Environmental, Social, Governance
Our Global ESG strategy
Our Environmental, Social, Governance strategy comprises four pillars, with the concept of ESG by Design running throughout and digital trust, responsibility and governance wrapping around everything we do.
Lumen EMEA acquisition
We've finalised the acquisition and are in the process of integrating teams and their data. While we work towards reporting on all aspects together, please be aware that our targets and details won't include Lumen assets initially. We're committed to transparency throughout this process and will keep you informed as we make progress.
Colt Sustainability Report 2022
"I am incredibly proud to present our second annual sustainability report. Since the first report, we have set more ambitious targets, doubled down on working with our supply chain and received significant recognition for our efforts. Our ESG commitments are at the heart of how we do business and our approach is ESG by design; this means we build ESG principles into everything we do, and we do so from the outset."
