    Et bien depuis ce week-end les “Centbornards” comptent un membre de plus et il travaille chez Colart. En effet, je suis fier de pouvoir vous présenter Sébastien, responsable de l’atelier conditionnement sur le site du Mans et qui ce week-end à participer et cloturer les “100 km de la Somme” en 12 h 32 min et 31 secondes !!

      Thank you for sharing this Francheska.

      There is always a lot going on, with lots of great activation happening globally all the time. However it is important to take time and appreciate the effort, achievement and partnerships that go into these events.

      They are fantastically well organised. Complex to execute, especially when multiple venues are happening around the same time. These activations go a long long way in cementing our relationships with our retailers, helping build our brands with them. And importantly, they help our affiliation with our consumers… real engagement and brand association with a end user. Often this can not be quantified immediately in a currency we understand (£££), but long term brand relationships are key to our long term health.
      Great work team! Thank you.…

      I attended the Waterstone event and the atmosphere and vibe that were created were fantastic. The students were fully engaged in discovering Watercolors and Promarkers. …

      Our Student Day month with our key retailers was a big success, with lots of wins and great feedback from our partners and consumers! A great teamwork and effort were behind all these activities from all of us in the UK Team making the outcome even more valuable! Looking forward to the next one!!

    It’s scam alert time again.

    Some of our staff have received emails asking them to setup their Microsoft Authenticator application. This is not genuine and is in fact trying to hijack control of your Authenticator so that they can get into your accounts. 

    The give away  as usual is that the reply address on the email is not an official colart one but in this case jonathan.spight@tallyacademy.co which is completely unrelated to the business.

    As always, stay vigilient, question everything and if in doubt reach out to someone in the IT team for support.

    On Friday afternoon the Customer Service team from the German office in Maintal set out for our annual community day.

    Organised by Grit from the volunteer agency in Maintal, we walked around a pond in the area close to our office to collect rubbish people threw away.

    It was frightening how many empty beer bottles and other rubbish we found in the bushes and shrubs. Not to speak of 4 car tyres, petrol canister, air mattress, fishing rod etc.

    It was a good event (on perhaps the last warm day of this year) and we can imagine repeating it next year.

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
