development policy. Respecting the environment
and social responsibility are core concerns for
Neopost, which long ago adopted a corporate
governance policy in line with best practice.

is used to dispose of waste only as a last
resort. At the same time, Neopost is
developing maintenance programmes
intended to extend the useful life
of its products.
A Sustainable Development officer has
been appointed, reporting directly to
Jean-Paul Villot, Neopost’s Chairman
and CEO. This officer is supported by
two special committees, one covering
Neopost’s
