COLAS Australia has always played a leading role in promoting sustainable practices in the industry that we work in. For COLAS, sustainability is about taking decisions that recognise the interests and concerns of everyone. It’s about listening to all our stakeholders then balancing their needs with those of our business. It’s about challenging conventional thinking using our substantial resources from both local and international arenas to bring innovative solutions to the market. At COLAS we’re all working smarter to ensure we have a robust, intelligent and collaborative approach to sustainable development. We’re looking closely at the impact we have on the environment, society and economy in which we operate.
As part of our social commitment COLAS reports yearly to the Federal Government of Australia, under The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act) which is part of The Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement (French: Accord de Paris) is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
As a world class leader in developing new materials and processes we continually strive to reduce the impact our operations have on the environment. Our energy reduction initiatives help drive improved efficiency and reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions.
Safety is number one value at COLAS. Our number one priority is the safety of our people and the communities in which we work. We recognise we are nothing without our talented, passionate people and we remain committed to developing their skills and helping them make a positive impact on the community. We are committed to an inclusive workplace using our 4 cornerstones: social inclusion, disability, gender diversity and age management.
