ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
GRI 103-1103-2103-3
C6 Bank develops recurring initiatives aimed at environmental preservation and
the fight against climate change, in accordance with the commitment formalized
in our Socio-environmental Responsibility Policy (cdn.c6bank.com.br/c6-site-
docs/politica-socioambiental.pdf).
To guide our strategy and the prioritization of actions aimed at social and
environmental issues, we also prepared the Socio-environmental Risk Manual. The
document presents procedures aimed at mitigating the possibility of risk events,
such as those resulting from climate change, considering our main stakeholders.
Acqua, a biodegradable card
One of the major environmental problems in Brazil and around the world is the incorrect
disposal of plastics, which contaminates soils, rivers, and oceans. With that in mind, we
created Acqua, the first biodegradable bank card in Brazil, with 80% of its composition in PLA,
or polylactic acid, produced from corn starch.
While a traditional plastic card, made of PVC, takes 400 years to decompose in nature,
Acqua takes from six months to two years to complete its decomposition under proper
composting conditions. The only reason the card does not have PLA in its entire
composition is because of the presence of a chip, a magnetic stripe, and other minor
components essential for its operation.
