Bouygues Construction

Bouygues Construction, a French construction company, has set ambitious climate targets. While specific carbon emissions data for recent years are not available, the company's commitments are clearly defined.

Bouygues Construction aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by FY2030 from a FY2021 base year. Additionally, it has committed to reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and the use of sold products, by 30% per square metre of buildings constructed within the same timeframe. The company also commits to reduce remaining absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 20% within the same timeframe. These Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

Beyond these SBTi targets, Bouygues Construction has internal targets to achieve near-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the middle of this decade (2023-2025). Furthermore, it aims for a 40% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, and a 30% relative reduction in Scope 3 emissions for buildings, and a 20% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions for public works, by 2030.

Bouygues Construction's SBTi commitments are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Bouygues Construction SA, through a corporate family relationship.
