Who We Support

Across the Logitech brands, in acts big and small, individual employees and teams have responded to the Coronavirus pandemic by impacting Healthcare, Education, and the communities we touch.

Video-Enabled Telemedicine Carts

Design and Print 3D Valves for Ventilator Masks

CORK, IRELAND

The Cork Design and Engineering teams used their expertise to design and 3D print valves for snorkel-based ventilator masks that are now in stock at the local hospital. The team is engaged with a government supported task force on how to ramp up to 400-500 valve sets for use in other local hospitals, optimizing the design, and engaging others to print thousands more sets for hospitals across Ireland.

Sourcing Face Masks Across the Globe

Our Operations team is bringing their procurement strength to bear by sourcing masks from across the globe. We initially distributed approximately 100,000 masks in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. We’ve since shipped an additional 15,000 masks to U.S., Ireland, Switzerland, Italy and Netherlands sites for delivery to health workers and hospitals, with another 100,000 planned for global distribution.

Education

Teach from Home Kits Donated

K-12 teachers are receiving thousands of webcam and headset bundles to teach outside the classroom. We were overwhelmed by the number of requests and look forward to donating more when we’re able. Learn more about effective strategies for distance learning in this webinar and see our additional resources for educators. We continue to look for ways to assist the education community.

Daily Employee Meals Donated to Healthcare Workers at Local Hospitals

Our Chennai employees have donated their daily meal allocation from Kadhir Dhaan /Eco kitchen directly to Royapettah General Hospital and the Government Specialty Hospital (Omandur estate) for Covid health care workers, patient attenders, and staff. From the initiative we will be able to support 250 meals/day for these deserving people.

Designing a Home Face Shield Hack

We are a design-led company, and were concerned about the shortage of face protection available. We all know that the priority is to save the N-95 rated face masks and medical-grade shields for the front line health and emergency response teams. So we challenged our design teams to create an alternative for the rest of us.

“The recent COVID-19 pandemic has shown that Logitech wants to, and is, driving change. From individuals helping neighbors with equipment to teach classes and run their businesses remotely, to our sites donating supplies, and using our sourcing strength to procure masks from around the globe. The company is also donating products both in public and private.”
