• Strong, diversified business activities including prestige projects, urban development, motorway infrastructure, tramway systems, airport facilities and wind farms. The group reported sales of €11 billion in 2006.
  
  
• Enviable industrial and market positions throughout Europe, with 63,600 employees worldwide (particularly in France, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Benelux countries)
  
  
• A longstanding employment model based on employee shareholding – 90% of employees are currently also shareholders, together owning more than 23% of the Group's capital.
