sustainability_report p.10

Comprehensive component standardization across the biometric device range streamlines supply chain and enables reuse across product lines. Second-generation facial recognition technology weighs significantly less than the first, enabling smaller packaging and reduced logistics emissions. MorphoTop Slim and VisionPass SP are thinner/more compact with reduced plastic content.

sustainability_report p.10

IPS has reached 66% renewable electricity over the past 3 years, supported by an energy savings program and increase in renewable energy sourcing. ISO 14001 environmental management systems are in place at production sites. Energy CO2 impact reduced 49% since 2019.
