Logitech’s Commitment to Sustainability
At Logitech, equality and the environment are core values, and we’ve made great strides to ensure they are at the center of everything we do. Sustainability is core to every design decision from the moment raw materials are sourced to the end-of-life of a product. Our ultimate purpose is to create products that extend human capability and help all people pursue their passions in a way that is good for people and the planet.
At Logitech, we are transparent about our impact and hold ourselves accountable for reducing it. We are the first consumer electronics company to commit to labeling all of our products with their carbon footprint.
Logitech’s most recent annual sustainability report, titled FY23 Impact Report, marks the 15th reporting year for the company. The FY23 Impact Report intentionally reflects our expanded commitment and approach to measuring and understanding our impact and progress. Transparency is critical.
“As part of our long-term journey toward climate positivity, our 15th Impact Report illustrates how our teams, including our value chain partners, are making meaningful progress on lifecycle carbon reductions,” says Prakash Arunkundrum, chief operating officer at Logitech. “There is much work to be done, but the future we want is possible, and the path forward is clear.”
As a design-led company, we realize that the biggest opportunities to reduce environmental impact and enhance social impact arise early in the design process when key decisions about a product are made. Indeed, the sourcing and manufacture of materials, components, and products accounts for more than 50% of our total impact. So we reimagined our product development process to design for sustainability (DfS).
Design for Sustainability means that we consider sustainability as part of every design decision. It’s not an afterthought. Our in-house design and engineering teams can "design-out" impacts. We consider the full lifecycle of our products and design for low carbon impact and high recyclability.
“Our commitments and actions are informed by an understanding of our impact,” according to Robert O’Mahony, head of sustainability, global operations at Logitech. He notes that we continue to broaden our knowledge and capability to ensure we account for the entire scope of that impact — climate, biodiversity, social, and more.
Among the achievements documented in the FY23 Impact Report are these:
- Exceeded our carbon reduction, renewable electricity, and external metrics goals
- Reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 56% and decreased carbon intensity by 74% since 2019
- Reduced Scope 3 value chain emissions by more than 21% since 2021
Nearly two in three (2:3) products now use post-consumer recycled plastic, lowering carbon and environmental impact across the portfolio
Over 50% of new products have FSC™-certified packaging and 11% of all Logitech products use FSC™-certified packaging
42% of Logitech products shipped in 2022 had a product carbon footprint label compared to 17% in 2021; currently on track to have 100% of products carbon impact labeled by 2025
Logitech facilities across the globe are powered by 94% renewable electricity
