One of New Services' main activities is the production of vouchers in paper format. An
environmental priority for the Group is to establish practices that limit paper consumption and the
impact on the lumber cycle (eco‐design of products, use of eco‐friendly paper). For instance, since
2007, New Services in Brazil has chosen to produce Ticket Restaurant ® vouchers from recycled paper.
This initiative saves 400 trees per month. In addition, a new format has been chosen for the Ticket
Restaurant ® , which reduces paper consumption by 45 metric tons per year.
