Our business model
Our challenges
New societal aspirations
New generations aspire to a new relationship with work. The health crisis has amplified this trend. The majority of working people want to rebalance their personal and professional lives, and are less inclined to accept geographical mobility as part of their career paths.
NGE takes account of employees’ new aspirations. It encourages autonomy in the workplace, delegation, initiative-taking and entrepreneurial freedom, and ensures that employees remain employable throughout their working lives.
Ecological transition
The IPCC submitted its sixth report in 2022, taking stock of the most advanced scientific knowledge on climate. Humanity has never emitted as much greenhouse gas as it does today, despite the policies implemented.
As a responsible company, NGE is a committed Group that implements sustainable solutions to support its customers’ ecological transition.
Local economies
As relays for public policy, local authorities are key players in economic recovery, accessibility to public services and the governance of transport infrastructures.
NGE works at the service of these regions, building infrastructures that contribute to their attractiveness and economy. The Group invests locally to modernize its production facilities, recruits where its entities are located and favors partnerships with regional companies.
Demographics and urbanisation
By the end of 2022, the number of people on Earth will have passed the eight-billion mark. By 2080, 2 out of 3 people will be living in cities. Managing urban density is the main challenge for the emergence of sustainable cities.
As a partner to local authorities, NGE contributes to the transformation of cities. The Group builds urban and inter-urban public transport infrastructures, consolidates its expertise in networks and designs data management and steering tools…
Methodological note
This integrated report is for all NGE stakeholders. Its purpose is to introduce NGE, its challenges, its core businesses and its financial and non-financial value creation strategy. It presents the most relevant aspects of NGE strategy for instructional information purposes, rather than seeking to provide a comprehensive overview.
Inspired by the reference framework proposed by the Value Reporting Foundation (formerly the IIRC), this integrated report has been prepared jointly by the Group Chairman, Executive Management Team, CSR Department, Human Resources Department, the Communication & External Relations Department and employees from a number of operations and central services departments.
This edition covers the 2022 financial year. The methodology and scope of the indicators shown are detailed in the Declaration of Non-Financial Performance.
