Climate Action Strategy - Reduce, Renew & Restore | Logitech

This REDD+ forest conservation project is preventing deforestation across 105,000 hectares of pristine rainforest in the Amazon basin, while working with the farmers that live there to support their livelihoods and protect the trees. In addition to delivering a reduction of approximately 90,000 tCO₂e  each year through avoided deforestation. Education and training opportunities are provided to local communities with courses on how to grow bananas, chickpeas, cassava and corn; artisanal processing of fish; rearing organic pigs; and using rotational cattle pastures.This helps to improve farm productivity and income, provide more food and reduce the need for deforestation.

This project protects more than 156,000 acres of Boreal forests in British Columbia, from subdivision, high-impact logging and other environmental threats. Areas within the project are closely monitored to ensure strict biodiversity protection. Roads, infrastructure, activity and public access are strictly controlled and limited. Invasive species risks are managed and controlled. This approach safe-guards critical ecosystems delivering approximately 415,000 tCO₂e per annum, and conserving the natural environment to act as a carbon sink. The project leverages carbon finance to conserve critical ecosystems and carbon sequestration areas at an unprecedented scale. It also supports conservation research and enables livelihoods with low-level sustainable harvesting.

Henan Province is one of the poorer regions in China, where local communities routinely use coal-fired cooking stoves. These coal-fired stoves are an inefficient use of fossil fuels and a significant source of indoor smoke and air pollution—causing adverse health effects on families, particularly women and children. The Danjiang River Solar Cookers comprise a 1.7m² parabolic dish, which concentrates solar energy onto a central cooking pot, to provide sufficient heat to cook family dinners. This large-scale project helps more than 300,000 people by replacing older stoves in almost 100,000 households with solar cookers. This eliminates the need for coal-fired, inefficient cooking methods, and improves health and living conditions for families in Henan Province.

Rudong Wind Farm is an onshore wind farm with 50 wind turbines and an installed capacity of 100MW. The project is located in Rudong County of Jiangsu province and verified under the Clean Development Mechanism. In addition to delivering reductions of up to 170,000 tCO₂e per annum, the project employs 30 people and the project team work with the local Engineering Institute to support local education, capability-building, and understanding of clean energy and power plant operation.

The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve is an area of tropical peatland on the Island of Borneo in Indonesia. This project protects 65,000 hectares of carbon-dense tropical forest and peatlands by halting deforestation of rainforest areas originally designated for palm oil plantations. By providing support to this project, Logitech is helping to enable conservation of a REDD+ carbon sink and the protection of 105,000 endangered Borneo Orangutans. The project also provides livelihood opportunities for more than 2,500 households living within the project area—through education and agroforestry conservation—improving food security, income opportunities, health care, and education—all with the support of carbon finance.

Qinghai Province is part of Tibetan Plateau and lies at an altitude of more than 3,000m above sea level. Hailed as the "roof of the world", and the "water tower of Asia", the Plateau is a natural habitat for rare animals and a focus of China's efforts to create nature reserves, forests, grasslands and wetlands. Qinghai lake is the largest lake in China and sits at the crossroads of several bird migration routes across Asia. The project is located to the east of the lake and will restore 14,000 hectares with the planting of a resilient mix of native tree species including Spruce, Juniper, Pine, Poplar, Birch and Elm on barren or degraded lands, where there is no natural renewal or reforestation. The project also aims to support the local community by providing technical skills and training.
