Veridos Leads the Way with Sustainable Product Portfolio

So far this year, I have interviewed two of Veridos’ senior management team for ID & Secure Document News™ – CEO, Marc-Julian Siewert and CFO, Dr Christian Thywissen. Both executives stressed the identity solutions company’s goal to be completely CO2 – neutral by 2040. So, on a recent visit to Munich, I took up the issue of sustainability with COO, Tobias Nüssle.

Entering the main offices of Veridos, you go through the normal access procedures of entering a high security facility and then swipe your visitor’s card at what looks like airport eGates. This seemed the ideal opportunity to open the discussion with Tobias about ePassports, and their impact on the environment.

Q: Thank you for reaching out to the readership of IDN on this very topical and important issue for the ID and secure document industry. Let’s step right into the details. Can you explain how ePassports contribute to climate change and what steps are being taken by Veridos to address this issue?
