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…
