ESG Focus Areas

• Environmental Sustainability
• Security
• Hygiene

Environmental Achievements

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by up to 53% in the production of banknotes (compared to paper banknotes)
• Polymer banknotes last at least 2.5 times longer than paper banknotes, reducing the need for frequent replacement and associated environmental impact.
• Polymer banknotes can be recycled to produce various products.

Social Achievements

• Improved hygiene and reduced bacterial transmission due to the non-absorptive surface of polymer banknotes.
• Reduced survival time of COVID-19 virus on polymer banknotes compared to paper banknotes.

Governance Achievements

• Enhanced security features in polymer banknotes making them more difficult to counterfeit, leading to a significant reduction in counterfeiting cases in other countries.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Counterfeiting of banknotes
• Need for sanitization of banknotes during the COVID-19 pandemic
• Environmental impact of producing and disposing of paper banknotes

Mitigation Strategies

• Introduction of 1000-Piso Polymer Banknotes with enhanced security features.
• Polymer banknotes are more resistant to dirt, viruses, and bacteria, reducing the need for frequent sanitization.
• Polymer banknotes are more durable and sustainable, reducing environmental impact.
