Fair Labour Practices and Migrant Workers

BESIX Group has been present in the Middle East since 1965 through its subsidiary Six Construct. Based in the United Arab Emirates, the company has actively contributed to the development of the Arabian Peninsula.

It has built emblematic buildings including the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels and airports, marine and port infrastructures, water and waste treatment units as well as sports and leisure facilities. An overview of some of our achievements in the Middle East is available here.

Excellence is at the heart of BESIX Group's purpose. This goal of excellence is operational, but also human. In this area, the company’s commitment to human rights, and in particular to the working and living standards of migrant workers, is clear: by constantly improving its practices and requiring its partners and suppliers to adopt practices similar to its own, BESIX wants to be an agent of change. The company has been demonstrating this for several years: it works.
