RESPONSIBLE RESOURCES

Consumable site items, outdoor and indoor carpentry, wood structures, terraces and furnishing: visible or not, wood is a prominent element of work in buildings and public works. As part of its drive to reduce its carbon footprint, the Bouygues Construction group will be buying more and more wood products to supply its construction sites.

WWF France is supporting Bouygues Construction during the implementation of a system to reduce negative impact risks in respect of its wood supplies on forests around the world, those that depend on those forests, and the biodiversity hosted by those forests.

 

Achievements and solutions

The new ParisLongchamp horse racing track completed by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France is a response to the modernisation requirements of major sports and leisure infrastructures. The ipe wood of the grandstand benches at the Jockey Club is 100% FSC, a certification that is designed to promote responsible forest management. 

 
STAKING A LOT ON WOOD

Several FairWood training modules have been designed with a view to raising awareness among workers on the Group's commitment to sustainably managed forests. Buyers and designers benefit from a module dedicated to training users in responsible wood recommendation and sourcing. 
FAIRWOOD, THE MOOC

Wood can be found pretty much everywhere in our buildings, and this purchasing guide to sustainable wood explains responsible purchasing in detail. It is given to staff at Bouygues Construction Purchasing.
