Sustainable development and eco-responsible approach

As a follow-up to the signature of the AFPC* charter "Cards at the end of their lifecycle" which was signed by the CEOs who are members of the organization during CARTES & IDentification 2007, we wish to highlight the efforts made by the industry with regard to sustainable development.

To this end, a conference "CARTES GOES GREEN SUMMIT" will be held during the CARTES & IDentification 2008 Congress to discuss progress and ongoing projects.

In addition, as we wish to act in an eco-responsible way, we are taking actions aiming to reduce our impact on the environment:
