A propos de BBI - Bouygues Bâtiment International

Our people, our most important resource

At the heart of our company, they represent nearly 10,000 talented individuals dedicated to transforming society for the better through life-changing sustainable buildings. Whatever their role – a member of our Executive Committee, a member of the Minorange, part of our specialised central engineering department or one of our knowledgeable local experts, they share common values that shape who we are and how we operate. These four values are at the core of everything we do: trust, simplicity, teamwork, and a pioneering spirit. Driven by great human and technical challenge, our people work tirelessly to deliver projects that leave the world in a better place for generations to come.

Our values

Respect

Respect is the absolute foundation of everything. Without it, there is no trust, no team, no future. We care for and value everyone -our clients, teams, colleagues and stakeholders. We champion transparency and honesty, and we stand by our word. Respect is the key to a collective that moves forward together, with high standards and mutual consideration.

Commitment

When we commit, it is a collective pact and an investment in everyone’s success. We invest in our customers, our teams, and our colleagues, and with our ethical approach and total transparency, we know we can count on our people and partners. This collective energy allows us to go further, to overcome any challenge, and deliver our exceptionally high standards. We commit 100% and we commit together.

Pioneering

We push boundaries, imagine what doesn’t yet exist, and dare to do what others won’t.
It’s about analysing, preparing, calculating risks, and anticipating challenges before taking on the adventure.
We innovate with ambition, and we find solutions. Great pioneers aren’t those who simply take a leap of faith and hope for the best — they shape their vision and ambition through intelligence, expertise, and boldness.

Sharing

We don’t believe in well-kept secrets. Each of us holds knowledge that can — and should — be shared. Sharing and guidance are fundamental to helping us all grow. This also ensures we don’t rely solely on a few experts, but on the strength of the collective. We pass on our knowledge so we can bring out the best in ourselves and in others.

The Guilds of the Minorange

Founded in 1963 by Francis Bouygues, the “The Minorange Guild” is an internal professional community that recognizes the best workers across Bouygues Construction for their expertise, diligence, and commitment on our construction sites. Why “Minorange”? It’s a shortened version of Bouygues’ iconic colour, MINinmum ORANGE, a rust inhibitor used on tower cranes. Members of the network are organized into different Guilds around the globe. Today, the Guilds represent the excellence of the Bouygues Construction group, embodying its culture and showcasing its technical expertise and leadership in safety.

With expertise including general construction work, carpentry and plasterwork, members of the Minorange are seen as the custodians of the profession. Passionate about the industry, they promote knowledge sharing across their networks and serve as ambassadors of safety, commitment, and personal development. The first Guild began with just 43 members in 1963. Now, there are 600 members across Bouygues Construction’s activities in France and abroad. Of the 15 Guilds that exist today, Bouygues Bâtiment International is proud to count 6 amongst its subsidiaries.
