Colart's global sustainability commitee set about creating a sustainability strategy that aligns with Colart's vision of 'inspiring every artist in the world'.

Colart, together with our NGO partner, Forum for the Future, identified a number of global trends relevant to our business, and considered carefully Colart's impact in each of those areas.

Each year, Colart undertakes a materiality assessment – a process that looks to prioritise how a number of issues impact our ability to create lasting value for our stakeholders and for our business according to our long-term goals and vision. Ultimately, this annual assessment ensures we identify and report on the most critical issues of our business.
