Logitech Releases Fiscal 2025 Sustainability Impact Highlights

Progress in emissions reductions, use of circular materials and renewable energy. 

  • Carbon Emissions: Logitech reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 53% and Scope 3 emissions by 13% against baseline years.
  • Recycled Materials: Use of recycled plastic now implemented in 78% of all Logitech products, a 5% increase from last year.
  • Renewable Energy: Logitech achieved 93% renewable electricity usage across its major offices and production facilities.

Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today shared progress on its sustainability goals from its Fiscal Year 2025 impact highlights report.

This past fiscal year, Logitech cut its direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 53 percent and its value chain emissions (Scope 3) by 13 percent against its baseline years1. Carbon reduction programs across the company resulted in the elimination or avoidance of nearly 170,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2024.

“At Logitech, we know innovative, sustainable design matters to our customers,” said Hanneke Faber, CEO of Logitech. “By intentionally designing for sustainability - choosing lower-impact materials, reducing energy use, and cutting out waste at every turn - we are providing superior products and delivering measurable carbon footprint reductions. As our company grows, we will remain focused on delighting users while reducing absolute product carbon impact over the long-term.”

Designing for Sustainability

Logitech’s design process considers sustainability at every stage of product development: From design, to engineering, manufacturing, marketing and sales. In this year’s Sustainability Impact Highlights Report, the impact of ‘Designing for Sustainability’ is evident:

  • Logitech’s “Next Life” recycled plastics program has scaled significantly, with 78 percent of all products now containing recycled materials2.
  • Globally, 93 percent of Logitech’s electricity footprint comes from renewable purchases3. In 2024, the company also helped 64 suppliers purchase renewable energy, to address more than 90,000 tCO2e associated with supply chain manufacturing, the equivalent of 170,000+ MWh.
  • Logitech increased its use of low-carbon or recycled aluminum to 48 percent of applicable products4.
  • Logitech’s transition from plastic to paper for its hallmark mice category is nearly complete. This action removed an estimated 660 tonnes of plastic and avoided 6,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the air – the equivalent of eliminating the weight of 37+ million single-use water bottles annually5.
  • 25 percent of all Logitech product packaging is now FSCTM-certified,6 up from 19 percent last year.
  • Logitech expanded its carbon transparency program with 84 percent of products now labeled with a third-party reviewed carbon footprint7.
  • To design for longevity, Logitech now offers spare parts and repair guides for more than 20 products in more than 60 countries.

Inclusive by Design

Logitech’s sustainability efforts extend to social initiatives. The company continues to support programs like #WomenWhoMaster and Girls Who Code to enable women in technical fields. Through partnerships with organizations including AbleGamers Charity and Adaptive Action Sports, Logitech also works to create professional esports opportunities for gamers with disabilities.
