Company releases FY24 Impact Report detailing
environmental and social achievements
Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) 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).
