Today is Global Recycling Day, which serves as an opportunity to highlight how we approach recycling and sustainability. At COLAS, we aim to #reduce, #reuse, and #recycle the materials and resources we use to build and maintain roads. Resources are limited, and we believe it's our responsibility to use them wisely. By implementing these important recycling methods, we not only minimise waste, but also contribute to a circular economy. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond compliance; it is embedded in our daily operations and culture. We educate our team and stakeholders about the importance of sustainable construction practices. #COLAS #Australia #Recycling #Sustainability

Sine Qua Non is a run on March 15th, following International Women's Day that acts as a show against gender-based and sexual violence. Like our Group, this event is originally from France, so we at COLAS decided to bring the event to Australia and rally for the global cause. Last Thursday, at 7:30 am, runners from our Sydney office ran around Parramatta Park for at least 6km. Some sore legs in the office that day, but it was worth it for a cause we all stand behind. #COLAS #RunforEquality #WeOpenTheWay

We were delighted to have sponsored this year's Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA) NSW International Women's Day Event. AfPA's National Events for IWD celebrate the achievements of women from our industry and promote gender diversity, increasing awareness and positive action to address barriers facing women in our industry. The NSW event was a delightful high tea at The Langham Sydney, where we honoured the incredible women in the flexible pavement industry and beyond in NSW. Kanjana Yindee, our Group Technical Manager, spoke at the event; "let’s celebrate everyone's success, men and women, and work together to build a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable road industry. Because when we lift each other up, we all move forward." #COLAS #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #ColasCares #WeOpenTheWay
