Company business plan

The “Ambition 2012, à nous de faire aimer la ville” (It’s up to us to make people love the city) Company business plan was launched on 4 February, 2008 in the wake of a long debate in which all staff members took part. The plan defined five main priorities translated into 22 projects. The implementation of the plan aims to amplify change dynamics and place the RATP group in a position to deal with future challenges. For each project, the process is coordinated by pilots and coordinators from all of the company's departments and professions. When these projects reach a sufficiently advanced stage, they are closed and incorporated into the company's normal processes.

The 5 objectives of the Company business plan


1. Innovation and customer service: Gaining passenger loyalty and influencing local officials by building RATP’s service and innovation capacities.

2. Growth strategy: Gaining a foothold among the global top 5 by accelerating conquest dynamics.

3. Economic and financial performance: Building a durable and high performance business model to develop the means for the Company’s ambitions.

4. Integration and cross-departmentality: Successful integration to provide our passengers with the widest possible range of services.

5. Extracting value from human resources: RATP’s men and women must be motivated to drive the Company business plan.

A 23rd project in 2010: "Become a paragon of sustainability"
At the midway point of the 2008-2012 Company business plan, the 22 projects are well underway. Six projects (3, 4, 7, 9, 16 and 17) have even sufficiently attained their objectives to be fully incorporated into RATP processes.

In line with its global strategy and values, RATP wanted to intensify its collective sustainability efforts; it therefore launched a 23rd project aimed at making RATP "a paragon of sustainability". This project's areas of focus are eco-mobility, lower energy consumption, exemplary professional practices and an equal opportunities policy.
