HID, a leader in trusted identity solutions based in Austin, Texas, is committed to environmental sustainability beyond annual observances like Earth Day. The company highlights its dedication to sustainable practices through various initiatives and achievements.
The company boasts the first LEED Platinum-certified industrial facility in Texas, showcasing its commitment to eco-friendly design and construction. Additionally, HID participates in the City of Austin’s GreenChoice Program by sourcing 100% of its energy from wind power.
In 2024, HID reduced its energy consumption by 9%, thanks to an energy management program with Syntergy EMS that optimizes building controls such as lighting and HVAC systems. Paper usage was also cut by 36% due to a shift from paper-based processes to electronic ordering systems within production areas. Furthermore, the company maintains a landfill diversion rate of 74%, recycling most of its waste instead of sending it to landfills.
Supporting these efforts is HID’s internal Green Team, which conducts audits to identify opportunities for conserving water, saving energy, and reducing waste.
HID’s sustainability efforts extend into the local community as well. As a Silver Sponsor of Keep Austin Beautiful, the company participates in the Adopt-A-Street Program. In 2025 alone, volunteers collected 540 pounds of trash during cleanups on Center Ridge Drive as part of Keep Austin Beautiful Day.
Additionally, HID supports environmental education through events like a Sustainability Lunch & Learn for local homeschool students. This event provided hands-on learning about green practices and conservation.
As part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, HID aligns with global commitments to sustainable growth by investing continually in people, planet, and performance.
