention of psychosocial risks were concluded in several entities in 2010. They include arrangements for psychosocial watch and alert arrangements and charters for managers on reconciling work and personal life. Bouygues Construction University introduced a workplace stress training module in 2010. A handbook was produced for managers to help them identify and deal with difficult situations that generate stress. Bouygues Construction signed up to the Parenting Charter in 2008 and is a partner of the Parenting Observatory. A practical guide produced in 2010 gives managers legal advice and tips on how best to handle issues such as maternity and paternity leave and teleworking. Respect for human rights Operating in nearly 80 countries, Bouygues Construction encounters a very wide range of economic, social and political situations. Its actions are guided by respect for fundamental values and principles of human rights, enshrined in instruments like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO conventions, OECD guidelines and the UN Global Compact. These principles are echoed in the Bouygues Group’s Code of Ethics and the Supplier CSR Charter, circulated in all subsidiaries. Entities operating in emerging countries take action in a variety of different ways: • Enabling local staff to benefit from the Group’s occupational health and safety standards, which are stricter than local requirements in many countries (e.g. complete annual medical check-ups for all employees in Vietnam, where compulsory medical cover is poor). • Providing decent working conditions and accommodation while respecting different cultures and communities. • Introducing controls to ensure that subcontractors and suppliers do not use forced or child labour. Bouygues Construction also has very strict procedures in place to combat illegal working (see p. 50). • Transferring know-how and skills to local staff. • Supporting associations that help the most disadvantaged people in the vicinity of all major projects. • Refusing to work in countries under a United Nations embargo. Employee saving Bouygues ranks as the CAC 40 group with the highest level of employee shareholding (19.1% of capital as at 31 January 2011). A further leveraged capital increase, Bouygues Confiance 5, was launched in November 2010, enabling employees to benefit from the Group’s performance. In France, roughly half of Bouygues Construction employees subscribed. * To comply with standard practice in the industry, Bouygues Construction has changed its way of calculating safety indicators. Indicators are now calculated on the basis of all employees and not only employees assigned to production (under the previous method of calculation, frequency rate = 7.61 and severity rate = 0.39). 34 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 34 3/05/11 10:25:46 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Interview Jean-Manuel Soussan, Human Resources Director in charge of HR development Bouygues Construction has had an active policy with regard to training for many years. Why has this been? We have always considered that our employees are at the heart of the Group’s performance and that it is consequently essential for us to develop their skills. In a tougher economic context, it’s more important than ever for us to focus our growth on our expertise and keep pace efficiently with the changes occurring in our industries. This is why we are continuing to invest heavily in training, far in excess of our legal obligations. So in 2010, more than 5% of the total payroll was devoted to training, which represents roughly 18,200 trainees and more than 600,000 hours of training. This is a winning strategy in more ways than one, because, by developing the employability of our people and taking them to the peak of their potential, we also attract talents and retain them within the Group. There’s a saying: “able to go, happy to stay!” How are the various training packages designed? To adapt our employees’ skills to the changes occurring in the Group, we must first of all identify the needs and ensure that the training programmes bring solutions that correspond to our major strategies. This is why all the HR departments have worked together to map our training packages, which makes it possible to direct people to the right programme accurately and efficiently. Training programmes are designed for every profession and function (production, engineering, sales, management, etc.), and they are provided at three levels (introduction, advanced skills and expertise), so delivering support for our employees according to their professional experience. Safety remains a top priority in our training programmes – it accounts for no less than 50% of the training budget. In spite of the good results we have achieved, we must remain vigilant, not only continuing with our training courses but also carrying out more and more initiatives to raise safety awareness in all Group entities. What is the place of the Bouygues Construction University in this set-up? Our university is chiefly intended for managers, with roughly 30 training offers available to all the Group’s entities. Approximately 1,300 people per year have taken advantage of it since it started up in 2008. 10% of our overall investment in training goes on it. The university is the ideal place for learning, sharing and personal development. 35 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT2.indd 35 5/05/11 18:26:54 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP STAKEHOLDERS Listening stening to civil society As part of its sustainable development policy, Bouygues Construction has established the conditions for ongoing dialogue with customers, suppliers, subcontractors, pressure groups, NGOs, employees, local residents, etc. Through agreements, partnerships and dialogue, the Group is able to take account of their expectations in its operations. Volunteers help rebuild homes in Haiti, in partnership with Emergency Architects. 36 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 36 3/05/11 10:25:56 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Customer relations Our customers’ trust is founded on the guaranteed quality of our products and production methods, backed up by an integrated Quality-Safety-Environment management system (82% of sales were generated in triple-certified operating units in 2009). Within this framework, listening to customers continues to be a priority, reflected in the systematic introduction of customer satisfaction surveys and greater use of outside organisations to ensure that opinions can be freely expressed. For example, Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe asked Qualimétrie to conduct all its satisfaction surveys in 2010; customer surveys were carried out for 52% of all building and civil engineering projects delivered. Ethics As part of its ethics policy, Bouygues Construction has taken steps to raise awareness among managers and to promote irreproachable business behaviour. Four main measures were taken in 2010: an extension of whistle-blowing arrangements to anti-competitive practices; stricter vet- ting by Adit, a business intelligence agency, before sales agents are appointed; the creation of an ethics committee; and the introduction of an ethics training plan for the executive committees of all Bouygues Construction subsidiaries, covering 130 senior executives. The Group has created a Sustainable Construction Club in to order to dialogue with customers and partners on a range of topics, such as social housing, offices and logistics hubs. Involving suppliers and subcontractors in initiatives for progress The Group’s subsidiaries seek to ensure that their subcontractors take their social and environmental responsibilities seriously, in areas such as health and safety, quality, environment and illegal labour. To that end, they organise training courses, working groups, conventions, satisfaction surveys and cooperation reviews and provide introductory handbooks at the start of projects. 82% of sales generated in QSE triple-certified operating units in 2010. Purchasing policy The Group’s responsible purchasing policy is coordinated by a special committee which provides purchasers with information and training on the subject. The policy is backed up by catalogues of eco-products and eco-materials for technical and works staff. The assessment of suppliers’ CSR performance has been strengthened by the use of a specialist external organisation, EcoVadis, offering objective analysis and a benchmark between suppliers (164 suppliers have been audited over the last two years, representing purchases worth €415 million). This arrangement complements the principles set out in the Supplier CSR Charter attached to contracts and specific clauses relating to social and environmental responsibility in subcontracting agreements. In France in 2010, the Group signed a contractor/SME best practice charter under the aegis of the Minister of the Economy, Industry and Employment containing ten commitments relating to responsible purchasing. Elsewhere, particular attention is paid to suppliers in emerging countries: 47 social and quality audits of new suppliers were carried out in 2010. In October 2010, the Group entered into a five-year partnership with WWF (the World Wide Fund for Nature), becoming the first member of its Forest & Trade network in the construction industry in France. Combating illegal labour Very strict procedures are in place to combat illegal working, including systematic checks of identity documents and work permits in liaison with the authorities, personalised access badges, training for works supervisors, clauses in framework agreements with temporary employment 37 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 37 3/05/11 10:25:58 AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE GROUP Clauses encouraging employment for disadvantaged people are included in Group contracts. Ecosite Bouygues Construction Environmental Label agencies guaranteeing that their employees are legal and in-house checks. Participating in the economic and social life of local communities In its operations, Bouygues Construction takes account of stakeholder expectations relating to both social and environmental issues through its numerous partnerships and exchanges with civil society bodies such as non-governmental organisations, associations and local authorities. Bouygues Construction has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact since 2006 and has taken an active part since 2007 in working parties organised by Comité 21, a sustainable development ginger group. 53 projects financed by the Terre Plurielle foundation in 2010. Listening to local residents It is essential to take the expectations of local residents, local authorities and civil society as a whole into account in order to successfully integrate worksites into their environment. In 2010, consultation exercises, communication campaigns or surveys to measure the satisfaction of local residents were conducted for 64% of worksites. Along similar lines, Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe provides its works teams with a local residents pack that includes a guide to meetings with local residents, a model information letter and a sample satisfaction survey. Encouraging local employment Bouygues Construction has a proactive policy of employing local site workers and managerial staff, thus helping to develop the areas where its entities operate. The local benefits in terms of direct and indirect jobs, transfers of know-how and support to communities provide further evidence of the company’s commitment. In Cuba, for example, Bouygues Bâtiment International has set up a centre to train foremen and has trained 165 site workers there since 2008. Promoting integration Bouygues Construction also has a proactive policy of partnership with local integration bodies. Examples include Chantiers Ecoles, a vocational training programme in partnership with the government employment agency Pôle Emploi and AFPA, an adult training organisation; a partnership with EPIDe, an agency of the French army, to help educational underachievers into employment; and the Gateway to Employment programme in the Paris region to help young people and adults find a job. Whether at the request of customers or spontaneously, each subsidiary offers to include integration clauses in their contracts. In 2010, for example, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France set up a Chantier Ecole on the site of the national records office in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, near Paris, that takes on and trains 25 young people without qualifications. ETDE is continuing its partnership with the National Neighbourhood Association Liaison Committee, a coordinating body for 120 local associations, with the aim of subcontracting various services such as marking out worksites and providing information to local residents to people in at-risk situations. Sponsorship Through Terre Plurielle, its corporate foundation created in 2009, Bouygues Construction supports projects favouring access to healthcare, education and integration for the disadvantaged in France and abroad. In 2010, the foundation supported 53 projects sponsored by Group employees in 13 different countries. In addition to the foundation’s work, Bouygues Construction entities engage in solidarity initiatives in the places where it operates. Community action committees have been set up in several entities to give practical expression to the company’s commitments. Outside France, Bouygues Construction is involved in two main partnerships, with Care for the reconstruction of 3,000 homes in Cuba following the local hurricanes, and with Emergency Architects to enable volunteers from the Group to leave on humanitarian missions in disaster-stricken countries, notably Haiti. 38 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 38 3/05/11 10:26:00 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Interview Xavier Emmanuelli, Former doctor, chairman and founder of the Samu Social de Paris and Samu International, co-founder of Doctors Without Borders and a director of the Terre Plurielle Foundation Why did you agree to serve on the board of directors of the Terre Plurielle Foundation? I have been involved in humanitarian work for thirty years. As a doctor, I found many forms of exclusion around the world – poor people, forgotten people, vulnerable and lonely people, and so on. This was what led me to found the Samu Social in 1993 and then Samu International in 1998. The initiatives carried out by Terre Plurielle to improve access to healthcare, education and training and to help the integration of disadvantaged people correspond perfectly with my own convictions, because they are part of the fight against many forms of exclusion. So I was delighted to accept when I was invited to take a seat on the board of directors of Terre Plurielle. My role in the foundation mainly consists of examining and selecting projects sponsored by Bouygues Construction employees, according to their feasibility. The exclusion of young people is a particular preoccupation of yours. What solutions have been introduced to help the integration of this section of the population? I have worked a lot on this issue, and built up some sort of expertise over the years in training and dealing with young people. Through my involvement with the Foundation, I’ve been able to promote a project for “knowledge-transmitters”, which is now operational. It’s a system where retired doctors can volunteer to train underprivileged young people in a very specific area of expertise: assisting the elderly. Issues relating to the aging of the population have never weighed as heavily as they do today. As a matter of urgency we have to create new professions so that we can deal with the physical and mental problems and difficulties that result in a loss of autonomy in elderly people. Returning to a form of solidarity between the generations is a very interesting way forward, because it helps bring each age group out of its isolation. What is the legitimacy for a company like Bouygues Construction undertaking social projects? Companies play a key role in the economic and social life of the region where they operate. They are increasingly becoming aware of their impact on their natural and social environment. Let’s not forget that beyond the wealth they create, companies are also strong vectors for social cohesion and in this respect, they can’t get away from their responsibilities. The development of initiatives such as those that are being carried out by the Terre Plurielle Foundation not only helps to create new forms of solidarity but also motivates employees to work together to achieve shared objectives. 39 RABO010_28-39_UK_BAT.indd 39 3/05/11 10:26:04 an in-depth view of the group Innovations in close-up In all its businesses, Bouygues Construction designs and develops technical innovations that enable it to make differentiating offers to its customers. Here are close-ups of some of them. 1 Double-skin facade Consisting of an inner skin in double glazing and an outer skin in single glazing, the double-skin facade reduces heat loss and improves acoustic insulation. It enables buildings to save energy. 4 Energy performance contract In December 2010, Bouygues Construction signed the first energy performance contract in the housing sector in France with LogiRep. The Group has undertaken to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings it is renovating, by up to 40%. 1 2 Smart street lamps Street lamps equipped with Citybox, developed by ETDE, transform the public streetlighting network into a digital network connected to the Internet. Lighting management is therefore optimised and many different functions are available: video-protection, assistance for the visually impaired, pollution readings, traffic control, etc. 4 2 3 Innovative concrete Bouygues Construction invests heavily in research seeking to improve the technical qualities of concrete. In partnership with Lafarge, the Group has developed Thermedia TM 0.6 B, a structural insulating concrete. The Group has also developed a low-carbon concrete, already brought into use on some of its worksites. Self-placing concrete makes it possible to reduce noise disturbance from construction sites. 40 3 Corporate report BouYgueS ConStruCtion 5 6 cooling StaDiumS Bouygues Construction has developed a low-consumption system for cooling the stands in stadiums thanks to the combined use of several technologies: overnight cold storage, motorised stadium roof (shadow), distribution of water and air with minimal loss and use of air blowers to improve the comfort of spectators. 7 meaSuring toolS Bouygues Construction develops its own instrumentation as part of its ongoing operations. The Ares system is used to measure settling under a railway line when it is in service, while Coteta allows real-time monitoring of settling during tunnelling. 8 tHe SanDing robot Working alongside manufacturers and experienced research laboratories, Bouygues Construction is developing robots intended to carry out strenuous and/or repetitive tasks on building sites. One example is the robot sander that can automatically operate on large wall and ceiling surfaces. In particular, it can be used in the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. tHe vSl cable tie For the pylons of cable-stay bridges, VSL has developed a new cable tie which drastically reduces damaging phenomena and so considerably increases the lifespan of the cables. In addition, thanks to an ingenious detail that has been patented, VSL cable ties tolerate variations in the tension of the stays on either side of the pylon without the cable requiring additional blocking, meaning that a stay can be replaced at low cost if necessary. 6 8 5 6 7 41 LOREM IPSUM IPSUM Careers and creations Building, sharing, inventing, discovering, transmitting – and seeing the fruits of your effort take shape and make a lasting impression on our dayto-day surroundings… Careers in the construction industry bring a wealth of challenges and sources of satisfaction and pride. 42 RABO010_42-46_UK_BAT2.indd 42 5/05/11 18:28:06 RAPPORT D’ACTIVITÉ ET DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Manuel Goncalves Chief master builder, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France When he first joined Bouygues Construction in 2007, Manuel Goncalves worked as part of a small team. “But today, there are 21 people working in my team!” he explains. What marks out this team is that half a dozen of them are aged below 25. Hired even though they have received no specific training and were having difficulty finding their feet in the world of work, these young people have been learning their crafts under Manuel’s watchful eye. “Whether they’re tracers, formworkers, finishing masons or crane-drivers, all of them have acquired know-how over the months and years,” remarks site foreman Manuel. He is a highly satisfied man – to date, not one of the young people who have learned their craft under his charge has left. 43 RABO010_42-46_UK_BAT2.indd 43 5/05/11 18:28:16 CAREERS AND CREATIONS Anne-Christelle de Savignac Manager of the Energy unit, Exprimm Energy? Anne-Christelle de Savignac has it in abundance! When she joined Exprimm (a subsidiary of ETDE) in 2007, she had just returned from nine years spent in the United States, where she had acquired solid experience in carrying out energy audits for service companies. “It was a tremendous experience, but the trouble was that it meant leaving it to others to implement the solutions I was recommending,” she recalls. “Today, my work in the Exprimm Energy unit gives me the added satisfaction of achieving results!” As a bonus, she gets to contribute to the development of some of the latest technological advances introduced in energy optimisation. The most recent example is the new ETDE head office, in Australia, which is one of the first buildings to be equipped with Hypervision, a global energy efficiency supervision software tool developed by the Group. 44 RABO010_42-46_UK_BAT.indd 44 3/05/11 10:33:32 RAPPORT D’ACTIVITÉ ET DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Denis Averlan Director of Operations and Building Works, Bouygues Bâtiment International Before he became director of operations, Denis Averlan had already travelled much of the planet, heading up various projects for the Group. Eager for a new adventure, he set off for Hong Kong in 2003 to take responsibility for the immense AsiaWorld-Expo construction site. “It’s a project that holds a special place in my memory,” he says. “In spite of the extreme complexity of operations, we managed to deliver it three months early!” Today, he is focusing on the new challenge of simultaneously managing the Civil Aviation Department headquarters and the imposing Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Building, which will be capable of berthing two super cruise liners. He sees himself primarily as a manager. “My role consists of bringing together the many areas of know-how required for projects on this scale, managing the budget, ensuring that everyone obeys the safety rules, to which I attach a lot of importance… and, of course, keeping the customers satisfied!” 45 RABO010_42-46_UK_BAT.indd 45 3/05/11 10:33:42 LOREM IPSUM CAREERS AND IPSUM CREATIONS Christophe Soisson Head of Production, PublicPrivate Partnerships, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France Carrying out projects as varied as the construction of a new endocrinology unit at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital for the Paris public hospital system or a university in Paris or rebuilding the Vincennes Zoo is all part of the daily challenge for Christophe Soisson’s teams. “When public bodies call us in, they know their own needs better than anyone,” he explains. “So we act as longterm partners, which enables us to develop efficient solutions which correspond to their public service missions, and at the lowest cost. To ensure that the buildings function for 25 years if not more and are capable of providing the services that users expect, we have developed a user culture and we commit ourselves to achieving levels of performance that are measurable.” A complete package with a personalised offer is made possible by the multi-discipline teams that finance, design, build, maintain and operate the sites. The benefits are cost control, time savings, quality… and innovation! “Our full service offering means that right from the design stage, we can incorporate original solutions that make all the difference by improving energy efficiency, for instance, and finding the trade-off between economic imperatives, user quality and sustainable development,” adds Christophe. 46 RABO010_42-46_UK_BAT.indd 46 3/05/11 10:33:43 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION PRECON CEPTIONS Stereotypes and preconceptions often die hard, especially in the construction sector. Here are three pieces of conventional wisdom that need to be set straight! 47 RABO010_47-50_UK_BAT.indd 47 3/05/11 10:34:55 PRECONCEPTIONS The construction industry is no place for a woman. FALSE Claire Albertelli-Cartalas Site manager at Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France Habitat Social F ollowing two internships with Bouygues Construction subsidiaries, I was hired by the Group as a site manager. I was attracted to the building and civil works sector because there is a lot of autonomy and responsibility. When I graduated from the Ecole Spéciale des Travaux Publics (ESTP), I naturally chose to stay in the Group. After eight years, I’m now managing six social housing construction sites. It’s fascinating work, because you follow projects from design through to handover, and you never have time to be bored. In the time I have been working, I have never felt hampered by the fact that I’m a woman. It’s of no consequence, because in this business, what really counts is your temperament. All those we deal with, whether internal or external, generally realise quickly that we have the same skills and the same energy as men. And it doesn’t take long to gain their trust. And I should also say that I don’t feel alone! In both commercial and operational functions there are more and more women, and quite a lot of the architects we work with are women. Mentalities are changing. We’re even beginning to see women taking jobs as site workers, as crane drivers for example. As far as promotion is concerned, I can attest to the fact that things happen normally. Some women progress faster than men, and vice versa. Once again, it’s skills and temperament that are sought and are encouraged. There’s no favouritism in one direction or the other. You have to be aware that, above all, Bouygues Construction is looking for people who are dynamic, well organised, level-headed and sensible. Those are the qualities that make the difference in good project management. It no longer matters at all whether you’re a man or a woman, thank goodness! 48 RABO010_47-50_UK_BAT.indd 48 3/05/11 10:34:55 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION If you come from a deprived neighbourhood you’ve no chance of joining a major group. FALSE Didier Rabiti Diversity Manager in the Bouygues Construction Human Resources department A lthough commonly accepted by quite a few people, this statement is totally false. Our sectors – construction, civil works, energy and services – offer genuine opportunities to people who don’t always hold the necessary qualifications. What’s more, Bouygues Construction is a group with an extremely wide-ranging training structure, one aspect of which takes the form of employees who act as mentors on construction sites and who welcome and train several dozen young recruits every year. Mentoring can work as an excellent training school! Through the diversity of the jobs we provide and our capacity for offering training, we are able to take on people from extremely varied backgrounds. To give you an example, in February 2008 the Group signed a partnership agreement with the EPIDe, an agency of the French armed forces, to assist vulnerable young people. Although they are unable to sign up to a traditional training scheme or find employment, EPIDe and the Group provide them with a framework that encourages social and professional integration and offers them prospects for the future. I can give you another eloquent example. Since starting work on the Millénaire shopping centre in Aubervilliers, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France has reserved 75% of on-site job vacancies for local people. The subsidiary has also awarded 3% of subcontracted work to social integration enterprises and neighbourhood social associations, and it has signed 35% of building and maintenance contracts with companies based in the local priority area. A work and training scheme leading to a qualification in form-working was introduced, enabling us to take on 15 young people on work-study contracts. Eight of these qualified for a diploma, three of whom have been hired on permanent contracts. With a very broad international footprint, Bouygues Construction carries out social integration and training initiatives in numerous other countries, including Cuba, Morocco, South Africa and Thailand. 49 RABO010_47-50_UK_BAT.indd 49 3/05/11 10:34:56 PRECONCEPTIONS Illegal labour is unavoidable in the construction industry FALSE Jean Marc Kiviatkowski General Counsel and Internal Control Director of Bouygues Construction T he finger of blame is often too rapidly pointed at the construction sector with regard to employing illegal immigrants. Sometimes we are even accused of knowingly hiring people with false immigration papers or papers that are not their own. What makes these accusations even more unfair is the fact that we have put in place a number of measures intended to stamp out all forms of illegal employment: • All our subsidiaries apply very strict control procedures. • They work in conjunction with the immigration authorities to ensure that any foreign-born workers they wish to hire hold fully compliant immigration documents. • They sign framework agreements with temporary employment agencies that incorporate specific clauses guaranteeing the immigration status of any foreign employees assigned to them. • They provide all site workers (employees, subcontractors and temporary workers) with a badge allowing access to the site. In spite of all our efforts, we are sometimes taken advantage of by employees whose documents are not in order, either because they have forged identity papers or they are using a false identity. We have only limited resources to carry out the necessary detective work, which is best left to the police. In any case, we can under no circumstance substitute ourselves for the authorities, with whom we work closely on these matters. Let me stress that Bouygues Construction has nothing whatsoever to gain, especially in financial terms, from employing illegal workers. We scrupulously comply with all employment legislations and pay all our taxes and social security contributions. Hiring illegal workers would leave us liable to severe penalties. Naturally, regular inspections are carried out on our construction sites throughout the year by the police, the social security authorities and the labour inspectorate. 50 RABO010_47-50_UK_BAT.indd 50 3/05/11 10:34:57 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Our entities Bouygues Construction is organised in major operating entities, specialising in specific regions and businesses. They constitute a vast network and carry out a large number of projects in France and many other countries. 51 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 51 3/05/11 10:37:51 OUR ENTITIES Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France The Paris region market leader in the construction sector, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France provides its customers with a comprehensive offering through the specialities of its operating units and subsidiaries: Rénovation Privée, Construction Privée, Habitat Résidentiel, Ouvrages Publics, Habitat Social and Brézillon (industrial civil engineering, environment and rehabilitation). Sodéarif and Élan, specialist property development and project management companies, round out the subsidiary’s offering. 1 THE “ZERO-ACCIDENT” POLICY Using the slogan “Health, Safety, I’m Involved!” the Bouygues Bâtiment Ilede-France safety policy is based on the zero tolerance principle with regard to breaching rules and taking risks, and on individual empowerment. It aims to create a radical change in behaviour, with a target of zero accidents. It is backed up by training programmes on health and safety issues for newly hired site workers and for site supervisors. 1 The Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris. 5,300 employees Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-deFrance offers its customers acknowledged know-how for new build or renovation projects, whether in public facilities, private commercial structures, housing or civil engineering. Its organisation according to specialities enables it to attain the level of expertise required to respond effectively to customers’ needs, whatever the scale and complexity of their projects. Following a 13% increase in 2009, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-deFrance’s sales rose further in 2010, to €1,943 million. Its strong results were driven in particular by continuing work on projects entailing stringent environmental standards, among them the renovation of the First Tower at La Défense, the largest HQE®certified renovation site in France, the construction of a shopping centre in Aubervilliers as part of an eco-community, and the construction of Green One, the future headquarters of Syndex, in the Pajol development zone in northern Paris, which will aim for both HQE® and BREEAM certification and the BBCeffinergie® low-consumption label. Other highlights of the year include the launch of site work at the National Archives in Pierrefitte-surSeine, Creil hospital and the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), a project financed in the framework of a publicprivate partnership. Several flagship projects were handed over in 2010, €1,943m of sales in 2010 including the Shangri-La and Royal Monceau hotels in Paris, the renovation of Jussieu University in Paris, and the construction of Australia, the new corporate headquarters of ETDE, which has been awarded the BBCeffinergie® label. On a commercial level, 2010 was characterised by a resilient performance in terms of ongoing business. Several noteworthy contracts were signed during the course of the year, including the refurbishment of the Vincennes Zoo, the construction of a hotel school for the Paris region in Guyancourt, two massive renovation projects for a celebrated Paris mansion (the Hôtel Lambert) and Haussmann-era office buildings on the ChampsElysées and the construction of the Palatis, an office complex in Montrouge, sold by Sodéarif on behalf of CNP Assurances. Among other contracts signed are the construction of the Parc de Tourvoie, a housing complex developed by Sodéarif in Antony, the construction of the Suresnes-Sentou ecocommunity, incorporating 600 homes, a school, a daynursery and a 700-space car park, and the refurbishment of 775 social homes for Paris Habitat OPH in northern Paris. Orders booked remained at the high level of €1,717 million, giving the company a favourable outlook. 52 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 52 3/05/11 10:37:53 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe consists of the Bouygues Construction subsidiaries operating in building and property development and established in the French regions and in the adjacent countries of Western Europe. With the aim of achieving more efficient customer service and boosting competitiveness, the scope of this entity was modified in January 2011. Its activities in engineering structures, post-tensioning and repairs to engineering structures have been grouped together and integrated into Bouygues Travaux Publics, while two subsidiaries serving western France have been merged to create Quille Construction. 1 2 A DAY TO COMBAT ADDICTIONS Anti-addiction initiatives are central to Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe’s health and safety policy. On October 13, 2010, the company assembled all the General Managers of its subsidiaries and more than 150 managers (HR, QSE, Works) to reinforce the key principles behind its approach. This necessarily entails carrying out widespread testing, but combines this with ensuring that any employees battling with alcohol or drug problems receive full support from the company. 1 Bourgoin-Jallieu hospital in France. 2 Housing development in Angers (France). 7,500 €2,496m The Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe subsidiaries (Norpac, Bouygues Belgium, Pertuy Construction, Losinger, Marazzi, GFC Construction, Acieroïd, DV Construction, Quille Construction, Bouygues UK and Warings), backed up by the Cirmad property development network, take charge of projects from the design and finance stage through to completion. Working in close proximity to their customers, they operate a policy of decompartmentalisation and synergy which has resulted in them grouping their material resources in a single department and setting up a common purchasing structure, networks of competence specialising in hospitals, universities, prisons, etc., and a joint training centre (the Pro Academy). In 2010, Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe’s markets were hit by the economic slowdown caused by the global financial crisis. In this lacklustre context, the company recorded solid sales of €2,496 million, down 10% compared with the high level achieved in 2009. Highlights of 2010 included the handover of several flagship projects, such as the Oxygène Tower in Lyon, the Metz engineering school, the Bourgoin-Jallieu hospital and the Firopa printing plant in Rouen, the first industrial facility in France to be awarded HQE® certification. In 2010, Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe also remained active in the construction of housing, public health facilities (Amiens-Picardie hospital, the new regional hospital in Orléans, etc.), prisons (Réau penitentiary, etc.) and educational and leisure amenities. The company began the construction of the Archives du Nord in Lille, which will be the first positive-energy public records building in France and will consume only 12 kWh/m2/year. Orders booked stood at €2,600 million, a rise of 8% compared with the previous year, boosted by two remarkable public-private partnership contracts. One of these covers the renovation and design of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille with operation and maintenance for 35 years and the development of a 100,000 m2 eco-community surrounding it; the other relates to the financing, design and construction of 63 works and maintenance centres for France’s interdepartmental roads authorities, associated with a 30-year maintenance contract. employees of sales in 2010 53 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 53 3/05/11 10:38:00 OUR ENTITIES Bouygues Bâtiment International A specialist in complex projects, Bouygues Bâtiment International operates in some twenty countries through a network of local subsidiaries or in the context of major contracts with high added value. With a capacity for technical and commercial innovation backed up by its experience in project finance and an extensive range of know-how, it designs and implements innovative solutions for all types of buildings, including hotels, luxury housing, exhibition centres, leisure facilities, offices, airports and schools. 1 THE ARTE SETS A NEW RECORD IN SINGAPORE! After the Tampines Grande and The Sail, both built by Dragages Singapour, The Arte has beaten all the records for Conquas ratings by the Singapore Building and Construction Authority, with a score of 96.2 points. The Conquas (Construction Quality Assessment) is a national indicator measuring the quality of construction projects and encouraging contractors to achieve higher standards. Completed in 2010, these two 36-storey towers have set a new benchmark for the private residential sector in Singapore. 1 Oguzkent Hotel in Ashgabat (Turkmenistan). 16,100 employees Bouygues Bâtiment International aims to provide its customers with the best solutions in terms of the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of their building projects, and seeks to establish a lasting relationship with them. In spite of the challenging international economic context, Bouygues Bâtiment International achieved an all-time record commercial performance in 2010. A strategy largely based on its capacity for rapid deployment enabled it to seize commercial opportunities in the most dynamic regions. More than double the previous year’s, orders booked stood at €2,992 million (up 136%). A major contribution to this achievement was the Barwa Financial District operation in Qatar, a huge property development project that includes nine office towers, a hotel and a shopping centre. The contract for the Singapore Sports Hub, the world’s largest public-private partnership in the sport sector, came into force. This project further illustrates the company’s commercial success: Bouygues Bâtiment International is responsible for designing and building the complex and providing facilities management for 25 years. It includes a 55,000-seat stadium, an aquatic centre and a multisports hall as well as shopping facilities, offices and exhibition spaces. €1,625m of sales in 2010 Among other contracts won in 2010 were the Cruise Terminal Building in Hong Kong, Phase 2 of the Tangier Port in Morocco, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police headquarters in Vancouver, and several contracts in both Turkmenistan and Singapore, where the company’s projects systematically receive awards for their quality and environmental performance (see far left). Business was steady in 2010. Sales of €1,625 million were recorded, 9% higher than the previous year. Highlights were the handover of the Sofitel and Oguzkent hotels in Morocco and Turkmenistan respectively, and the Broomfield and North Middlesex hospitals as well as six schools in the United Kingdom. In Thailand, the 73-storey and 43-storey towers of the residential complex, The River, were completed. Meanwhile, the purchase of a stake in the Leadbitter group in December 2010 strengthens Bouygues Bâtiment International’s positions in the United Kingdom and offers it new prospects for growth, benefiting from synergies with the other construction subsidiaries already operating in the United Kingdom, Bouygues UK and Warings. 54 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 54 3/05/11 10:38:09 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Bouygues Travaux Publics Operating both in France and on many international markets, Bouygues Travaux Publics specialises in underground works, complex civil engineering projects and engineering structures, as well as road, port and public transport infrastructure. With specialist expertise in large-scale project management and mastery of cutting-edge techniques, it focuses its development on highly technical operations with high added value. Since January 1, 2011, the civil engineering operations of Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe subsidiaries have been transferred into its scope, in the interest of overall performance, clarity on the marketplace and improved customer service. 1 THE TYNE TUNNEL WINS THE ECOSITE LABEL The Tyne Crossing site in England is the first Bouygues Travaux Publics international site to be awarded the Ecosite label. This in-house environmental label, launched by Bouygues Construction in 2010, guarantees customers that their project will be carried out with measures taken to protect the environment and local residents. To be eligible, site teams have to do such things as implement an ecovariant to allow the containment of polluted mud resulting from dredging and ensure that local residents are provided with detailed information on a daily basis by four team members. 1 EPR nuclear power plant at Flamanville (France). 4,200 €1,076m With sales of €1,076 million, Bouygues Travaux Publics experienced a busy year in 2010. At €1,038 million, orders were at a satisfactory level. As one of the Hong Kong region’s leading players in underground works, one of its specialist areas, the company won one contract for an 800-metre twin-tube tunnel for the metro and another to construct 8.5 kilometres of tunnels for the high-speed Hong KongShenzhen rail link. In terms of operations, 2010 saw the completion of a number of major projects. In South Africa, in time for the Soccer World Cup, the company delivered the first stretch of the Gautrain, an 80-kilometre rapid transport network system that, when completed, will link Johannesburg, Pretoria and OR Tambo international airport (the first stretch runs from the airport to Sandton). It is the fastest and most modern rail link in Africa. In Australia, meanwhile, Bouygues Travaux Publics handed over the Hale Street Link project, an operation that consisted of designing and building a viaduct crossing the Brisbane River in Queensland, along with a 225-metre access bridge. It also delivered the first stretch of a contract to widen 30 kilometres of the Istria motorway in Croatia, which the company originally built a decade ago. Among ongoing projects, Bouygues Travaux Publics continued the construction of the tunnel under the Tyne in Newcastle, United Kingdom, and the Olkiluoto EPR nuclear power plant in Finland. Working in conjunction with Bouygues Bâtiment International, it also started work on the Tangier Med 2 container port in Morocco. In Switzerland, its subsidiary PraderLosinger continued work on several major tunnels, including a 5-km tunnel in Zurich. In France, Bouygues Travaux Publics completed the widening of the A15 motorway and the construction of the Reims tramway. Works also got underway on the construction of a dam on the River Seine at Chatou, in the Paris region, and on an operation to upgrade the safety of the A14/A86 motorway tunnels beneath the La Défense business district. The company also pressed ahead on the construction of the Fréjus and Toulon tunnels, as well as the construction of the EPR nuclear power plant at Flamanville. employees of sales in 2010 55 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT2.indd 55 5/05/11 18:31:22 OUR ENTITIES VSL VSL is a leading specialist in post-tensioning, a technique for improving the load-bearing properties of concrete by incorporating high-tensile steel cables into structures, and then putting them under tension. Post-tensioning extends the potential of concrete applications in structures such as bridges, decks, floors and containment buildings. The company also specialises in cable-stay systems for bridges, an area of expertise in which it is a world leader. 1 THE VSL ACADEMY, A CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE Based in Bangkok, Thailand, the VSL Academy was created in 2008. The centre was originally dedicated to providing employees with theoretical and practical training in techniques of post-tensioning. In view of its success, though, its training programmes were expanded in 2010 to cover all the company’s areas of expertise: posttensioning, cable-stay systems, heavy lifting, VSoL® (retained earth), etc. Over 600 VSL employees from all over the world attended sessions in 2010. 1 Post-tensioning works on the Adnec Tower in Abu Dhabi. 4,000 €269m Operating around the world through a vast network of subsidiaries, VSL focuses its development on a policy of creating alliances for major civil engineering projects. Such alliances provide access to new markets through global solutions combining VSL’s know-how with that of its partners. By the same token, partnerships with companies operating in fields related to its own enable it to diversify its offer. Meanwhile, VSL consolidates its positions in its areas of excellence through an ambitious Research and Development policy, concentrating especially on developing post-tensioning systems, including the use of carbon fibres, and also on cable stays, with a particular focus on cable ties, for which VSL is one of the world’s leading players. VSL holds roughly fifty active patents, which enable it to offer its customers high added-value technical expertise. In a context that has seen the competition grow stronger, VSL notched up a good commercial performance in 2010. It took orders worth €343 million, a 14% improvement over the previous year giving the company bright prospects for future business. VSL positioned itself successfully on dynamic markets in Asia and the Middle East, winning several contracts in its various fields of expertise in Hong Kong, India, China as well as Abu Dhabi, for instance. VSL’s business was solid in 2010, with sales of €269 million. The company continued work on a number of major projects whether as subcontractor or as principal contractor, such as the foundations of the Central Reclamation in Hong Kong, the construction of the Baluarte Bridge in Mexico, the phased deconstruction and reconstruction under traffic of the Newmarket double viaduct in Auckland, New Zealand, post-tensioning works on a nuclear power plant in Russia or the posttensioning of 100,000 m2 of floors for the M&C Tower in Vietnam. The year was also marked by the handover of the second Gateway Bridge in Australia, six months ahead of schedule. employees of sales in 2010 56 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 56 3/05/11 10:38:16 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION DTP Terrassement DTP Terrassement specialises in linear works and high addedvalue terrestrial infrastructures. Operating in France and numerous other countries, the Bouygues Construction’s earthworks subsidiary offers a diversified range of skills applied to a variety of highly technical projects from small-scale local sites to the design and construction of roads, motorways, highspeed rail links and opencast mining operations. 1 AN UPSTREAM APPROACH TO BIODIVERSITY DTP Terrassement’s operations have considerable environmental impact. The company has therefore adopted a proactive approach with regard to the preservation of biodiversity to ensure that solutions are proposed as early as the bidding process which aim to offset the impact of projects by moving or recreating ecosystems whenever it is impossible to avoid or reduce environmental impact. To implement such solutions, DTP Terrassement has developed specialist skills in-house and works in partnership with specialised organisations such as Noé Conservation. 1 The Bata-Ayak Ntang motorway in Equatorial Guinea. 2,900 €276m The development of DTP Terrassement is based on a solid structure organised according to four types of operations: works in France, large-scale works abroad, public-private partnerships (PPPs) and concessions, and excavations of open-cast mines. The company possesses a fleet of more than 1,000 site machines and it is responsible for its own machine maintenance, which is a crucial benefit for operations on distant or isolated sites. DTP Terrassement has triple certification, consisting of ISO 9001 (quality), OHSAS 18001 (safety) and ISO 14001 (environment). It conducts an ambitious sustainable development policy, its key objectives being reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, optimised water consumption and the preservation of biodiversity (see left). Sales in 2010 totalled €276 million, while orders booked stood at €368 million. A slowdown in public expenditure led to reduced business activity in France. The main projects involved earthworks operations of various types, including quayside protection works at the Fos 2XL container terminal near Marseille, a 7-kilometre stretch of the RCEA network upgraded to dual carriageway, a logistics hub in Criquebeuf, a noise barrier at Laxou as part of a project to widen the A31 motorway and works on a future landfill facility in Vico, Corsica. In international activities, business was particularly buoyant in Africa. In Equatorial Guinea, DTP Terrassement designed a motorway linking Bata and Ayak Ntang (83 kilometres of dual carriageway) and carried out the works. In the capital, Malabo, DTP Terrassement won a new contract at the airport and continued with road building work in the Caracolas area and the construction of a golf course. Meanwhile, the company signed a contract to upgrade a road between Ndjolé and Médoumane in Gabon, continued with works to strengthen the RN5 in Burkina Faso and began the construction of roads between Nandeke and Mbere and between Garoua Boulai and Nandeke in eastern Cameroon. In addition, DTP Terrassement continued mining operations in Morila and Loulo in Mali, and in the context of its partnership with Randgold Resources, it signed a tenyear contract at the Tongon goldmine in Ivory Coast and a new seven-year contract at Gounkoto in Mali. This partnership, which establishes DTP Terrassement as Randgold’s exclusive subcontractor for mining operations, offers very substantial prospects for future years. employees of sales in 2010 57 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 57 3/05/11 10:38:22 OUR ENTITIES Concessions division The Concessions division manages Bouygues Construction’s shareholdings in concession companies. It also contributes know-how to the start-up of new projects to be operated as concessions, enabling the Group to deliver its competences in technical design, finance, legal affairs and construction. 1 THE REIMS TRAMWAY In a concession contract, several Group subsidiaries, in partnership with Alstom and Colas, were awarded the design, construction, financing, maintenance and operation of the Reims tramway. It is 11.5 km long, and includes 23 passenger stations and 3 car parks. The bus network is soon to be reorganised to interface with the tram route in order to optimise in-town travel. 98% of residents of Reims will live less than 500 m from a tram station or less than 300 m from a bus stop. The whole network will be operated by the concession company until 2040. 1 The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link (South Africa). 1,500 €309m Operating both in France and a number of other countries, the Concessions division is involved in managing a variety of infrastructure projects (motorways, tunnels, railways, tramways, bus networks, stadiums, etc). These generated receipts of €309 million in 2010. Several of the concessions saw significant developments during the course of the year. In South Africa, the first section of the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link (between OR Tambo international airport and Sandton) was brought into service in time for the kickoff of the FIFA World Cup. More than a million passengers were transported during its first three months in operation. In 2011, the 80-kilometre rail link will connect the airport, Johannesburg and Pretoria, and it will eventually carry 160,000 passengers per day. The concession company, Bombela, has also begun operating the bus network and the parkand-ride car parks associated with the infrastructure. In France, works on the Reims tramway were completed, and testing of the infrastructure began prior to the commercial launch. In parallel, the concession company, Mars, continued to operate the city’s bus network (see left). In Croatia, the first 28kilometre stretch of the project to add a second carriageway to the Istria motorway (out of a total of 95 kilometres) was handed over, and works began to extend it as a two-lane for a further 10 kilometres. All the works were carried out under traffic. In the United Kingdom, the construction of the second Tyne Tunnel continued in Newcastle as the concession company, TT2, was operating the existing tunnel. In South Korea, meanwhile, the new Busan container port, which will be Bouygues Construction’s first reference in the port concession sector, entered the final phase of construction, with 90% of the civil engineering now completed. Other infrastructure in the Concessions division portfolio continued to develop in 2010: the A41 and A28 motorways in France, the Stade de France, the Rostock Tunnel in Germany and Highway 2000 in Jamaica. employees of receipts in 2010 58 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 58 3/05/11 10:38:28 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION ETDE Working in close partnership with each of its customers, ETDE, the Energy and Services division of Bouygues Construction, designs, installs, maintains and operates energy solutions and local services that ensure the sustainable performance of infrastructure and amenities and enhance the quality of life for all. ETDE operates for public- and private-sector customers in the areas of energy, industry, the service sector, transport, the nuclear sector and telecoms. It is primarily active in Europe and Africa. 1 2 A SUSTAINABLE CONTRACT TO LIGHT UP LONGJUMEAU ETDE’s expertise in energy efficiency is at the core of its PPP contract for street lighting in Longjumeau. The company has undertaken to achieve energy savings of 35% and to use 100% green energy. Even the vehicles and cradles will be electric-powered. A carbon balance will be carried out every five years to ensure that these commitments are being met. 1 Installation of the fibre optic network in the Drôme and Ardèche départements. 2 Facilities management of Australia, the new ETDE headquarters, which is certified BBC-effinergie®. 12,600 employees ETDE is organised according to three main business areas (network infrastructure, electrical and HVAC engineering and facilities management), and recorded sales of €1,547 million in 2010. Orders booked rose sharply over the previous year to €2,017 million; the confirmation of several major public-private partnership (PPP) contracts is largely responsible for this increase. The network infrastructure business enjoyed a very busy year in 2010. ETDE won PPP contracts for street lighting in the towns of Thiais and Longjumeau as well as the Beaucaire-Terre d’Argence community of municipalities. In these operations, the company systematically commits itself to significantly reducing the customer’s energy consumption (see left). In the telecoms sector, ETDE was awarded two new PPP contracts to install and operate broadband networks in the departments of Hautes Pyrénées and Finistère. Outside France, the company pressed ahead with major projects in Congo (500 km of power lines between Pointe Noire and Brazzaville) and Mozambique, as well as Ethiopia, where it is upgrading the power network in Addis Ababa. ETDE won a contract to install a 100-kilometre highvoltage line in the north of Gabon, and one for a fourth high-voltage line in Finland. €1,547m of sales in 2010 Business in electrical, mechanical and HVAC engineering was also strong in 2010, particularly for major projects in separate work packages (electricity, HVAC engineering). ETDE strengthened its positions in the nuclear sector and in the maintenance of industrial sites (mail sorting facilities, etc.). The company also carried out operations in leading-edge sectors such as data centres, white rooms and hospitals, areas in which it possesses acknowledged know-how. The Facilities Management business focused its growth on strengthening its offers relating to sustainable development and energy efficiency. On major PPP projects, it follows in the path of Bouygues Construction, offering high added-value maintenance and service solutions that complement the Group’s construction offers. In particular, ETDE won a 20-year contract to maintain 63 works and maintenance centres for France’s interdepartmental roads authorities, as well as the facilities management contract for the Stade Vélodrôme in Marseille. It will also be responsible for facilities management at the Prime Tower in Zurich, the tallest office tower in Switzerland. 59 RABO010_51-59_UK_BAT.indd 59 3/05/11 10:38:30 LOREM IPSUM IPSUM 60 RABO010_60-61_UK_BAT.indd 60 03/05/11 10:57 RAPPORT D’ACTIVITÉ ET DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION Extra-financial indicators 61 RABO010_60-61_UK_BAT.indd 61 03/05/11 10:58 EXTRA-FINANCIAL INDICATORS Stakeholders As part of its sustainable development policy, Bouygues Construction has established the conditions for ongoing dialogue with its various stakeholders.

It is updated following consolidation of the previous year’s data and the comments of contributors. It specifies the methodologies to be used: definitions, methodological principles, units, calculation formulas, conversion factors. A dedicated space on the intranet site is used for downloading all the reporting tools. Sustainable development indicators are gathered, controlled and consolidated using Enablon, reporting software incorporating a workflow process. Scope of the consolidation In 2010, the scope “World” incorporated into Enablon covered 99% of Bouygues Construction’s consolidated sales (compared with 98% in 2009). Indicators relating to sales were calculated on this basis. The following entities did not consolidate data over their entire scope of operations: • Bouygues Bâtiment International: 97% of sales consolidated; • VSL: 83% of sales consolidated; • ETDE: 97% of sales consolidated. Since the Concessions division’s business is not consolidated financially, none of the indicators relating to revenues have been taken into account. Only social and community data concerning the Concessions division has been integrated into the report. Indicators linked to human resources cover all entities consolidated by the Group. Some of the social data was supplied by the Bouygues Construction central Human Resources department. has elaborated a reference framework of environmental, social and community indicators that enables us to monitor the progress we are achieving through the implementation of our sustainable development policy. The task force continues to work on improving the scope of indicators. Consolidation and control The data gathered is controlled and then confirmed by the Group’s operating units. Social indicators are confirmed by the central Human Resources department. The Sustainable Development department consolidates the data and checks it for consistency. Methodological limits The sustainable development indicators can entail methodological limits because of: • the representativeness of measurements and estimations carried out; • changes in definition that could affect comparability; • practical considerations of data reporting. Data relating to consortiums, partnerships and joint ventures When a project is carried out by a consortium including several Bouygues Construction companies, data relating to the project is reported only by the lead company of the consortium. When a project is carried out in the framework of a partnership or joint venture, data is reported in proportion to the sales recorded by the Bouygues Construction company in question.

The Entities and Operating units evaluate their own progress according to four levels and set themselves targets to reach by the end of the year. METHODOLOGY OF SELF-ASSESSMENT OF THE ACTITUDES POLICY This self-assessment process enables each structure to evaluate its own performance and to determine its own priorities among the core actions and the rate at which it will roll them out. Scope THE FOUR LEVELS OF PROGRESS In 2010, the scope of application of self-assessment according to the Actitudes frame of reference represented 100% of Group sales. The term “consolidated Bouygues Construction Group” refers to all entities and operating units excluding the Concessions division and economic interest groups, which are not included in the consolidation but are subject to specific monitoring. 42 actions constitute the common working basis for all the subsidiaries. Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Process A methodological guide for the Group was written in 2009 to set down the self-assessment process with regard to: • scope of application, • roles and responsibilities, • rules for awarding scores, • stages in the process, • the timetable. For the majority of entities, the score awarded corresponds to the average of scores assessed by the operating units composing them. For the others, the score combines assessments made in the field and appraisals made by the entity’s management committee. These methodological differences result in a degree of uncertainty. The field of non-applicable actions has to be defined and validated at the level of each entity. To better reflect the respective weight of the various entities, the scores are weighted by the sales of the entities. External verification Level 1 Lowest level of application (1) Since the Concessions division’s operations are not included in the consolidation on a financial level, its self-assessment scores are not consolidated at the level of Bouygues Construction, but are presented separately. Measures put into application Application of measures and monitoring with indicators Achieved 2010 Target 2011 Excellence or innovation to be shared Following four years of implementation, the Group decided to commission a further independent audit of implementation of the Actitudes policy. The audit procedure and conclusions are detailed on page 73. This audit, designed to be a follow-up audit, was carried out on a sample of four operating units for 2010, with a selection of six construction sites involving structural works. (1) For 31 actions of the 42 in the frame of reference, level 1 corresponds to no specific action having been undertaken. For 11 of the actions, it corresponds to occasional measures or measures on a limited scope having been undertaken. 70 RABO010_70-73_UK_BAT.indd 70 03/05/11 11:08 CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION RESULTS OF 2010 SELF-ASSESSMENTS A closer analysis reveals that the progression of scores higher than 2 is mainly situated between 2.5 and 3. The requirement to provide monitoring indicators to achieve level 3 often explains the difficulty of getting further than this, even if actions have been implemented. In 2010, 73% of operating entities’ scores were level 2 (measures put into application) or higher, and 24% of scores were level 3 (application of measures and monitoring with indicators) or higher. A breakdown of scores shows that there has been overall progress from 2009 to 2010: level 1 scores fell 16% compared to 2009, while scores higher than level 2 rose by 7%. This improvement reflects the continuing rollout of the Actitudes policy in the entities and operating units. With respect to the specific monitoring of the Concessions division (not included in the consolidation), it should be noted that 88% of the Concessions division’s scores in 2010 were level 2 (measures put into application) or higher, and 43% of scores were level 3 (application of measures and monitoring with indicators) or higher. BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION (SCOPE EXCL.

Only Theme 7 saw a slight fall in the weighted average. For the consolidated scope of Bouygues Construction, the overall average achievement was 2.37 out of 4 in raw terms, a 7% improvement over the 2009 figure (2.22). Weighting the scores by annual sales, which reflects the respective weight of the various entities, the overall average achievement for the Group stood at 2.6 in 2010 (compared with 2.5 in 2009). 2.50 2.44 2.73 2.20 2.07 2008 2009 2010 2008 Theme = 1 2.43 2.26 2008 2009 2009 2010 Theme = 2 2.51 2010 2.40 2.20 2.22 2008 2009 Theme = 3 2.41 2010 BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION - DATA WEIGHTED BY SALES OF ENTITIES (SCOPE EXCL.

It is the responsibility of the Sustainability Department of Bouygues Construction to establish the self assessment and the Criteria which are accessible from the group website. It is our responsibility, based on our controls, to provide a conclusion on the self-assessment according to the Actitudes frame of reference. Our controls were performed in accordance with the ISAE 3000 standards (International Standard on Assurance Engagements, December 2003). Our independence is defined by legal and regulatory texts as well as by our professional code of ethics. The conclusion presented hereafter concerns only the elements stated above and no other information or sustainable indicators of the 2010 Corporate Report. A higher level of assurance would have required more extensive controls. Nature and extent of our review To provide our conclusion, we conducted the following review: • We assessed the Criteria with regards to their precision, understandability, neutrality, completeness and relevance in relation to the issues of construction activities. • At Group level and at the level of the seven operating entities, we met with the persons in charge of the self-assessments. At these levels, we reviewed the deployment of Actitudes, carried out analytical procedures and verified, on a sample basis, the consolidation of the self-assessments. • A sample of four Units1 operating in six countries (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, France, Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Morocco), contributing to 4.4% of the Group’s consolidated turnover, was defined to cover the activities that had not been previously audited. For those units, we assessed the level of implementation, verified the understanding and application of the Criteria and carried out detailed tests, on a sample basis, to reconcile the self-assessments with the supporting documents. We also assessed the level of implementation of Actitudes in the field by conducting interviews on a selection of six construction work sites2. • We reviewed the presentation of the results and methodology provided on pages 70 to 72 of the report. Since the four operating units selected this year were not suffi ciently representative of the Group’s activities and geographical implantations in order for us to formulate a conclusion, our work is also based on the confidence established from the two previous fiscal year’s reviews. To assist us in conducting our work, we referred to the environment and sustainable development experts of our firm under the responsibility of Mr Eric Duvaud, partner in charge of our Environment and Sustainable Development Department. Information on the Criteria We wish to make the following comments on the Criteria: Relevance: • The Criteria’s structure detailed in seven themes and forty-two actions takes into account the main sustainable development issues of Bouygues Construction’s activities. • The weight of the six themes covering project design issues could be reinforced, the biodiversity protection issue could also be included within the Criteria. Regarding the Group activities that are not directly linked to building construction (Bouygues Travaux Publics, DTP Terrassement, Concessions division, ETDE), the Criteria could be adapted to better reflect the specificities of those activities. Completeness: in 2010, the understanding of the frame of reference improved thanks to a wider implementation of the Criteria in the less advanced operating entities. Understandability: the Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe entity clarified the rating rules for some actions which were difficult to understand or to interpret. This led to a higher precision of the self assessments; this best practice could be done by each entity in order to widespread this improvement to the rest of the consolidated reporting scope. Neutrality: we would like to draw the reader’s attention to the fact that since the rating scale goes from 1 to 4, and not 0 to 4, the arithmetical average is 2.5. The achievement of 2 rewards the implementation of practical measures. Precision: • The criteria defining the level of implementation of the self-assessment (operating unit, size of the construction sites, business support services) should be reviewed in the Criteria in order to make the consolidations at the different levels more reliable. • The internal controls carried out by the people in charge of the validation at the entity level could be reinforced for some of them. The Criteria could also specify the nature of the controls to be carried out, which data are to be checked and which internal control procedures are applicable at local level. Conclusion Based on our controls, nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe that the self assessment according to the Actitudes frame of reference has not been established, for fiscal year 2010, in accordance with the Criteria, in all material aspects.
