Logitech Reports 33 Per Cent Reduction In Scope 3 Emissions In FY26 Impact Report

Logitech has released its Fiscal Year 2026 Impact Highlights Report, reporting a 49 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and a 33 per cent reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to its stated baseline years.

The reductions are third-party verified and calculated against baseline years of CY2019 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and CY2021 for Scope 3, in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The company’s 2030 targets are an 85 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 and a 50 per cent reduction in Scope 3. The FY26 reporting period covers April 2025 through March 2026.

Hanneke Faber, Logitech CEO, pointed to the company’s two-decade focus on sustainability as the driver behind the figures.

“Over the past two decades, Logitech has increasingly placed sustainability at the heart of our business, and that long-term commitment is yielding results,” Faber commented. “We embed our Design for Sustainability practices into every aspect of our business, from our values to our global supply chain, because doing good for people and the planet is good for business.”

Carbon Avoidance And Renewable Energy

Beyond absolute emissions reductions, Logitech reported avoiding more than 200,000 tCO2e during the fiscal year. The figure is third-party verified and calculated as emissions avoided through company programs compared with a scenario of no intervention.

The largest single contributor was the company’s Supplier Renewable Electricity Buyers Club, which accounted for 113,639 tCO2e in avoided emissions. The program has grown to 127 suppliers who collectively purchased more than 195,000 MWh of renewable electricity.

Recycled plastics accounted for 55,042 tCO2e in avoided emissions, low-carbon aluminum contributed 12,692 tCO2e and architectural design improvements along with power efficiency changes accounted for 19,001 tCO2e.

Logitech achieved 94 per cent renewable electricity in its own production facilities and controlled offices.

Materials And Product Carbon Transparency

Elaine Laird, Chief People and Sustainability Officer, described the company’s approach to understanding and reducing its environmental footprint.

“We work to deeply understand our impact through lifecycle analyses that provide data and insights for both Logitech and the industry,” Laird explained. “We apply these insights at scale to innovate and reduce the environmental impact of our product portfolio. We endeavour to do this with transparency and accountability, to build trust among our stakeholders and to drive meaningful progress.”

The report details several material milestones. Eighty-one per cent of Logitech products now use post-consumer recycled plastics. Forty-three per cent of the aluminum in Logitech products is low-carbon or recycled. Fifty-five per cent of product lines shipped are PVC-free, up from 44 per cent in the prior year.

One hundred per cent of target products now carry a third-party reviewed Product Carbon Footprint study, completing a goal the company has been working toward since 2020 when it became one of the first consumer electronics companies to put a carbon impact label on a product. Coverage rose from 4 per cent in FY21 to 17 per cent in FY22, 42 per cent in FY23, 66 per cent in FY24 and 84 per cent in FY25 before reaching full coverage this year. Logitech’s carbon footprint methodology is open-source.

Carbon Footprint Reductions Across Products

The report includes case studies on individual products showing carbon footprint reductions compared to predecessors.

The MX Master 4 mouse achieved a 16 per cent carbon footprint reduction. Its casing is built with a minimum of 48 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic, the thumbwheel uses low-carbon aluminum and the battery is made with 100 per cent recycled cobalt. The recycled cobalt lithium-ion battery was developed by HighPower, a 2023 Future Positive Challenge winner. The mouse also eliminates painted plastic entirely, using micro textures instead, which makes disassembly and recycling easier.

The Signature Slim Solar+ K980 keyboard achieved a 47 per cent carbon footprint reduction. It is powered by Logi LightCharge technology that converts solar and artificial light into stored power, runs for up to four months on a full charge and uses 73 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic in its graphite version. The keyboard’s battery is designed to last up to 10 years and can be replaced at home through the company’s iFixit partnership.

The G522 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming headset achieved a 29 per cent reduction, in part through removing a PCB from the speaker design and replacing it with embedded contacts. The RS50 racing wheel system achieved a 43 per cent carbon footprint avoidance through silicone leather, low-carbon aluminum, 28 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic and optimised motor architecture.

The Zone Wireless 2 ES headset achieved a 12 per cent reduction, using 100 per cent recycled cobalt in the battery, 100 per cent post-consumer recycled rare earth metals in the magnets and 100 per cent recycled plastic in the travel bag.

Packaging

Logitech removed 2,500 tonnes of packaging material over the past three years.

In FY26 alone, the company removed 580 tonnes of plastic through its clamshell-to-paper packaging transition across all hallmark mice lines. The company estimates this avoided the equivalent of 33 million single-use water bottles and 6,000 tCO2e. An additional 520 tonnes of material was eliminated through lightweighting across consumer and customer-facing packaging.

FSC-certified paper packaging reached 31 per cent of units shipped, exceeding the company’s 25 per cent target. The prior year reached 28 per cent.

Bliss Buter-Thompson, Head of Packaging at Logitech, described the approach.

“We look at big projects like the plastic clamshell, but this year we’ve focused on more iterative work,” Buter-Thompson explained. “Replacing seal labels, hanging tabs, protective materials inside shippers the customer doesn’t even see. These all make a difference at scale.”

Repair And Circularity

Logitech’s collaboration with iFixit now supports 69 product lines, up from 22 in FY24, a 300 per cent increase. There are 133 iFixit parts available across more than 75 countries via seven Logitech-iFixit hubs, with 81 repair guides available. Spare parts sales increased nine-fold compared to FY25.

Four pilot products – the MX Master 4 mouse, Signature Slim Solar+ wireless keyboard, G522 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming headset and Zone Wireless 2 headset – are testing day-one repair readiness. Battery repair coverage is being explored across priority product families including MX Keys keyboards, the MX Master 4, Zone headsets and the G915 LIGHTSPEED mechanical gaming keyboard.

The company’s refurbishment program diverted 94,000 units from waste: 33,000 certified refurbished units, 42,000 units sold via marketplaces and eBay, and 19,000 units used for warranty replacements. The refurbished portfolio expanded by 32 new product lines and 70 new SKUs. Secondary-grade sales increased 218 per cent compared to FY25.

More than 281,000 units were recycled in FY26 and more than 40,000 open-box products were donated to charities and educational institutions.

Mohamed Abokersh, Circularity Program Manager at Logitech, framed repair as a growing capability.

“Repair is not sitting at the edge of the business. It’s becoming a company capability, a core part of how we work,” Abokersh stated.

Future Positive Challenge

Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge, an annual technology program for sustainability-focused startups, attracted 406 applicants across five categories in 2025. The company announced three winners with an estimated long-term potential to reduce 10,000 tCO2e.

Winners included Bin-e, a Polish smart technology provider partnering with Logitech on an AI-powered e-waste recycling bin; Jiva, a UK-based startup developing fully recyclable and biodegradable PCB substrates; and Flint, a Singapore-based startup developing rechargeable paper low-carbon batteries.

Past winner Elephantech, a Japan-based startup whose SustainaCircuits technology uses inkjet printing and copper plating in PCB manufacturing, has reached production scale. Logitech has integrated the technology into its MX Vertical Ergonomic mouse. Denmark-based Ole Wolff, another past participant, has developed Reduced Environmental Impact headphone drivers now being integrated at product level.

Accessibility

The report covers Logitech’s accessibility work across several product lines. The Adaptive Pebble mouse uses a removable magnetic top plate that enables 3D-printed add-ons for different hand mobility needs. Rally AI cameras use edge AI to automatically frame speakers in meeting rooms. Zone Wireless 2 and Zone Vibe headsets are ADA hearing aid compatible, designed to work with any hearing aid containing a telecoil.

Rosie Frost, Head of Design for Accessibility at Logitech, described the approach.

“A design change in favour of accessibility is small for someone who doesn’t have a disability, but huge for the person that does,” Frost noted. “At the end of the day, if you re-express accessibility, it’s just a better, more usable product.”

Diversity And Responsible AI

Logitech reports a 50 per cent female leadership team and 36 per cent female board representation. The company has maintained Gender Fair recognition, won the Diversity in Tech Social Impact award and has been a member of the Responsible Business Alliance for 20 years. It adheres to the United Nations Global Compact.

On AI, Logitech has published Responsible AI Principles covering transparency, accountability, fairness, privacy and security, applied from the design phase of product development.

Industry Recognition

Logitech was included in TIME Magazine’s top 50 sustainable companies, listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index and ranked 25th in Forbes’ Best Employers out of 900 global companies. The company holds MSCI AAA rating, ISS ESG Prime Status, EcoVadis Gold and Sustainalytics “Top-Rated” status.
