Our commitment to the environment

IDQ places strong emphasis on environmental stewardship, with actions aimed at decarbonizing operations and products, preserving natural resources, and fostering circular economy practices.

Decarbonizing our operations and products

IDQ is actively reducing its carbon footprint across the entire value chain — from operations and supply chain, to product use and employee activities — to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

100% renewable energy: IDQ operates entirely on certified renewable electricity from solar and hydropower, supporting local biodiversity and innovation in clean energy.
Eco-designed products: We reduce environmental impact by designing lighter, more energy-efficient systems.
Sustainable mobility: We promote low-carbon transport, encouraging rail and bicycle travel over flights and car use, and support flexible working.
Carbon offsetting: Remaining emissions from business travel and logistics are offset through certified climate protection projects with myclimate.

Respecting the environment and natural resources

IDQ is committed to safeguarding natural resources and minimizing environmental impact by ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations and embedding responsible material management across its operations and products.

Regulatory excellence: We strictly comply with international environmental regulations, including REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS requirements, protecting human health and ecosystems from hazardous substances.
Responsible materials management: We prioritize the careful handling of hazardous substances and actively pursue safer alternatives wherever feasible, reducing environmental and health risks throughout our value chain.

Advancing the circular economy

IDQ is committed to embedding circular economy principles across the entire product lifecycle — reducing waste, extending product value, and maximizing resource efficiency.

Product take-back and reuse: We recover end-of-life products from customers and prioritize the reuse of components wherever technically and economically feasible, extending material lifecycles and reducing waste.
Waste reduction and recovery: Across our production sites, offices, and supply chain, we promote waste recovery and prioritize reuse over disposal.
Strategic partnerships: We collaborate with specialized partners to optimize waste management — including intelligent waste sorting, material reuse and recycling (paper, glass, metals, plastics), and composting solutions that divert waste from incineration and give organic materials a second life.
