Colorado, a tobacco-free company

 

For the 3rd consecutive year, COLORADO was awarded the Gold Label as a tobacco-free company from the Lalla Salma Cancer Prevention and Treatment Foundation. COLORADO signed up to the tobacco-free company program in August 2013 in order to provide a healthy and pleasant environment for its staff to work in.

The prize is a reward for the efforts made by all the members of staff who contributed towards the success of the program, for which the company put in place a two-part action plan:

• Raising awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco and the benefits of stopping smoking for both smokers and non-smokers.

• Encouragement and support for coming off tobacco through training on controlling tobacco consumption and on helpful techniques for stopping smoking, in order to reduce the percentage of people smoking.

COLORADO covers some of the medical costs of assisted tobacco withdrawal for staff who want to stop smoking by providing them with ongoing medical supervision.
