It is chaired by Edward Bouygues, Deputy CEO of the Group, and brings together Sustainable Development Directors tasked with monitoring the application of the roadmap. This subject matter is also overseen within Bouygues SA, the parent company, by the Ethics, CSR and Patronage Committee, which meets several times per year to review these three themes on behalf of the Board of Directors (see chapter 2 of this report). In 2021, this committee monitored implementation of the Group Climate strategy. The Board of Directors is also kept up to date on environmental issues, which are overseen by a director specially appointed to oversee this task. Group executives and top managers are also kept regularly informed through Group Management Meetings targeting specific issues. The Climate strategy is also administered at business-segment level, tailored to each one's features."
