Making a Difference in Our Local Community: Empowering Our Employees to Give Back 

At Bouygues Energies & Services, we strongly believe in the power of giving back to the communities that have supported us throughout our journey. We’re thrilled to share a heart warming example of how our dedicated team have taken the initiative to make a positive impact in Newport, near our data centre project.

Recently, Jamie-Lee, Ian and Matty took the opportunity to collaborate with the Growing Space organisation to create something truly special - compost sheds! These sheds were constructed using repurposed wood from the date centre project; they represent our commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness.

The idea of contributing to the National Trust's conservation efforts and Growing Space mission to foster green spaces that inspire growth and connection resonated deeply with our team. They recognised that such initiatives not only benefit the community but also align with our core values as a company.

Jamie Lee Corcoran, Document Controller at Bouygues Energies & Services explains what motivated her and the team to volunteer at Growing Space,

“By taking leftover wood, we have been able to design and build these repurposed compost bins and give back to our local community. Growing Spaces do amazing work and help those in and around the neighbourhood. These compost bins will allow Growing Spaces to continue the great work they do”. 

To enable our employees to actively participate in such meaningful projects, we introduced our volunteering programme. This initiative empowers our team members to use their skills, expertise, and time to make a difference beyond the workplace. By providing them with designated volunteering days, we aim to foster a culture of giving back and community engagement.

The compost sheds project stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of our team. It showcases how a group of individuals, driven by a shared vision, can come together to create something transformative. The sheds will not only support the National Trust's conservation efforts but also serve as practical resources for Growing Space to nurture a green and sustainable environment.

We couldn't be prouder of our employees for their commitment to improving the world around us. Their initiative and hard work embody the spirit of Bouygues Energies & Services and everything we stand for.

As we move forward, we will continue to support and encourage our team members to engage in initiatives that contribute positively to our local community. Together, we can make a lasting difference and create a brighter, greener future.
