Logitech Boosts RE Purchases
Logitech International, a Swiss company that designs software-enabled hardware solutions, announced that 94% of the company’s electricity footprint globally comes from direct and indirect renewable electricity purchases.
The company's target is to achieve 100 % renewable electricity in its production facility and major offices by 2030. In 2023, a number of these offices had green utility contracts or used electricity certificates for their electricity demand.
Since 2019, the company lowered its carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) by 58% and reduced its value chain (Scope 3) emissions by 24% compared to 2021.
According to Logitech, minor modifications at the individual product level amounted to a reduction of 138,797 tons CO2e in 2024 across its portfolio and operations. By transitioning the portfolio to a lower product carbon footprint, 66% of all Logitech products now have a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) study complete, making it easier for enterprise technology buyers to make informed decisions about and report on the scope of their impact when outfitting personal workstations and conference rooms.
Across the company’s entire portfolio, 73% of products use Next Life Plastics (recycled plastic) instead of virgin plastic. Lower-impact components and materials like optimized printed circuit boards and low-carbon aluminum are used in 66 product lines. Responsibly sourced, FSC™-certified paper packaging is now utilized in 19% of products, with 73% of new product launches using this paper alternative over single-use plastic packaging.
The company is on target to carbon label all its products by the end of 2025 and has open-sourced its learnings and methodology for any company to use.
Logitech collaborates with suppliers to support their transition to renewable electricity. In recognition of this, CDP awarded Logitech with Supplier Engagement Leader status for the third year in a row. The company was also selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for Europe for the fifth consecutive year.
“Inclusion on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Europe is a testament to our unwavering commitment to action and designing for sustainability,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, chief operating officer at Logitech, in a statement. “Consumers and businesses increasingly rank sustainability as a value driver — a priority we embraced early on. By using innovative materials, technologies, and processes, we aim to cut carbon emissions and advance scalable circular solutions. Designing for sustainability shapes our products, operations, and business practices.”
