Logitech has announced significant progress on its sustainability goals for Fiscal Year 2025, achieving a 53% reduction in direct emissions and implementing recycled materials in 78% of its product portfolio.
The Swiss computer peripherals manufacturer, whose products retail from $30 for basic mice to over $500 for premium gaming equipment in Australia, released its sustainability highlights report today from Sydney, demonstrating measurable progress across multiple environmental initiatives.
The company reported substantial cuts to its carbon footprint, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 53% and Scope 3 emissions by 13% against baseline years.
These reductions resulted in the elimination or avoidance of nearly 170,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2024, a significant achievement for a company producing millions of devices annually.
"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," said CEO Hanneke Faber.
Logitech's "Next Life" recycled plastics program has expanded considerably, with 78% of all products now containing recycled materials, up from 73% the previous year.
The company also increased its use of low-carbon or recycled aluminium to 48% of applicable products.
The transition to renewable energy has been equally impressive, with 93% of Logitech's electricity footprint now coming from renewable purchases.
The company extended this commitment to its supply chain, helping 64 suppliers purchase renewable energy to address more than 90,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
In a move particularly relevant to Australian consumers who purchase millions of computer mice annually, Logitech has nearly completed its transition from plastic to paper packaging for its hallmark mice category.
This shift alone removed an estimated 660 tonnes of plastic and avoided 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to eliminating the weight of 37 million single-use water bottles annually.
Additionally, 25% of all Logitech product packaging is now FSC-certified, up from 19% last year, ensuring responsible forest management practices.
Supporting the growing right-to-repair movement, Logitech now offers spare parts and repair guides for more than 20 products in over 60 countries, including Australia.
This initiative helps consumers extend product lifespans rather than replacing entire devices.
The company has also expanded its carbon transparency program, with 84% of products now labelled with third-party reviewed carbon footprints, allowing Australian consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions.
Beyond environmental efforts, Logitech continues to support diversity in technology through programs like #WomenWhoMaster and Girls Who Code.
The company also partners with organisations, including AbleGamers Charity and Adaptive Action Sports, to create professional esports opportunities for gamers with disabilities.
For Australian consumers, these sustainability improvements come without premium pricing, as Logitech maintains competitive pricing across its range from entry-level office peripherals to high-end gaming equipment, demonstrating that environmental responsibility doesn't require compromising on affordability or performance.
