Climate Action Plan and Strategy

Our planet can’t wait

On behalf of future generations, we have to act right now.

The world is facing unparalleled challenges from climate change. There’s an immediate need to reduce our impact.

We prioritize carbon reductions in our products while also transitioning to renewable energy, and supporting climate-impacted communities. But, we want to go beyond that to design for sustainability and address the full impact of our value chain. We’re focused on creating a positive impact so that, together, we can restore the world we share.

Our journey to Net Zero

To get to net zero, we need to make big changes. See the actions we’ve already taken and our goals for the future

OUR CLIMATE PLEDGE OUR SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS (SBTI VALIDATED)

1.5°C Climate Commitment

We committed to the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050.

Carbon Labeling

We were the first consumer electronics company to place carbon impact labels on our products, to hold ourselves to account for our impact and to raise awareness about carbon impact.

Designing for Sustainability

We design for sustainability and use renewable electricity to prioritize carbon reduction. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, we addressed residual emissions with high-quality certified offsets and carbon removals.

2030 Double Down

We’re doubling down our efforts to reduce our value chain carbon footprint by more than half and reduce our emissions to near-zero.

Net Zero

Beyond 2030, we will continue to work with our value chain partners to reduce our carbon emissions by more than 90% and address all residual carbon impact with carbon removals by 2047.

Our Strategy

Reduce

This is the heart of our strategy. We design for sustainability - to ensure every generation of Logitech product, experience and service is better than the last and we achieve ambitious carbon reductions in our products, operations, and supply chain.

China - Carbon reductions in our production facility

Achieving carbon neutrality with the help of energy efficiency programs and renewable electricity at our own production facility

In 2013 we set ourselves the target to reduce the carbon footprint of our production facility by 20% by 2018. When we hit this target, we decided to go further and commit to transitioning to 100% renewable electricity and addressing 100% of our residual footprint with high quality certified offsets. Through these actions, we would achieve carbon neutrality.

And we did. At a facility level, this was helped by a number of energy-efficiency programs, including programs to reduce absolute energy demand by replacing T5 lighting with LEDs, optimizing our use of air compressors and installing time controllers to power-down lighting and turn off drinking water fountains. We also continued to develop our metering program to help us track and understand hotspots of energy use, and identify reduction opportunities for targeted focus. In 2021, for example, we replaced one of our older compressors at our facility with a double-stage, high-efficiency air compressor and improved efficiency by an estimated 11%. We also upgraded two chillers. Those projects alone generated an estimated carbon saving of 630 tCO

Post-consumer recycled plastic

Making our products more circular by using post-consumer recycled plastic

We want to make Logitech products more circular. Virgin materials should be avoided, in favor of recycled materials. We use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic to give a second life to end-of-life plastic and help reduce our carbon footprint. We are applying PCR at scale across the company, targeting our largest product portfolios for the most impactful carbon reduction.

Using recycled plastic is a key part of our Design for Sustainability efforts. We are increasingly using recycled plastics across top-selling product lines for mice, keyboards, webcams and speakers.

Paper-based hang tabs

A new paper-based design that’s 100% recyclable

In 2021 we also introduced our 100% paper-based hang tabs – an innovative design solution that uses molded pulp to replace the plastic or regular cardboard used in previous designs. Unlike other paper-based hang tabs, our new design is specially reinforced to reduce the risk of tearing.

Because our new molded hang tab is 100% paper-based, it is also 100% recyclable.

Webcam packaging

A new paper-based design that’s 100% recyclable

In 2021, we significantly reduced the size, weight and material usage across a range of webcam packaging, with final package size reduced by up to 71%, depending on the product line. This change has also allowed us to reduce the number of pallets required for every shipment - a pallet can now take between 30% to 60% more units than before. All of this work has resulted in an estimated impact reduction of 1,773 tonnes of Carbon per year.

Eliminating single-use plastic: clamshells

Scaling up efforts to eliminate single-use plastic

In 2021 we continued to scale up our efforts to eliminate single-use plastic from our packaging. We developed a single-use plastic policy, highlighting our commitment to reducing plastic packaging as much as technically possible across all product ranges, with the long-term goal to eliminate it completely.

By switching to brown box packaging for products sold online we successfully eliminated over 1.1 million plastic clamshells from our portfolio this year.

Eliminating single-use plastic: plastic bags in distribution

Scaling up efforts to eliminate single-use plastic

We switched from using plastic to protect our packaging boxes in distribution to using tissue paper wrap in a number of product lines. This led to the elimination of more than 2.6 million plastic shipping bags from our portfolio of existing product lines, and an additional 3 million for newly-launched products.

Eliminating single-use plastic: plastic bags inside the retail box

Scaling up efforts to eliminate single-use plastic

We also eliminated the use of plastic bags inside the retail box for many of our product lines, using tissue wrap and soft paper-based bags to protect the product & accessories instead. This has resulted in the elimination of a further 5.8 million plastic bags.

ERGO M575 Packaging

Scaling up efforts to eliminate single-use plastic

In 2021 we launched ERGO M575, featuring an innovative packaging solution that delivers a 34% lower carbon footprint than its predecessor the M570, while reducing the weight of single-use plastic by 98%*.

By integrating assessments of environmental impact throughout the design and development process, the team arrived at a solution that completely removed the need for a plastic tray or plastic bag, instead of using an internal protective wrap made from paper to protect the product. To further reduce impact and material waste, all setup instructions were printed directly onto this protective paper-based wrap.

*Remaining plastic in M575: Tamper seal label (0.05g), and PP Lamination on the primary box (approx. 1g).

Our Strategy

Renew

We are transitioning away from fossil fuels. We use supply chain intelligence to identify and map the energy footprint of our full value chain and we work in partnership with our partners and suppliers to drive adoption of renewable electricity in our own operations and our supply chain.

Renewable electricity in our production facility

Balancing 100% of our electricity footprint

Our manufacturing operations comprise one production facility in Suzhou China, where our products are assembled and tested. This facility was established in 2005 and has achieved ISO 14001 certification year-on-year since 1999. Our commitment to continuous improvement of environmental performance includes a strong focus on energy efficiency, and we have implemented many energy efficiency programs over the lifespan of our responsible management of this facility.

In 2018, we decided to match 100% of the electricity footprint of our production facility with purchases of third-party certified renewable electricity. We have maintained this approach year-on-year since 2018.

Purchasing renewable electricity to match our electricity footprint

Our target is to achieve 100% renewable electricity (RE) in our own business by 2030 by purchasing renewable electricity to match our electricity demand.

We continue to be recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States

Renewable electricity in our supply chain

Supporting suppliers with the transition to renewable electricity.

We survey our Suppliers each year to understand and assess their electricity footprint and share current methodologies for modeling the carbon impact of manufacturing facilities.

In 2020, we invited our Major Suppliers to join us and support the transition to renewable electricity. To help and support suppliers, we launched the Logitech-Suppliers Renewable Electricity Buyers Club and we have established and co-hosted a portal every year since then, to enable suppliers to access and bulk purchase high quality, third-party certified renewable electricity.

Supply chain climate action

Logitech is a recognised Supplier Engagement Leader by CDP, a global nonprofit that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

Our carbon reduction programs extend deep into our value chain and are interdependent on the success of our suppliers. Only by working together with out suppliers, can we drive environmental action at scale.

Advocacy

Advocating a global transition from fossil fuels to renewables

We joined the RE100 Initiative in November 2019 to collaborate with other industry leaders to catalyze uptake of renewable electricity across the globe.

RE100’s mission is to accelerate a global shift to clean energy and zero-carbon grids – delivering a cleaner, healthier future for all.

We continue to advocate for the transition away from fossil fuels and the adoption of renewables and work to accelerate change towards zero-carbon grids at scale.

Our Strategy

Rethink

We are rethinking how we do business, innovating our materials, supply chains, and go-to-market opportunities. We are catalyzing business model evolution and we are focusing on carbon clarity - to hold ourselves accountable for the change we wish to be.
