Main Responsibilities

ACT 2030 is the name the Colas Group gives to its strategy to deal with the many CSR responsibilities that it currently faces - ranging from environmental, health & safety and carbon reduction measures. Under the ACT 2030 program, Colas has given eight commitments to its stakeholders that are designed to address these responsibilities: sustainable development, circular economy solutions, Carbon and biodiversity action, reducing the impact of our activities, attracting and developing talent, fostering a strong health and safety culture, building a responsible supply chain.
