Interview
Sylvain Couthier, Chairman of ATF Gaia
What is the nature of
your partnership with
Bouygues?
S.C.: ATF Gaia specialises
in the management and
collection of professional
IT and electronic assets
at the end of their life
and has supported
Bouygues through every
stage of the process for
the last two years. The
partnership, which has
both environmental and
financial objectives, has
its origins in a genuine
desire on the part of the
Bouygues group. The Group
was looking for a partner
that would fit in with its
corporate culture and
values; it found us.
How does the partnership
work? What do you get
out of it?
It is a balanced
relationship; we work
hand in hand. Proposals
from both sides nourish a
continuous improvement
process in order to find
solutions to the problems
that arise. The partnership
has helped our company
to grow. We adapt our
services to meet Bouygues'
requirements, which may
be those of our future
customers. We had to
be innovative in order to
meet the expectations
of Bouygues and its
subsidiaries.
What are the most
recent features you have
developed together?
We have set up an intranet
for Bouygues to make it
easier to track equipment,
with traceability, data
removal and reporting
features. The interface

recycled, the buyback cost
and the carbon savings
generated. We will extend
the intranet to our other
customers. We have also
developed a website
on which Bouygues
employees can buy
reconditioned computers
online. It is currently in the
pilot phase with a limited
number of users.
Preserving biodiversity
Bouygues Construction and its subsidiaries have
entered into several partnerships with biodiversity
organisations, including Noé Conservation. Great
attention is paid to the preservation of ecosystems
on infrastructure projects (see Bouygues
Construction, Business activities and CSR).
Colas has also addressed the issue of biodiversity
for many years now. Far from being an ecological
desert, its quarries become niche environments
inhabited by endangered species which find
refuge and safety there. Colas is committed to
fostering and facilitating their presence and living
conditions on its production sites.
Environmental
management of
Group head offices
> Bouygues is able to offer
its customers the best that
sustainable construction has to
offer, because it applies ambitious
environmental standards to its own
office buildings.
The renovation of Challenger,
Bouygues Construction's
headquarters, is a case in point,
together with the construction and
exemplary management of other
Group head offices.
Addressing the issues of
sustainable development, these
buildings need the involvement of
staff in order to achieve optimum
energy performance. Australia, the
headquarters of ETDE at Montignyle-Bretonneux,
southwest of Paris,
and Ere Park, the headquarters of
Norpac, Bouygues Construction's
subsidiary in Lille, northern France,
are among the first corporate
head offices in France to obtain
BBC-Effinergie ® low-energy and
HQE ® High Environmental Quality
certification.
