Our policy
Colas' commitment to sustainable development stems from the very nature of its core business – roads. Criticised for their association with the oil industry, the automobile industry and trucking, roads nevertheless have a key role to play in sustainable development, in areas such as freedom of movement, trade, cultural exchanges, and political and administrative efficiency. Roads also offer an essential network for all other modes of transport and recycling streams for many industries, as well as social advancement for those who work in road-related trades.
The same applies to the group's other infrastructure construction activities. Positioned at the heart of economic and social life, Colas therefore meets a great many of society's expectations. Its activities should not be criticised per se, but they must be conducted in compliance with the requirements of sustainable development.
