Our changing environment: a source of inspiration and motivation
Like all companies, the BG group is confronted with external influences that impact its direction and development. Fundamental changes are taking place in the world around us. It is a rapid and profound transformation, marked by three major shifts:
- Global warming
- Digitisation
- Urbanisation
All engineering companies are directly affected by these changes.
- First, engineers – and BG is no exception – are among the best placed to imagine, design and implement the solutions that will provide answers to these major societal challenges.
- Second, these transformations are bringing about structural changes in our economic sector, impacting both the clients and the firms providing them with engineering services. To keep up, we need to invest and innovate in order to respond to the growing concern for sustainability and to succeed in integrating more and more digital functionalities into the services offered.
In line with its vision, BG intends to turn these trends into opportunities. In the coming years, BG will therefore strive to mobilise its know-how and available resources for the benefit of the community and its employees.
A wealth of experience as a legacy
In almost 70 years of existence, BG Ingénieurs Conseils has grown from an office founded by two EPFL professors to a multinational company with 650 employees and active in many Western European markets. “Typical BG” characteristics have developed over the years into our hallmark, which differentiates us from our competitors and gives us our own identity with our clients.
Our strength lies in imagining and delivering tailored proposals for our clients, which are also a source of motivation for all our employees.
The strengths that allow us to stand out
