In 2020, Colas decided to build our corporate project around CSR. The ACT program was born, standing for Act and Commit Together and represents the following commitments:
Providing our customers with high-quality products and services while staying socially and environmentally responsible takes integrity. From our corporate buildings to our production facilities, our operations all adhere to a high standard of environmental responsibility. We are always working to lessen our impact on the environment and our local communities.
In 2021, Upstone Materials implemented biodiversity initiatives at Upstone’s Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake Quarries. Upstone continues to enhance their biodiversity initiatives each year by creating wildflower fields to support habitats and increase local pollinators. Upstone’s wildflower fields have created community involvement opportunities for neighbors to take senior pictures or engagement photos.
