Significant gapsPending Review

Bouygues discloses emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 with SBTi-validated targets across all six business segments, but undermines credibility with intensity-based Scope 3 targets on buildings instead of absolute reductions. Critical gaps in water management, nature strategy, and renewable energy adoption. Material bid-rigging fine in 2023 and historical labor violations.
