Positive actions for the
environment and sustainable development are no
casual topics for Gemalto. When producing more than 1.5 billion secure, personal
objects every year, each with its individual packaging to make the best possible
impact on the end-user, Gemalto can clearly make a difference for our
environment by thinking Green when it comes to packaging and card bodies.
The Financial Services and Retail business of Gemalto is leading the way by driving all its supply chain in compliance with the ecological criteria of the ISO 14001 standard. Did you know that the town of Fareham on the south coast of England is home to the world's first "CarbonNeutral ®" accredited card production site? Thanks to Gemalto CarbonNeutral service, our customers can put action on climate change at the heart of their business strategy.
Why is this an important issue for Financial Services and Retail? Because given all the Gemalto markets and offerings, this is one of the areas where packaging and the actual card body will play a growing role in the future for our customers' success. Banking cards or Transport cards are very personal objects that are fully part of people's daily lives. These are a fantastic marketing and communication tool for the Banks, the Mass Transit Operators, the Retailers or the Pay TV Operators. Beyond the services they actually deliver, consumers will expect such cards to be nice looking, personalized with a choice of design and features, and eco-friendly.
We anticipate changes in consumers' behavior toward their cards-mate: rather
than one single payment card with a 2 year validity, we foresee new Banks
services pushed via their web portals where the end-user mayselect a package
offer with the possibility of changing cards 2, 3, or 4 times during that 2 year
time frame. The card body will match the individual's mood, taste, trends and
habits.
Our commitment is to innovate with the environment in mind and thus deliver products and services that will helpyou meet your customers' concern for eco-friendliness.
