Our Social Commitment v
Heading: The Bouygues Way
 Subheading: Our Ethics & Social Initiatives

The Bouygues Group has created an Ethics and Sponsorship Committee responsible for ensuring Group values and codes of conduct are respected, and for providing a focus in regards to the different events for which Bouygues’ sponsorship is solicited.

Bouygues plays an active part in the economic and social development of each region in which it operates, through economic action, support for social activities and medical, humanitarian and social sponsorship initiatives. In the UK initiatives include:

  • “Kids as Designers” at Eastbury Comprehensive School
  • setting the curriculum at Jo Richardson Community School, supporting the teachers in presenting the pupils the benefits of secondary vocational studies. This has led to a new GCSE course in Built Environment.
  • charitable support for Health Unlimited
  • support of client charities such as The Mulberry Centre cancer unit at West Middlesex University Hospital
  • initiatives tied to current projects such as SK8TOPIA, the wheel park at Jo Richardson Community School, Dagenham
  • sponsorships to achieve specialist college status
  • support the Lord Mayor of Westminster charity (2006: Westminster MIND)

For almost 20 years, the Bouygues group has been committed to providing corporate support for humanitarian, social and cultural initiatives as well as sponsoring sports events.

The Group primarily provides support for humanitarian, medical and social initiatives and for arts and culture, whereby precedence is given to proposals submitted by employees. The major subsidiaries pursue their own social investment policy.

Case Study:
  • Mother and Child Hospital in Kabul
  • Acanthe - an association founded by parents of autistic children to help those affected by psychological disorders since childhood to reach their potential
  • SOS Accueil - an association that Bouygues has supported since 2001 by contributing to the rehabilitation and maintenance of its day-refuge centre for homeless people in Versailles, France
Social Investment
  • Rebuilding of Baan Nam Kem School in Thailand which was devastated by the tsunami in December 2004. The school was entirely rebuilt in just ten months by Bouygues Thai . The project was co-financed by Bouygues SA, Bouygues Construction, EDF and Carrefour
  • the Francis Bouygues Corporate Foundation, which each year awards grants to approximately thirty young French school-leavers in order to finance their higher education for between four to six years
  • Scouts and Guides of France - a three-year partnership has been established between this association and Bouygues in order to improve the facilities at their Jambville training centre as well as offer practical assistance with various activities
