In 2017, as part of its stakeholder dialog, Worldline interviewed the main manufacturer for its payment terminals. This interview between Worldline CSR and procurement teams on one side and its supplier CSR representatives on the other side was an opportunity to discuss the supplier’s environmental actions at the main production plants in Singapore and Indonesia where the payment terminals are produced. Following this interview, the supplier provided Worldline with its main environmental KPIs and actions in these specific locations relating to the following areas: energy savings, reduction of waste and chemicals, water conservation and conflict minerals. Furthermore, the supplier ensured that all of its employees had mandatory online training on data protection, in addition to complying with the mandatory process relating to PCI (Payment Card Industry) international regulations. Each terminal must be loaded with special keys to ensure the overall security of the terminal device from beginning to the end of its lifecycle. As a member of PCI, Worldline imposes this process on its manufacturers.
