Bouygues S.A. (French pronunciation: [bwig]) is an industrial group headquartered in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. Bouygues is listed on Euronext Paris exchange and is a blue chip in the CAC 40 stock market index. The company was founded in 1952 by Francis Bouygues and since 1989 has been led by his son Martin Bouygues.

The group specialises in construction (Colas Group and Bouygues Construction), real estate development (Bouygues Immobilier), media (TF1 Group), and telecommunications (Bouygues Telecom).

History

The company was founded by Francis Bouygues in 1952.[3] In 1970 Bouygues became listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.[3] In 1985 and 1986 Bouygues acquired road construction groups Screg, Sacer and Colas;[note 1][4] later reorganised as Colas Group.[3][5] In 1987 the company started operating the television channel TF1[3] and in 1988 Bouygues moved into its new head office, the Challenger complex, in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines.[3] In 1996 the company launched Bouygues Télécom[3] and in 2006 the company acquired 23.26% of Alstom.[3] In 2010, through its subsidiary Nerem Telecom, Boygues also acquired HGT Telecom for $170 million from Henri Benezra and his brother Avi.[6]

In 2014, consecutively to Alstom's cession of its Energy activities to General Electric, Bouygues granted a call option to the French government allowing it to acquire a maximum of 20% of Alstom, currently owned by the group.[7]

The American architect Kevin Roche worked on this building, as well as the previous head office location, the Challenger complex in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

Controversies

Flamanville

Between 2009 and 2011, Bouygues S.A. was illegally employing workers from Poland and Romania exposing them to inhuman working conditions at the construction site of the Flamanville nuclear power plant in Normandy, France. The company was later condemned for their practices before the court in Cherbourg and was ordered to pay sanctions.[37]

Cyberattack on Bouygues Construction SA

On 30 January 2020 a ransomware-type virus was detected on Bouygues Construction's computer network although operational activity on the construction sites was disrupted. The "Maze Ransomware Gang" claimed responsibility for the attack and posted a 1.2 GB file that allegedly contained data taken from Bouygues Construction.[38]

Notes

  1. ^ Colas became a direct subsidiary of Bouygues in 2000, after a share swap made Bouygues the direct owner[3]
