Environmental management responsibility is shared between a number of departments, including CSR, Purchasing, Global Operations, sites and business units. In 2021, IDEMIA has launched a project with an external agency – GreenFlex - to gain a complete picture of its CO2 footprint, including Scope 3. This project requires collaboration across IDEMIA functions, business units and regions. The findings from this assessment highlighted four areas where IDEMIA need to work on to reach its 25% reduction goal by 2025: energy, freight, refrigerants and mobility. 17 IDEMIA’s production sites hold ISO14001 certifications and these are subject to rigorous regular external audit, in order to maintain certification status. Environmental management at site level is the responsibility of local HSE managers and the site managers. On a monthly basis, HSE managers must report environmental data (including CO2, energy consumption, water, waste…) to the company CSR reporting tool, CeaSaR PURE. This data is checked by the CSR Team and any inconsistencies or omissions are rectified through liaison between CSR and the site. The environmental performance of suppliers is managed by Purchasing, with the support of the CSR Team. Suppliers are expected to comply with environmental law in their operations and in terms of product compliance through the IDEMIA Supplier Code of Conduct and the general purchasing conditions. IDEMIA’s integrity line can be used for reporting environmental breaches or concerns.Anti-corruption
