Sustainability Report
Highlights – 2024
Antares Vision’s strategic guidelines are aligned with the goal of contributing to sustainable development, in line with the industry’s macro trends and scenarios. These reflect the impact of evolving regulations aimed at ensuring health, safety, and improving people’s quality of life, with greater attention to environmental protection and the responsible use of natural resources. The objective is to make production systems for essential goods—such as those in the food supply chain—more efficient.
Antares Vision Group’s business focuses on the design and commercialization of hardware and software traceability solutions that ensure supply chain transparency from producers to end users. These solutions help prevent greenwashing practices, such as false labels claiming the use of recyclable materials on rigid containers.
