QUALITY, SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENT POLICY
« Sustainable technology » expresses our commitment to offering our customers lasting and high­quality solutions that respect the

at stake in our activies.
Our management system will progressively revolve around a single document incorporating three processes covering the concepts of Quality,
Safety and respect for the Environment.
Each organisation must implement and ensure effective and integrated compliance with this unique management system.
MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
I am calling for managers’ attention and energy to disseminate this focus on excellence and professionalism through daily actions.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Construction is a major activity that has an impact on the environment.
