Continuous Environmental Investment

De La Rue understands the impact that its activities, products and services can have on the environment. All of our manufacturing sites have achieved ISO14001 accreditation for their environmental management systems. We do our best to reduce any negatives and increase the positives by:
  • Tracking key environmental KPIs on a monthly basis (waste, energy, water usage). This data is also confirmed at each financial year-end where sites complete an environmental questionnaire to create an overall environmental summary.
  • Subscribing to the Carbon Disclosure Project
