LEGO Group Increases RE, Sustainable Sources

The LEGO Group made substantial investments to reduce its environmental footprint by increasing the amount of sustainable sources used in its products.

In 2024, half of the materials purchased to make LEGO bricks were produced with sustainable sources, including 47% certified mass balance, translating to an estimated average of 33% material from renewable sources. 

An additional 3% of the material the company uses to make its products came from segregated sustainable sources. In 2023, 18% of purchases was certified mass balance, translating to an estimated average of 12% sustainable materials.

In an effort to decrease carbon emissions at its factories, the LEGO Group continued phasing out natural gas heating in Denmark, installed geothermal energy in Hungary, and increased solar energy capacity in China, Czech Republic and Denmark by 43%.

The company expects to see the positive impact of these investments on emissions in the next few years, which will help achieve its science-based target.

Details were included in the LEGO Group’s 2024 annual results. 

“2024 was an exceptional year for the LEGO Group and we are very pleased with our strong performance,” said The LEGO Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen in a statement. “We achieved record top- and bottom-line results even as we accelerated spending on strategic priorities, including a significant increase in the purchases of sustainable raw materials. We are encouraged by these strong results as they will allow us to continue to reach more children with LEGO play experiences now and in the future.”
