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.

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.

OVERVIEW
Key data for
sustainable development
in 2010
Bouygues Construction launched its “Actitudes”
policy in 2007. 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.

OVERVIEW
Strategic priorities for growth
In all its businesses in France and abroad (building, civil works,
energy and services), Bouygues Construction increasingly operates within
the framework of end-to-end contracts (public-private partnerships or
concessions), which allow it to deliver high added value. 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.

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).

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).

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).

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).

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

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).

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.

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,

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.

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).

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).

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.

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%

QSE triple-certified

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

CEPTIONS
Stereotypes and preconceptions
often die hard, especially in the

pieces of conventional wisdom that
need to be set straight!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

€1,076m
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

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.

€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.

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.

€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.

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.

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.

€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.

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

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.

CORPORATE REPORT BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION
Methodological note
on reporting
Methodological procedures
In order to guarantee the uniformity of the indicators over the entire scope of the consolidation, a
methodological reporting guide has been issued
to all personnel involved in reporting the indicators. 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.
Choice of indicators
A task force consisting of a representative from
each entity of Bouygues Construction and directed by the Sustainable Development department

Self-assessment
of the Actitudes policy by entities
To facilitate deployment of the policy, a detailed frame
of reference specifies expectations for each of the 42 core
actions of Actitudes. 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.

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.

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. CONCESSIONS DIVISION)
The process can be seen as a good example of
continuous improvement, through the increasingly
frequent application of self-assessment at the
level of operating units, construction sites and
support functions and by an ever-growing mastery
of the methodology.

LEVEL OF IMPLEMENTATION PER THEME
In 2010, the level of implementation rose for six
themes covered by the Actitudes frame of reference, and in particular the themes concerning
customers, risks and the management of subcontractors. 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).

dated October 2009 (“the Criteria”).
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.
