Bouygues Construction is launching its site environmental initiative "Ecosite"
To mitigate the environmental impact of its sites, Bouygues Construction has set environmental standards that are common to all its subsidiaries and adapted to all its businesses. Their respect is awarded by an environmental label: Ecosite.
- A Environmental standards guide
- An evaluation grid
- An environmental label
Adapted to all our businesses, the Site environmental standards collate recommendations to preserve the environment, examples of best practices and proposals of eco-equipment, set around 11 themes :
- Project's environmental risks assessment
- Waste
- Hazardous products
- Noise nuisances
- Air
- Aquatic environment
- Biodiversity
- Energy consumption
- Cleanliness and storage
- Communication
- Emergency situations
Indispensables actions are highlighted and must absolutely be respected to obtain the label. An evaluation grid is used to check the implementation of actions recommended in the environmental standards guide based on the 11 themes. More than 60 evaluation criteria were identified, graded according to three levels of performance.
An environmental label, Ecosite, is awarded based on results obtained from the above evaluation. The audit to obtain the label is carried out generally the progress of site is between 15 and 25%. It is performed by a team that is independent from the site (Quality Safety Environmental department). Follow-up audits are carried out to ensure that the criteria are adhered to throughout the duration of works.
