Logitech Reports Carbon Reduction Progress in FY24 Impact Report
July 22, 2024 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Logitech International published its annual Fiscal Year 2024 Impact Report detailing the Company’s progress toward its sustainability ambition. The Company reports continued product carbon reduction progress at scale by Designing for Sustainability (DfS) across its portfolio. In 2023, modifications at the product level amounted to a reduction of nearly 139,000 tons CO2e across the Company’s portfolio and operations, equivalent to circling the Earth approximately 13,000 times1 in an average gasoline-powered car.
“Logitech continues its impactful and pioneering sustainability efforts,“ said Hanneke Faber, Logitech CEO. “In our quest to achieve our ambitious near-term target of reducing Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030, we have now reduced our carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) by 58% since 2019 and our value chain (Scope 3) emissions by 24% compared to 2021. Designing for Sustainability and using renewable energy sources will be our pathway to further lowering our footprint.”
Designing for Sustainability
Logitech leverages the power of design to spur innovation and scale progress. Environmental and social impacts are conscientiously factored into every design decision from the moment raw materials are sourced right through to the end-of-life of a product. The Company intentionally incorporates product carbon footprint reduction into its design criteria across its portfolio. The FY24 Impact Report features several products that have achieved carbon reductions by implementing DfS, including Wave Keys wireless keyboard with a 37% carbon footprint reduction compared to the 1st generation and Casa Pop-Up Desk with a 34% carbon footprint reduction compared to a ‘do nothing’ scenario. By enhancing and scaling its design for sustainability competencies, the Company has reduced its carbon footprint and achieved the following:
- 3 in 4 products use Next Life Plastics (recycled plastic), eliminating more than 25,000 tCO2e in 2023. A total of 75,000 tCO2e and over 30,000 tons of virgin plastic have been avoided since the program began in 2020.
- Transparency: 66% of Logitech products are now carbon labeled, up from 42% in 2022. The Company is on target to carbon label all its products by the end of 2025.
- 66 product lines use low-carbon aluminum, produced with renewable energy, eliminating more than 13,000 tCO2e in 2023.
- 19% of products use FSC™-certified paper packaging, and the majority (73%) of new product introductions have moved to FSC™-certified packaging.
- Across the globe, 94% of the Company’s electricity footprint comes from direct and indirect renewable electricity purchases.
An Advocate for Equity & Inclusion
Logitech has successfully achieved gender parity at the top of the Company. Its leadership team has a 50:50 male-to-female ratio and is led by a female CEO. Its Board of Directors posts 40% female representation.
The Company continues to elevate programs and products that promote equity and inclusivity in communities throughout the world. In addition to working towards narrowing the gender gap in the tech industry at large, it is focused on creating safe and inclusive digitally accessible environments and partnering with organizations like Girls Who Code, AbleGamers, GLAAD, Team4Tech, and The Royal College of Art in London. Its continued work with Pensole Lewis College (PLC), a historically Black college, furthers design creativity and advances STEAM educational programs in BIPOC communities.
Additionally, the Company’s Supplier Diversity Pledge encourages Black, Women, and Minority-owned partnerships and it has expanded outreach to diverse suppliers. It also maintained its Gender Fair certification for the 3rd year since co-founding the Coalition for Gender Fair Procurement in 2021.
Logitech’s FY24 Impact Report was developed with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and in alignment with the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
