Our vocation : to be of service to our clients


The Socotec Group is an all-round provider of risk management and performance enhancement services in the construction, real estate, industry, health and certification sectors.

Born out of Bureau Securitas, founded in 1929 and historically France’s top construction inspection body, Socotec came into being in 1953. Still national leader in this segment of the construction market, in 2001 the Group significantly strengthened its activities in the industrial and health sectors, areas in which it offers an alternative to the solutions proposed by traditional actors.

Ever since Socotec’s founding, the Group's desire to broaden its service offer has gone hand in hand with the development of its overseas services through the Socotec International network, present in more than 30 countries.

Our interventions, structured around inspection, technical assistance, consulting and training services, are constantly expanding in scope, in response to new needs and to meet the most varied requirements and the most contrasting situations.

Generating added value for clients is the Socotec Group's mission which it does by developing its expertise in four main fields of intervention:

  • safety,
  • health,
  • environment,
  • quality.
