ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

SICPA’s environmental impact is mainly due to its manufacturing activities and the use of chemicals in the composition of security inks. Best manufacturing practices, sustainable sourcing of raw materials and operational controls are applied across all entities to limit our environmental impact as much as possible.
