Primary: Eco-design and product energy efficiency IPS reduces lifecycle carbon footprint of biometric devices through eco-design. OneLook Gen2 consumes 60W vs 180W (Gen1) — 3x reduction. ALIX Arch uses LED bulbs and standby mode. Aluminum chosen over iron for weight/durability. OneLook Gen2 weight reduced 2.5x vs Gen1 (from 6.5kg), shrinking packaging and transport emissions.

Primary: Product recycling and circularity At Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray production site (France), IPS set up recycling for biometric devices not meeting quality standards or recalled from customers. Suez handles cardboard, plastic, batteries, industrial waste; Ecologic and Elec'Recyclage handle electronic boards, cables, screens. Component standardization across devices enables reuse.

SBTi carbon reduction trajectory submitted Following the 2022 carbon assessment, IDEMIA submitted a carbon reduction trajectory to the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative) and will report on its validation in 2025. Includes new reduction targets for scopes 1 and 2 and increased use of renewable energies.

Primary: Product recycling and circular economy Dedicated recycling processes at Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray (France) and Noida (India) sites handle returned/non-conforming biometric devices. Devices are dismantled and components (plastics, electronic boards, cables, screens) sorted via specialized recycling partners. Feasibility studies under way on recycled/bio-sourced material integration and end-of-life offers (recycling, reuse, refurbishing).
