About us
Overview
An independent French engineering group, born in Côte d’Ivoire and rooted in family values.
Our mission is to design, plan and deliver sustainable engineering solutions that are innovative and adapted to local realities, in order to support the development of regions, accelerate the energy transition and bring out the best in people.
For more than 50 years, we have put our expertise to work on projects that transform infrastructure, industries and local ecosystems, meeting the challenges of our time and anticipating those of tomorrow.
Convinced that collective success rests on human richness, we rely on the commitment of our teams to meet the challenges of every project we deliver. Their expertise, their commitment and their team spirit drive our performance and our ability to innovate.
Our work is part of a drive for sustainable progress. We act with high standards and a sense of responsibility to reduce our environmental footprint, foster inclusion and contribute actively to the energy and societal transition.
We believe in engineering that is committed, meaningful and connected to local realities, turned towards a more frugal, fairer and more resilient future. That ambition guides our corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR) actions and encourages us to pursue responsible growth across all our activities.
Our targets for 2027 are clear: to devote 55% of our revenue to decarbonised activities.

A word from the Chairman

Our Group began with the wish to create a company that combines expertise, innovation and human values. It is that ambition which led us to develop our know-how in the service of complex projects, turning them into lasting opportunities.
Our successes rest above all on the talented people who join us and grow with us. It is this vision, carried by the trust of our partners, that continues to guide our development in France and internationally.
