Employee share ownership

What is employee share ownership?

Employee share ownership is a scheme designed to give employees a long-term stake in a company's capital. It is a mechanism for reconciling the interests of capital and labour.

A pillar of the Eiffage Group's culture

Employee share ownership has been part of the Group's DNA for 30 years and has grown steadily. Eiffage sees this model as an opportunity to increase employee involvement by rewarding collective commitment to the company's success.

Since 2014, employee share ownership has also been a lever for international expansion. The scheme was extended to subsidiaries in Belgium, Luxembourg and Senegal, followed by Spain and Germany.
