A N N U A L R E P O R T - Bouygues

BOUYGUES TELECOM
attracted some 5,000 people to stands
manned by volunteers from the Club
Objectif Soleil.
■ Suppliers
Bouygues Telecom has informed over
200 suppliers of its membership of the
UN Global Compact, and over 80% of
them have said they are willing to support
the company in its commitment.
The company is gradually introducing
specific requirements arising from
compliance with Global Compact principles
into its calls for tender and
contracts.
In addition, a detailed questionnaire
has been sent to a targeted panel of
thirty or so suppliers to find out their
attitude towards sustainable development
and what action they envisage
taking jointly with Bouygues Telecom.
■ The community
For the fifth year in succession
Bouygues Telecom attended the 2005
Mayors and Local Authorities Fair, an
opportunity for the company to present
its environmental and social initiatives,
to which local elected officials
are particularly sensitive.

and processes, more operationally
effective cross-cutting procedures,
and greater individual empowerment.
Social dialogue
The high turnout for elections at
Bouygues Telecom (80% in
2002, 84% in 2004) confirms
the extent of employees’
involvement in corporate
life and their interest in social dialogue.
Several collective agreements were
concluded in 2005:
• a doubling of the average company
contribution to complementary
health cover,
• new ways of providing support for
internal mobility (transfers between
the regions and Paris),
• a profit-sharing agreement,

• an agreement on social dialogue
and the resources available to staff
representatives,
• a special effort for the lowest paid
during annual wage negotiations.
Events
In 2005, Bouygues Telecom provided
information about its environmental
and social initiatives at
meetings attended by particular categories
of staff and during Sustainable
Development Week, which was a great
success at the company’s 11 main sites
(1,168 handsets were collected and 400
quizzes completed).
As part of the Earth Challenge initiative,
the company organised three
“green days” on the themes of water,
air and energy with the aim of encouraging
employees to commit to one of
the three “green actions” promoted
on the occasion. The three events
