• Scope 3: Creating collaborative dynamics with our suppliers and encouraging shared responsibility across our ecosystem.

IST’s Sustainable Offering for Mobile Connectivity

Frédéric Moreira highlighted how IST’s products and services drive carbon reduction.

IST’s track record includes:

• Launching the first half SIM format in 2012

A major milestone is APOCa (A Plug On Cardboard card), the first cardboard-based SIM card support, offering verified biodegradability.

Bridging Connectivity Suppliers and End Users

Alexis Trichet, VP Strategic Data and Customers Insights at Orange France, presented the successful collaboration between IST and Orange France, driving progress towards net zero emissions by 2040. Both companies partnered to produce the “Green Welcome Pack”—a more sustainable, simplified kit that reduces Orange’s carbon footprint and reinforces CSR integration throughout its operations and marketing.
