CPI Card Group® Earns Forest Stewardship Council® Certification

SCS Global Services certifies that CPI® Prepaid Debit Cards adhere to FSC’s standard(s) for responsibly sourced products

CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”), a payment technology company providing a range of credit, debit, and prepaid solutions, complementary digital solutions, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) instant issuance, today announced that it has earned Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for its prepaid product. CPI was third-party certified by SCS Global Services through its Forest Conservation Program.

FSC CoC certification ensures that certified wood products are tracked from responsibly managed forests to final paper products to verify that FSC-certified material is identified or kept separate from noncertified material throughout the chain. Through the certification process, SCS conducted an independent review of CPI’s sustainability efforts and verified its use of responsibly sourced products.

The certification reinforces one of CPI’s core tenets of operating with a sustainability mindset to deliver innovative and seamless prepaid solutions that win with customers. CPI will now display the FSC certification logo on the certified paper cards and carriers it produces for its market-leading retail prepaid packaging, thereby allowing the company’s customers to showcase their commitment to responsible sourcing.

“Our team was proud to pursue the FSC certification and will continue to develop eco-focused prepaid solutions to support our clients and the broader industry,” said Peggy O’Leary, Senior Vice President of Prepaid Solutions at CPI. “I want to congratulate the team on securing this certification which shows our alignment with FSC standards and is an accomplishment we can all be proud of.”

CPI strives to lead the industry in eco-focused products. Its eco-focused card line reduces the use of first-use plastic in each card’s construction and substitutes recycled materials like recycled PET-G, recycled PVC, or recovered ocean-bound plastic for virgin materials.

CPI recently announced that it has sold over 95 million of its eco-focused payment cards. CPI is also part of ICMA’s EcoLabel Standard Program and Mastercard Greener Payments Partnership, which are initiatives aimed at encouraging more sustainable transaction and identification card manufacturing.

CPI’s FSC CoC Trademark License Code for Product Promotion is FSC-C185039.

About Forest Stewardship Council®

FSC is the most rigorous international standard for responsible forestry. FSC-certified forests conserve biological diversity, water resources and crucial ecosystems.
