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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

This project comprises 50,061 ha of forestry in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province of China. The project site was originally a barren hill, which has now been planted with native trees (China fir, Cypresses, Yunnan pine and Masson pine).

The project sequesters carbon through biomass growth while also providing native habitat for numerous species and livelihood opportunities in the local communities where individuals are now engaged in forest management activities. This project is certified to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) as well as the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS).

Logitech has purchased offsets from a number of windfarm projects in China. These projects utilise wind turbines to generate electricity with zero greenhouse gas emissions. In the absence of these projects, electricity delivered to the grid would have been generated by grid-connected power plants running on fossil fuels.

The primary objective of the Agrocortex REDD Project is to avoid the unplanned deforestation of the 186,369.66 ha project area, consisting of 100% Amazon rainforest, in the States of Acre and Amazonas, South-western Amazon.

In addition to contributing to the long-term conservation of the region, the Agrocortex REDD Project also has the function of establishing a barrier against the advancement of deforestation, making an important contribution to the conservation of South-western Amazon biodiversity and also to climate regulation in Brazil and South America.

The Project is located in Gansu Province, in the People's Republic of China. The purpose of the Project is to generate electricity using wind power to deliver to the Northwest China Power Grid, which is predominated powered by fossil fuel power plants, including coal-fired plants.

This generated electricity will partially displace electricity currently generated from grid connected conventional fossil fuel based thermal power plants, while reducing emissions of 430,588 tCO

This project is located in the inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China and the core goal of the project is to deliver Improved Forest Management (IFM) through the conversion of logged forest to protected forest. The project area comprises more than 20,000 ha of land with wildlife species such as Birch(Betula platyphylla) and Larch (Larix gmelinii). Before the implementation of the project activity, the trees in the project area were harvested in compliance with a government-approved timber management plan.

The implementation of the project converted the area to a protected forest to avoid the emission of greenhouse gases associated with logging. The project activities also contribute to environmental management in the area, including but not limited to biodiversity conservation and soil erosion control.

This project is one of the largest REDD+ projects in the world and one of only a handful of projects to achieve validation and verification to the VCS-CCB with Triple Gold Distinction. The project safeguards approximately 200,000 hectares of pristine rainforest in the Amazon Basin from deforestation while working with the farmers that live there, to support their livelihoods. In addition to delivering carbon reductions of approximately 1.2 million tCO₂e each year through avoided deforestation, the project provides education and training opportunities to local communities including offering agricultural extension training courses; establishing a local headquarters with a local pharmacy and health clinic; and building community bathrooms; to eventually granting land tenure to local communities and establishing alternative economic activities including commercializing the collection of medicinal plants and açaí.
