Bouygues Construction, headquartered in France, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing its carbon emissions. The company has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% by FY2030, using FY2021 as the baseline. Additionally, Bouygues Construction aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions—covering various categories such as purchased goods, capital goods, and waste—by 30% per square metre of buildings constructed within the same timeframe. Furthermore, it plans to cut remaining absolute Scope 3 emissions by 20%. As of the latest available data, Bouygues Construction has not disclosed specific emissions figures for recent years, but historical data indicates a trend of emissions per € million of consolidated sales, with values of approximately 3.02 kg CO2e in 2013, 3.78 kg CO2e in 2012, and 3.9 kg CO2e in 2011. These figures reflect the company's operational efficiency in relation to its revenue. The company's climate targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified under the 1.5°C pathway, demonstrating a commitment to limiting global warming. Bouygues Construction is also working towards achieving near-zero emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by the middle of this decade (2025). It is important to note that the emissions data and targets are cascaded from its parent company, Bouygues SA, which oversees the broader corporate family’s sustainability initiatives.
