III. STRATEGY

Following strong commercial results in 2008, Bouygues Construction is maintaining the same four strategic prioritiesfor development in 2009, all of them complementary to its core businesses: electrical contracting and maintenance,

property development, public-private partnerships (PPPs) and infrastructure concessions, and growth in Europe.

1/ Electrical contracting / maintenance

The numerous businesses constituting the electrical contracting and maintenance sector (utility networks, electrical,mechanical and HVAC engineering, facilities management, telecoms infrastructures, etc.) provide the Group withcomplementary business cycles that generate recurrent revenue. Five new companies have been acquired since2006, including Mibag (acquired in 2007), one of Switzerland’s leaders in property maintenance and services. Mibagconstitutes ETDE’s largest single acquisition in Europe since 2005. The external growth strategy has enabled ETDEto both extend its geographical network and gain new technical skills, allowing it to offer its customers an increasinglycomprehensive range of services. ETDE has acquired fifty-five companies since 2001. The company delivered thelargest European public broadband network as a delegated public service contract in the Limousin region.

2/ Property development

In 2008, Bouygues Construction’s property development operations, made up of a network of some 350professionals, recorded sales of more than €1 billion. Property development subsidiaries Sodéarif (Paris region),Cirmad (French provinces, Spain and Belgium) and Losinger and Marazzi in Switzerland, along with specialist teamsforming part of Bouygues Bâtiment International, offer their customers comprehensive services, including finance,construction, operation and management with support from subsidiaries specialised in facilities management(Exprimm) and asset management (Advalys). Thanks to the network’s skills and expertise, the property developersare able to offer their customers a wide range of products such as service apartments, logistics hubs anddevelopment operations. Highlights of 2008 included the renovation of student accommodation at the ÉcolePolytechnique and the signature of the contract to construct the future headquarters of ETDE in Montigny, a low-consumption building (with an Effinergie low-consumption label), on which works were launched in March 2009.The Group operates an investment fund dedicated to medium-size PPP projects, Challenger Investissement. It hasalready enabled several contracts to be agreed. In addition, Bouygues Construction has joined forces with asubsidiary of Santander (the Spanish banking group) to create the Erestone fund, which will finance HQE (HighEnvironmental Quality) office buildings partly intended to accommodate Bouygues Construction subsidiaries. Theproperty development arm of the Group is well equipped to respond rapidly and efficiently to market developmentsand to satisfy the needs of its customers.




3/ Public-private partnerships / Infrastructure concessions

A form of long-term contract that is rapidly gaining ground, PPPs enable a public authority to call in a private-sector partner to finance, design, build, maintain and operate a project in return for a rent or toll. PPPs and concessionsmean that customers have only a single organisation to deal with and can keep control of overall costs, reduceconstruction time and be guaranteed top quality service. Bouygues Construction has become a major in contracts of this type, both in France and on international markets thanks to its high capacity for mobilising multi-disciplinary

teams. On numerous occasions, several subsidiaries have joined forces for the construction and long-termmaintenance of structures. Several significant contracts were signed in 2008, including the new Busan port in SouthKorea, Broomfield hospital in the United Kingdom, the Trinidad and Tobago rail link and Vancouver hospital inCanada, as well as three prison complexes in France.In the meantime, works are continuing on the Cyprus airports, the Gautrain rail line in South Africa and Caen hospital.

4/ Business development in Europe

International growth is strategically important for Bouygues Construction for several reasons:•

The need to avoid dependency on a single market because of the cyclical nature of the construction and civilworks industry.• Greater knowledge of international markets will assist in anticipating change.• Rewarding career opportunities for employees.

Europe remains an attractive target for expansion, particularly because of the needs of countries that have recently joined the EU, for instance in terms of infrastructures. The Group acquired several large companies in 2007:

• Warings, in the United Kingdom (building, 2008 sales €123 million), which added a capacity for small-scaleoperations as a useful addition to the Bouygues UK strategy, focused on PFIs and major projects (hospitals,schools and housing).

• Mibag, in Switzerland (facilities management, 2008 sales €60 million).• Karmar, in Poland (building, 2008 sales €107 million).

Business development has also resulted from the organic growth of international subsidiaries. In the United Kingdom,for example, Bouygues UK has signed two major new contracts, for a group of schools and a social housing complex.




IV. AREAS OF EXPERTISE

The complementary nature of the know-how present in its network of companies and functional departments allows

the Group to play a key role in the three main stages of the value-creation chain (design, construction and operation).It is positioned as one of the world’s leading players in certain types of projects (skyscrapers, tunnels, hospitals, luxuryhotels and nuclear power plants).

1/ Public-private partnerships and infrastructure concessions

Bouygues Construction has developed acknowledged expertise in PPP operations, thanks largely to a considerablenumber of PFI (Private Finance Initiative) contracts won in the United Kingdom in the past ten years. The Group’sability to direct design-build projects and its expert legal law and financial engineering skills, along with its full-serviceoffer, particularly in the field of facilities management once the building or structure has been handed over, combine tomake it one of the world’s pre-eminent players in contracts of this type.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include: the Gautrain rail link (South Africa), the Masan Bay bridge and Busan port (South Korea), the A41 and A28 motorways (France), prison complexes (France), the Bourgoin-Jallieu hospital (France), Highway 2000 (Jamaica),the Istria motorway (Croatia) and Broomfield hospital (United Kingdom).

2/ Project development

Bouygues Construction puts together property, financial and legal packages for all types of public and privateconstruction projects (office blocks, social housing, industrial premises, public amenities, transport infrastructures,etc.). The Group also provides a wide range of services in the form of multi-year contracts.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include: police stations and gendarmerie headquarters (including Voiron, Meyzieu and Montereau-Fault-Yonne), Hôtel de la Villette (Paris) and the Porte des Poissonniers development (Paris).

3/ Skyscrapers

A leading player in skyscraper construction for more than 30 years, Bouygues Construction has acquired highlyspecialised expertise in these types of projects. After building a number of towers in Paris-La Défense, the Group hasbeen involved in several other major projects, particularly in some of the world’s most prestigious internationalbusiness districts.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include: Vista Tower (Paris-La Défense), T1 Tower (Paris-La Défense), First Tower (Paris-La Défense), Oxygène Tower (Lyon), Sail@Marina Bay Towers (Singapore), Prime Tower (Switzerland) and the International Waterfront (Trinidad and Tobago).

4/ Tunnels

Bouygues Construction has been involved in a considerable number of tunnel projects. In China, the Group recentlyconstructed the world’s widest tunnels (15.43 m), breaking its own world record for tunnel width, set in 2005 in theNetherlands (a tunnel on the Brussels to Rotterdam and Amsterdam rail link). The Group constantly innovates in thisfield; it has patented a number of technologies, including the Timby process, which can be used to construct a tunnelon the seabed.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include: tunnels for the A41 motorway (France), Chong Ming tunnels (China) and the New Tyne Crossing in Newcastle (United Kingdom).




5/ Healthcare sector

The healthcare sector presents genuine commercial opportunities, and allows Bouygues Construction to carry outdevelopments of very great complexity. These demanding, technical projects give the Group the opportunity to deliver its know-how by combining a range of internal skills.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include the Bourgoin-Jallieu, Caen, Vesoul and D’Estaing (Clermont-Ferrand)hospitals in France and the West Middlesex, Central Middlesex and Broomfield hospitals in the United Kingdom.

6/ Luxury hotel sector

Bouygues Construction has acquired substantial expertise in building and renovating luxury hotels. The Group hasmany prestigious references in France to its credit (including the renovation of the majority of luxury hotels in Paris),along with a significant number of luxury hotel complexes in other countries, especially in the Caribbean (Cuba, Turksand Caicos), Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

The main projects under construction or recently handed over include: George V (Paris), Fouquet's Barrière (Paris), Shangri-La (Paris), Royal Monceau (Paris), several luxury hotel complexes (Cuba), Hyatt (Ekaterinburg, Russia) and Ritz-Carlton (Dubai, United Arab Emirates).

7/ Nuclear sector

With a number of major references in French nuclear facilities (Flamanville 1 and 2, Chooz, Haut Bugey, Saint Alban,Laser Mégajoule, etc.) and some flagship projects currently under way, Bouygues Construction is a prominent player in building and decommissioning nuclear power plants in France and other countries. The Group is in the process of carrying out the civil works for the world’s first two EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) plants, at Olkiluoto (Finland)and Flamanville (France). In September 2007, in partnership with Vinci, it won the contract to build a new safeconfinement shelter for the Chernobyl nuclear reactor (Ukraine).

The main projects handed over or under construction include: a large number of nuclear power plants currently operating in France, the OlkiluotoEPR (Finland), the Flamanville EPR (France) and the new safe confinement shelter for the Chernobyl sarcophagus (Ukraine).




V. RESEARCH& DEVELOPMENT / INNOVATION

Innovation and R&D provide the Group with genuine commercial added value and increase its competitiveness. Eachof the entities operates its own R&D programme. They primarily focus their research on such themes as improving

materials and site equipment, safety, construction quality, making tasks less arduous and reducing environmentalimpact.Not only does Bouygues Construction stimulate innovation and R&D within its entities, it also directs a cross-companyR&D programme. The R&D Committee defines Group-wide research topics and promotes knowledge-sharing byselecting R&D topics and innovations of common interest across entities.

1/ An annual cycleAll initiatives undertaken at both Group and entity level form part of an annual cycle that makes it possible to create along-term innovation strategy. AnR&D forumis organised at Group level every two years, alternating with the GroupInnovation Competition . This event is attended by several hundred Group employees who come to share their experience. To build on this success and promote further interaction between the various populations, the first"Innovation Encounters" were set up in November 2007 with the aim of enabling specific topics to be studied indepth, such as positive-energy consumption buildings, the sustainable construction index, robotics, concrete, etc.

Bouygues Construction inaugurated the Materials Engineering Centre in December 2007. It carries out R&D andinnovation on materials and processes, furnishes technical assistance to the various entities during the preparation of bids and during projects, and provides training.In 2008, a Sustainable Construction structure was created, intended to supply expertise to the Group’s technicaland sales departments.

2/ Achievements and strategyIn 2008 and 2009, the cross-company programme focused in particular on the following topics:

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION - Evaluation of housing operations in terms of overall cost: positive-energy housing, eco-friendly products andequipment, etc.- A new method of calculation for carbon audits applied to all building projects as of early 2009.- Performance guarantee (commitments on consumption) and air permeability (measurement campaigns) for allnew office and housing construction projects.- Design and construction of low-consumption buildings: the Puca award-winning Tikopia® concept building, ETDEheadquarters in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, the Nord Departmental Archives in Lille.- Supply of eco-friendly products and equipment by the Equipment and Purchasing structures (washing units for concrete buckets, electrically operated water valve to prevent on-site leaks, etc.). Some of these products andequipment were designed by Group employees and won prizes in an innovation competition.

PRODUCTIVITY, ROBOTISATION AND ERGONOMICS

- Design and production of four robots (a plane, a drill, a perforator and a form cleaner), in conjunction with anumber of bodies and research laboratories.- Studies under way for the development of further robots to automate certain repetitive operations of concretingand supply.- Development (in partnership with Bertin) of a drone for use in inspecting certain structures (e.g. high voltagepower pylons).- Acoustic measurements and ergonomic design studies for housing performed using dedicated software thatmodels sites in 3-D:Oasis and Silens .

VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTION - Testing collaborative working software and processes on 3-D models.




STANDARD AND POST-TENSIONED CONCRETE - A joint research programme with Lafarge on the use of insulating concrete in facades (Thermedia 0.6 B)- Optimisation of concrete durability and shuttering times- Production of a full-scale sample of concrete post-tensioning.

COMPUTERISED PRODUCTION - Development of a plotter and a measurement tool for monitoring data of buildings and bridges.- Complete computational software chain for analysing the life cycle of buildings.

TUNNELS AND GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS

- Application of instrumented disk cutters on tunnel boring machines; new soil-freezing techniques; real-timemeasurement of tunnel subsidence.- Development of a similar programme to survey subsidence of railway lines.

ELECTRICITY AND TELECOMS - Patent filed for a concrete VHV pylon.- Sustainable construction / energy management: development of Hypervision , an operational supervisor for energies and services of buildings operated by Exprimm (a subsidiary of ETDE specialising in facilitiesmanagement).




VI. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Bouygues Construction launched its sustainable development policy in 2007. This policy organises and strengthensthe initiatives taken by the Group’s subsidiaries in terms of social and environmental responsibility. It consists of seven key themes which constitute a common working basis for all Bouygues Construction entities.

1/ Seven key themesTheme 1 - Foster a trusting relationship with our customers, based on consideration, transparency and innovation.Theme 2 - Incorporate risk into the day-to-day management of the company.Theme 3 - Lead our business sectors in terms of occupational health and safety.Theme 4 - Develop our employees’ skills and promote equal opportunityTheme 5 - Establish balanced, long-term relationships with our partners, suppliers and subcontractorsTheme 6 - Ensure that our businesses respect the environment.Theme 7 - Participate in the economic and social life of the regions in which we operate.

2/ A commitment to our customers and partnersBouygues Construction strives to establish balanced, trusting relationships with its customers, partners andsubcontractors.

• Widespread use of independent external organisations for customer satisfaction surveys to ensure freeexpression by participants.

• Partnerships for progress with subcontractors. Bouygues Construction appends a “sustainable developmentcharter” to its contracts. Subcontractors are thus expected to abide by the Group’s procedures with regard toworking standards, health and safety, and environmental protection.

• Organisation of conventions for our partners and subcontractors in order to involve them in our Quality, Safetyand Environment initiatives (meetings, task forces, training, etc.).

• Responsible purchasing policy: Bouygues Construction has compiled a database of products and equipmentassessed in terms of eco-performance, including precast units, vehicles, external joinery, etc. It is regularlyupdated.

3/ Social commitmentBouygues Construction strives to remain a leader in terms of safety, to develop the skills of its employees, and toparticipate in the economic and social life of the regions in which it operates.

• All Group structures have measurable safety targets in place.• Safety training for site workers, leading to the award of a “building permit”.• Training in equal opportunities for recruitment managers and operational personnel.• Agreement with EPIDe (an insertion agency run by the French armed forces).• “Handicap Plus” programmes to improve the comfort of disabled people in the buildings, going beyond

regulatory requirements.• Schools and clinics built and water supply points made available in proximity to international construction sites

(e.g. Thailand, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, etc). Bouygues Construction focuses its actions on workopportunities, education and public health.

4/ Pro-environmental commitmentThe construction industry is responsible for consuming 40% of the planet’s natural resources. BouyguesConstruction’s R&D initiatives focus on consuming less, more efficiently and with lower carbon emissions.

• A specialist unit for Sustainable Construction was set up in June 2008, covering the energy efficiency of buildings, overall cost, the use of renewable energies, etc. It relies upon partnerships with key players in thesector, such as architects, engineering offices, materials producers, etc.

• Rollout of Projection, a software tool to evaluate the sustainable development performance of buildingprojects. It is intended to encourage customers to adopt environmentally and economically optimal solutions.

VII. HIRING AND RETAINING PERSONNEL

To keep pace with demographic change, Bouygues Construction needs to take on and retain new personnel.8,000 people were hired in 2008, following a period of sustained growth. Although the number of people to be hired

has fallen as a result of the economic slowdown, it remains positive overall, with approximately 1,500 people to berecruited in 2009.

To promote a greater international component in its workforce, the Group set up the Europe Club in 2003.Membership is voluntary, and now stands at roughly one hundred young employees of at least 15 nationalities(Spanish, Swiss, Belgian, British, German, etc.), spread over all the Group’s subsidiaries in France and throughoutEurope. The club is a management tool seeking to further the development of Bouygues Construction outside France.It makes it possible to provide subsidiaries with young local employees who share the Group’s culture and willbecome players committed to development in each of the European countries.

1/ Hiring

The hiring of personnel is a decentralised process in each structure’s HR department. Nonetheless, in 2006 the Groupput in place Bouygues Construction Job Search, a central unit specialised in hiring engineers and managers withprevious experience. The unit works in conjunction with job-boards. As a result of the slowdown in business that hasfollowed the current economic and financial crisis, the Group’s recruitment needs have subsided slightly, although thelevel forecast for 2009 remains fairly substantial, at 1,500 people. The Job Search unit has reduced its activity thisyear.

Internships represent an excellent job applicant resource. The Group takes in approximately 2,000 interns each year,and goes on to hire half of them.

Relations with schools also constitute a very good way of getting the Group better known. Bouygues Constructionoperates an energetic policy of relations with schools (engineering and business schools, universities, vocational highschools, etc.). It takes part in careers forums and gives presentations, and also organises corporate games –“Challenges” – adapted to suit the profiles of different populations. They enable recruitment specialists to spot andhire young talents.- The “Bouygues Construction Challenge” (international) for students of engineering and business schools anduniversities- The “Supervisor Challenge” for students preparing a first professional qualification- The “Site Worker Challenge” for students at vocational high schools

A framework agreement was signed with the French Ministry for Education in 2008 to encourage the forging of closer relations between the world of business and education.Elsewhere, Bouygues Construction is increasingly looking to foreign schools and universities (UK, Russia, Singapore,etc.). The Group recently catalogued over thirty French-language disciplines corresponding to its needs, includingbuilding, civil engineering, materials mechanics and engineering science.

A partnership agreement was signed in July 2008 with the French Ministry of Defence to recruit former militarypersonnel seeking a civilian career.

2/ Remuneration

Bouygues Construction has introduced a dynamic compensation policy, tailored to each individual’s specific profile.So that this policy can be conducted with the greatest possible degree of objectivity and transparency, the HumanResources department is introducing all managers to Evolis, a software tool which will provide them with access to allnecessary indicators to clearly and accurately appreciate the salaries of their team members.

Since 2007, the Group has sent each of its employees a personalised evaluation of benefits. This document enablesindividuals to better understand all the elements forming part of their compensation package.




The global remuneration package includes the following constituents:

Direct remuneration

• Basic salary, paid on the basis of 13 months per year. For young graduates, the starting salary depends ontheir level of qualification. Recognition is given to those with double qualification. For other candidates, thestarting salary depends on experience acquired.

• Bonuses.• Paid leave allowance: this consists of a 30% increase in the remuneration corresponding to the days of leave

effectively taken.• Exceptional bonuses, e.g. corresponding to the completion of a contract.• Variable bonuses: salaries of all managers include a variable portion, which is dependent upon meeting

targets determined at the start of each year (business targets, management targets, etc.).• Company cars.
