Sustainable development
The Bouygues group's Sustainable Development &
QSE Department heads a number of Group-wide
committees in addition to overseeing traditional
functions. The role of the committees is to inculcate
the principles of sustainable development more
effectively through shared resources, best practice
and specific events, and to coordinate initiatives
on specific cross-disciplinary issues.
The Group has devised and implemented a reporting
system that gives account of its performance to
stakeholders. The system covers all components
of the Group's management, whether financial,
business, HR-related, social or environmental.
The Bouygues group uses a shared non-financial
reporting software tool to gather and consolidate
CSR performance indicators.
Green IT
Green IT aims to reduce the environmental footprint
of information and communication technologies
(ICTs). It offers a way of taking the energy requirements
and energy costs of ICT equipment into
consideration, including both the equipment itself
and how it is used.
In 2011, the Green IT committee drew up a white
paper setting out measurement and performance
indicators common to all subsidiaries. They cover
the following areas: workstation energy management,
data centre consumption, printing, hardware
recycling, video-conferencing and working from
home. Indicators of financial cost and CO 2
emissions
are defined, measured and consolidated in
order to provide the basis for actions plans in 2012.
