sustainability_report p.17

IPS reduces device energy consumption through hardware redesign and standby modes. OneLook Gen 2 consumes 3x less energy than Gen 1 (60W vs 180W). ALIX Arch uses LED lighting that activates only when a bag enters the capture zone and switches to standby otherwise. Standby mode operation selected across all products where possible.

sustainability_report p.21

OneLook Gen 2 weight reduced by 2.5x vs Gen 1 (from 6.5kg), enabling smaller packaging, optimized transport/routing, and lower plastic content. ALIX Arch uses aluminum instead of iron for lower production/transport energy, better logistics density, and longer service life through corrosion resistance.

sustainability_report p.20

ALIX Core and MBSS deployed as SaaS in the cloud on Amazon Web Services, operating on-demand with virtual server standby when not in use. Cloud deployment considerably lowers energy consumption and GHG emissions versus traditional on-premises solutions. IPS declares ALIX Core 'carbon-neutral' via AWS hosting choice.

sustainability_report p.21

T&T roadmap targets shipping at least 80% of products by sea, reserving air transport (kept under 20%) for PoCs, urgent situations, or short lead times. Also lowering carbon footprint of customer site visits by opting for remote meetings and online collaborative tools.

sustainability_report p.30

IPS creates durable products with high MTBF, maintains spare parts stock, prioritizes repair over replacement, and trains customers (Level 1) to reduce technician travel. At Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray site (France), Suez manages dismantling and processing of cardboard/plastic/batteries/industrial waste; Ecologic and Elec'Recyclage handle electronic boards, cables and screens. Component standardization across biometric devices enables reuse.

sustainability_report p.20

sustainability_report p.15

IDEMIA's emission reduction approach has two pillars: (1) reducing energy consumption via efficiency plans, reinforced by ISO 50001 certification at the Cali plant in Colombia; (2) actively integrating renewable energies into sites' electricity supply contracts. The share of renewable energies in total consumption is regularly assessed, and investments are regularly made to equip sites with solar panels to increase self-consumption of renewable energy.

sustainability_report p.15

IDEMIA pursues efficiency at production sites by deploying practices to reduce energy consumption, optimise facilities and limit waste. The first ISO 50001 certification was awarded to the Cali, Colombia plant, with two more energy-intensive plants targeting certification next. Some sites have established energy committees to deepen analysis.

sustainability_report p.15

IDEMIA is increasing the share of sea freight (which reduces GHG emissions by more than 20x vs air) for raw materials and components. At end-2024, 75% of raw material/component transport volumes was by sea despite operational and geopolitical complexity. IDEMIA Secure Transactions invested in a Transport Management System (TMS) in 2024 with environmental criteria built in, providing complete view of import/export carbon footprint.

sustainability_report p.16

IDEMIA runs the IWAY partner programme requiring key suppliers to undergo EcoVadis CSR assessment, sign the supplier code of conduct, and accept CSR contract clauses. In 2024, 53 supplier audits in 10 countries were performed, and 25+ performance reviews incorporated GHG reduction trajectories and EcoVadis results. Purchasing teams have been trained to analyse Scope 3 impact of suppliers.
