However, specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. Bouygues Construction's climate initiatives are part of a broader strategy to achieve net-zero emissions, with specific targets for both near-term and long-term reductions. The company is a member of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which underscores its commitment to aligning its emissions reduction targets with the latest climate science. The data and commitments are cascaded from its parent company, Bouygues SA, reflecting a corporate family relationship that supports Bouygues Construction's sustainability goals.
