Our Sustainability Policy

We are extremely careful in how we treat nature, as well as natural, human and cultural resources, and are actively committed to increasing awareness of the environment and sustainability.

Starting from the company management, we have enshrined the topic of sustainability across all divisions throughout the entire company, and we implement our goals in a coordinated and consistent manner.

Climate protection is one of the central social and political challenges of the modern day. Every individual can contribute through their actions to keeping the impact on the environment as low as possible.

As a company, we are aware of our responsibility towards society and towards future generations. With our initiative id cares, we actively champion sustainability.

Climate neutral company

Becoming 'climate neutral' means reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, but it also means compensating for any remaining emissions. A net-zero emissions balance is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere is neutralised. Based on the analysis, our offices have produced and offset 84,67 tonnes CO2 in 2023 to become climate neutral. We will continue working on reducing our emissions through effective measures such as using UPS climate neutral delivery, reusing packaging material, and using electric company cars.

ISO 14001

We’re proud to announce that fresh id has been awarded the prestigious ISO 14001:2015 accreditation by TÜV SÜD. In order to achieve this globally recognized award, we have evidenced our quality management systems, as well as the high level of quality customer service that we provide, while having a strong focus on sustainable development initiatives. ISO 14001:2015 is the International Standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS), and was designed to help businesses and other organizations to reduce their environmental impact.

Responsibility

How we generate as little waste as possible.

We take our responsibility as a company very seriously and try to generate as little waste as possible. In order to achieve this goal, we give discounts to customers who forego plastic packaging or select an environmentally friendly alternative instead. We partnered with the German Institute for Climate Neutrality and offer climate neutral productions that help our customers to offset their emissions. Our samples and prototypes are shipped climate neutral via UPS and we are a member of the The United Nations Global Compact initiative.
