THE GROUP'S VALUES

Driven by our teams, the Colas Group’s values of Respect, Commitment, Pioneering Spirit and Transmission shape every moment of the Colas Team Cup.
Since its creation, the Colas Team Cup has brought together employees from all geographies around a shared playing field. What could be nothing more than a sports competition transforms every two years into a truly human experience. Everyone brings their own uniqueness, and everyone finds their place. It is in this attention to others, in this way of recognizing the value of each person—from player to supporter to local coordinator—that respect, the Group’s founding value, takes form.

The spirit behind the event also relies on a strong collective dynamic. The mobilization of teams, the local coordination efforts, and the constant exchanges between central communications and the field all demonstrate how commitment is not an individual gesture, but a shared movement. When hundreds of employees across multiple continents join forces around a common project, they show day after day that success takes on its full meaning when it is carried together.

If the Colas Team Cup evolves, grows, and innovates with each edition, it is never by chance. The organization explores new ways to involve subsidiaries, rethinks its formats, introduces solidarity-based challenges, and invents new means of connecting distant teams. This measured boldness—where we prepare, test, adjust, and then deploy—fully embodies the pioneering spirit claimed by Colas: imagining the future while maintaining the discipline of doing things right.

Finally, over the course of the editions, another phenomenon takes shape: what participants learn, experience, and create together does not end with the final whistle. Best practices circulate from one country to another, experiences inspire new ideas, seasoned participants support new local coordinators, and everyone contributes to enriching a shared culture. This continuous, natural, generous movement is the essence of transmission. We share to help others grow, and we pass on knowledge so the collective becomes stronger.

Through the Colas Team Cup, the Group’s values do not appear as a framework to be applied: they are revealed as already present—alive, vibrant, and at the heart of our actions.
More than ever, these values illuminate the path that Colas continues to forge with its employees around the world.
