WE PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Throughout our company’s history, we have promoted the sustainable development of the company and society. This becomes not only part of our work, but also a business philosophy that shares and promotes the human being as the center of our activity and the backbone of the country’s development: connecting roads, transforming communities and promoting a sustainable environment for future generations.
Our Social Responsibility model is connected to our strategic framework and considers those challenges of society and our stakeholders, to which we can contribute for the transformation of the territory. This is how our Sustainability Plan 2016 -2026 seeks to impact our people, communities of influence, the supply chain and the environment.

BOGOTÁ: THE CITY WE DREAM OF
In coherence with the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact, to which we have adhered since 2012, we partnered with the Institute of Urban Development (IDU) to develop an educational methodology, in order to train boys and girls between 7 and 10 years of age in civic culture, focused on the appropriation of the territory and the promotion of values that encourage coexistence.The methodology consists of a booklet with three modules: citizenship, territory and road safety. Likewise, it has a Box of physical and digital Tools that complement the activities in an accessible and playful way for the impacted boys and girls.LEARN MORE
SHRIMP PROJECT
The Camarones Project or "Self-sustainable communities for the construction of social capital" began in 2015 in the village of Camarones in Riohacha, La Guajira. Together with the Perraptú Reservation, located in the Los Flamencos Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, area of influence of the La Guajira Road Network, the project sought to develop sustainable projects by applying the Principles of Community Self-Management.The main problems identified were the difficulty in accessing drinking water and the inadequate management of solid waste, which affected the health of the residents, the aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna, and had an impact on the low density of tourists.During the years of implementation, there have been multiple positive results. As of 2021, 2,800 tons of waste have been collected within the Sanctuary and disposed of in sanitary landfills. Also, there was an increase in flamingo sightings from 700 to 3,000 individuals, and 100% of the benefited families had access to water resources.DOWNLOAD BOOKLETWATCH VIDEO
TRANSMISSION OF ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE
During the development of the Camarones Project in La Guajira, the Program for the Strengthening of Artisan handicrafts was simultaneously implemented in order to reinforce the transmission of ancestral knowledge, specifically the Wayúu symbology, since the community identified the forgetfulness of the "kanas" woven in the traditional mochilas of the area.This gender-focused program promotes the economic empowerment of indigenous women, respecting the traditional symbology and culture of the Wayúu indigenous people.KNOW THE WAYUU SYMBOLOLOGY
ADD YOUR HANDS
The alliance for La Guajira, Suma tus Manos, was created in 2018 to promote the sustainable development of the Wayúu communities of Cabo de la Vela. It seeks to carry out a collaborative work between different public and private organizations along with the impacted community, to improve environmental, economic and social conditions. All this, under the leadership of Pavimentos Colombia and the UN Global Compact Colombia Network.As a result, different volunteer workdays have been carried out to collect garbage in the area, and thus keep the beaches and seagrasses free of waste that endanger the ecosystems of Cabo de la Vela and the Wayúu community. We have also been able to provide the community with its own infrastructure for the transportation, collection and recycling of solid waste.LEARN MORE
URBAN AND HOME GARDEN
As part of our commitment to improve the quality of life of our employees and the communities in the area of influence of our projects, we have developed an urban and home gardens project in the departments of Tolima, Cundinamarca and the city of Bogota, Colombia.This project is a sustainable practice of organic and chemical-free food production, monitored and accompanied by our expert team, which contributes to the food security of our stakeholders, and also reduces and reuses organic waste.LEARN MORE
BOOK OF DREAMS
As a contribution to the Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education and the goals of the organization, Pavimentos Colombia developed in 2017 "The Dream Book". A pedagogical tool endorsed by UN Global Compact Colombia Network, which teaches children in our communities of influence about Human Rights and the Rights of the Child, building personal identity, how to be citizens of the world, and thus, contribute from their childhood to the construction of peace.
Psychological support and aid program
We are committed to the well-being of our employees and their families. Therefore, during the last 5 years we have invested more than $100M COP in healthcare and calamity assistance. Likewise, since 2020 we have implemented a psychological and psychiatric support program for our employees and their families, in case they require guidance and assistance, through strategic alliances with expert professionals.
Move for a cause
Our 'Move for a cause' program implemented since 2016, seeks to contribute to the physical and emotional health of our staff, financing bicycles as a sustainable mobility alternative. During the COVID-19 health emergency, we encouraged access to this means of transportation, prioritizing people with longer travel distances and the constant use of public transportation. In this way, we financed 30% of the value of the bicycle and the rest through zero-interest payroll deductions for our employees.
Responsible parenthood program
We promote responsible parenthood through workshops and training aimed at raising awareness among new fathers and mothers on issues such as breastfeeding, changing habits with the arrival of a new member and adjustment to this new stage.
Employability program in alliance with Adecco
During 2021, we formed an alliance with Adecco to train 52 women, family members of our staff who lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We strengthened topics such as resume preparation, interview training and personal presentation, in order to empower them and provide tools that would allow them to find a job.
Circular economy and zero waste
We promote the circular economy in our processes, implementing strategies for the reduction, reuse, recovery and valuation of solid waste in the development of our activities.

Climate change and carbon neutral

No to single-use plastic products (SUPs)
As part of our commitment to reduce the use of single-use plastics, we replaced beverage mixers, garbage bags, straws, food containers and packaging, among others, with biodegradable or reusable materials.We replace plastic bags with biodegradable materials and natural fibers such as hemp, jute, bags made from corn starch or kraft paper, and we encourage our employees to use cloth bags.
