£10,000 The first Cash Sustainability Forum was in November 2021, and this built on the white paper’s ‘Cash: a Roadmap to Sustainability’. In 2022 we published a white paper on repurposing unfit cotton banknotes, ‘What Goes Round Comes Round’, and in 2023 we ran three webinars on cotton and polymer destruction. We also supported an IACA webinar on putting sustainability into tenders. Ahead of the 2024 Cash Sustainability Forum we will publish a white paper on best practice in managing recirculation of cash outside of central banks.

Join Us in Germany
From 24–26 June 2024, we will welcome over 150 delegates from across the globe for the second Cash Sustainability Forum. Join a wide range of experts from outside, as well as within, the industry to talk about doing sustainability well. Learn, share, make friends, make contacts.
Setting the scene Sustainability has created an industry with its own acronyms, terminology, metrics and accreditations for each and every part. The Forum will provide a common understanding, a base line, for where the sustainability ‘industry’ is relevant to what we do. As part of this we will consider the areas of challenge, complexity, confusion and risk. We will also consider the role of the central bank, ISO14001, ESG reports, greenwashing, top down and/or bottom-up change.
Best practice We know there are great examples of organisations, both within and outside the cash sector, making significant progress reducing their environmental impact. We will give them the opportunity to share what they have done and with what result. We also want to cover topics such as how central banks can reduce the impact of cash and the cash cycle, how to commission an LCA or CFA and how to move ESG from being ‘reporting’ to driving change. Across cash production and cash handling, what makes a difference and what is the commitment and cost?
Co-operation We want to highlight the benefits of co-operation supplier to supplier, and at a cash cycle level, ie. the cash cycle end-to-end offers opportunities for standardising packaging, standardising materials, reusing materials, data sharing to optimise cash movements, process changes regulated by central banks etc.
Specific challenges Specific challenges range from: Agreeing industry wide metrics for ESG reports and LCAs Establishing appropriate criteria to include in tenders, and what weighting to give them Disposing of notes at the end of life Green energy purchasing, and deciding when carbon offsetting is right and how to do it well Reducing ATM energy use and the use of fossil fuels for cash movements
Technology focus We have seen work on everything from capturing and reusing heat, energy generation, wastewater management, end of life solutions, achieving a ‘circular’ economy and re-purposing of track and trace solutions to enable reuse of materials and plastic separation. We will focus on how technology can help sustainability, looking both at innovations within the cash cycle, and examples from other industries and sectors.
