Axis Communications is committed to leading the way towards a low-carbon future in the security and mobility technology sector. The company has set ambitious science-based targets, aiming to reduce its own operational greenhouse gas emissions by 42% and its value chain emissions by 51.6% by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Axis’s approach to sustainability is holistic, spanning product design, manufacturing, logistics, and end-of-life recycling. Their current efforts include increasing the use of renewable and recycled materials in its products and packaging, phasing out hazardous substances, and innovating for durability and repairability. Its cameras and sensors are designed to minimise energy consumption, with technologies like Lightfinder reducing the need for external lighting.
In Japan, Axis is actively supporting the decarbonisation of transport and urban mobility. Its smart digital solutions, such as real-time data analytics from cameras and IoT devices, enable better traffic management, fleet tracking, and predictive maintenance, helping to reduce idle times, unnecessary trips, and fuel consumption. These efforts contribute to lower emissions and improved air quality in cities. Axis also collaborates with local partners to integrate environmental sensors for monitoring air quality and noise, further supporting cleaner, more efficient urban mobility systems.
Axis’s sustainability journey is underpinned by transparency, regular reporting, and a strong code of conduct. The company works closely with suppliers to ensure ethical practices and is committed to continuous improvement, driving projects that negate and even reverse the impact of its operations on climate change. Through innovation, partnerships, and responsible business practices, Axis aims to be a trusted leader in building a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world.
