Accelerating the Pace of Change - Seite 2

Another example is low-carbon aluminum, which is produced with renewable energy instead of fossil fuel energy. Logitech uses aluminum in keyboards, tablet accessories, gaming racing wheels, gaming headsets, webcams, and business conference room cameras. 66 product lines across its portfolio now use low-carbon aluminum, saving 13,000 tCO2e in 2023. That's the same amount of energy it takes to fully charge nearly 780 million smartphones and maintain that charge throughout the day.

Logitech also manufactures in factories that purchase renewable electricity and in 2023 it partnered with a utility vendor to install solar panels across the roof of its main production facility. It has incorporated smart battery features to lower battery consumption and optimize product use. Recycled fabrics are used where possible in its newest designs, including speakers. Nearly 20% of products use FSCTM-certified paper packaging, including 73% of new product introductions. Transitioning away from single-use plastic packaging toward paper packaging supports circular alternatives and enables curbside recycling where facilities exist.

Reducing carbon footprint

Accelerate and scale. That's the approach driving Logitech's success in reducing its carbon footprint. When nearly 60% of its overall company footprint comes from sourcing and manufacturing its products, finding the hidden impacts quickly and scaling solutions to reduce them will accelerate change.

Gone are the days of ‘slow and steady wins the race'. Accelerate and scale to reduce carbon emissions now and increase the pace of change is how Logitech operates.
