Logitech has published its annual Fiscal Year 2024 Impact Report detailing its progress toward its sustainability ambition including 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 tonnes CO2e across its portfolio and operations, equivalent to circling the Earth approximately 13,000 times in an average gasoline-powered car.

“Logitech continues its impactful and pioneering sustainability efforts. 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,” Logitech CEO, Hanneke Faber said.

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 first 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, Logitech has achieved the following:

  • Three in four products use Next Life Plastics eliminating more than 25,000 tonnes of CO2e in 2023. A total of 75,000 tonnes CO2e and over 30,000 tonnes of virgin plastic have been avoided since the program began in 2020.
  • Two-thirds (66%) of Logitech products are now carbon labelled, 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 aluminium produced with renewable energy, eliminating more than 13,000 tonnes CO2e in 2023.
  • 19% of products use FSC-certified paper packaging, and almost three-quarters (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.

Logitech has also 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.

In addition to working towards narrowing the gender gap in the tech industry, Logitech is focused on creating safe and inclusive digitally accessible environments and partnering with organisations like Girls Who Code, AbleGamers, GLAAD, Team4Tech, and The Royal College of Art in London. 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).
