Developing efficient and resilient urban environments that meet the needs and well-being of all users

The development of cities, pressures on the coastline, and changes in rural areas are the source of many complex challenges: new mobility, preservation of resources, risks protection, energy transition, obsolescence of infrastructure, etc.

In spite of the necessary densification, we must move towards more resource-efficient, more resilient and more inclusive cities, to ensure a better quality of life for inhabitants – cities integrating sustainable transport and shared public space, and that are greener with a diversified but more local economy.

We are in the midst of a paradigm shift where the ‘old normal’ has been swept away, we need to think outside the box and look for new solutions in order to bring about a positive change.

Our vision

The companies of the Keran group – Sce, Creocean, Groupe Huit, Naomis, S3d Engineering ans YS Marines Energies Development –  are bound and driven by the same approach. These fundamentals were laid over 40 years ago, through a bold and innovative decision to bring urban planning and landscape, infrastructure engineering, environment and digital expertise together within one group.

The mobilisation of such complementary expertise enables a cross-disciplinary project vision and facilitates the integration of all aspects to find better solutions in all kinds of different contexts and design resilient environments that satisfy the needs and well-being of users.

CSR, the driving force behing our strategy and actions

As a company dedicated to sustainable territorial development, Keran is deeply committed to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. CSR is an integral part of our DNA and strategy.

A company with strong local commitments.
The goal of a firm is not merely economic ; companies play an important role in their territory where they have environmental impacts and a social and societal role. They are the guarantee of social stability and must commit to developing their business in a fair and honest manner. Keran works actively alongside several local charities either through financial partnerships or skills sponsorship.

The force and wealth of Keran lies in our people.
Our employees are the very foundation of our success, our performance and the expertise that we bring to our clients. They are central to the company's business and the group is developing numerous schemes and tools to encourage collaborative work so that every member of staff can express ideas and grow (Keran School, HUB, social barometer, corporate social network, etc.)
