French term or phrase: coûts de structures
This is from a corporate PPT presentation on cutting down on travel and travel costs. One of the reasons to do so is that "Parce que l’on se doit tous d’être de plus en plus vigilants sur les coûts de structures"

I'm not sure if "committed costs" applies here?

Thanks!
