Consumer electronics company Logitech has reported continued product carbon reduction progress at scale by designing for sustainability across its portfolio.
The company’s FY24 Impact Report reveals that three in four of its products use next life (recycled[ plastics, eliminating more than 25,000 tCO2e [tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent] in 2023. A total of 75,000 tCO2e and more than 30,000 tons of virgin plastic have been avoided since Logitech’s programme began in 2020.

19% of Logitech products use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified paper packaging and the majority (73%) of its new product introductions have moved to FSC-certified packaging.
The FSC system verifies the use of recycled materials and the responsible management of forests.
Logitech’s FY24 Impact Report provides a responsible packaging case study of its Casa Pop-Up Desk product – a foldaway kit with a laptop stand, keyboard and touchpad that achieved a 25% reduction in carbon impact through improved packaging design.
The company uses a single-piece, front-opening pizza box design with wraps applied in critical areas to deliver a friction-free structure. The paper-based tissue wrap aims for optimal thickness to eliminate the need for a tray, which allows for 20% more product per pallet compared to the unassembled/tray version.
Logitech’s overall FY24 Impact Report was developed with reference to Global Reporting Initiative standards, and in alignment with the United Nations Global Compact and UN sustainable development goals.
Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber commented: “In our quest to achieve our ambitious near-term target of reducing Scope 3 [the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but that the organisation indirectly affects in its value chain] emissions by 50% by 2030, we have now reduced our carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) [direct emissions owned or controlled by a company, and indirect emissions as a consequence of its activities] by 58% since 2019 and our value chain (Scope 3) emissions by 24% compared to 2021.”
