Logitech has released its FY26 Impact Highlights Report, showing a 33% reduction in Scope 3 emissions.

The report also shows a 49% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions against baseline years: CY2019 for Scope 1 and 2, and CY2021 for Scope 3. Logitech described the reductions as absolute cuts calculated in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

It also said it had avoided more than 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through programmes measured against a no-intervention scenario. In addition, all products within its target boundary now have a third-party reviewed Product Carbon Footprint study available.

The target boundary excludes certain low-volume and other specified products. Logitech said 92% of units shipped in December 2025 had a third-party reviewed Product Carbon Footprint, representing full coverage of products within the defined target group.

Materials and repairs

The report also outlines changes in product design and materials. Logitech said 81% of product lines shipped in December 2025 were made with post-consumer recycled plastic.

It also said 55% of product lines shipped are now free of detectable polyvinyl chloride, up from 44% a year earlier. In packaging, Logitech said it had removed 2,500 tonnes of material over the past three years by eliminating plastic clamshells and changing shipping container layouts.

Repairability was another area highlighted in the report. Logitech said it had expanded its work with iFixit to cover 69 product lines with spare parts and step-by-step repair guides, three times the number supported two years earlier.

The company linked these measures to what it calls Design for Sustainability, an internal approach covering governance, staffing, manufacturing, supply chain and product development. Logitech said the framework is intended to build environmental considerations into business operations and product decisions.

Hanneke Faber, Chief Executive Officer at Logitech, commented on the company's broader approach.

"Over the past two decades, Logitech has increasingly placed sustainability at the heart of our business. And today, that long-term commitment is yielding significant results," said Hanneke Faber, Chief Executive Officer at Logitech. "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."

Tracking impact

The report emphasises lifecycle analysis and product-level carbon measurement. Logitech said these assessments are being used to identify where environmental impact can be reduced across its portfolio.

Elaine Laird, Chief People & Sustainability Officer at Logitech, said the company uses data from those assessments to guide decisions.

"We work to deeply understand our impact through lifecycle analyses that provide data and insights for both Logitech and the industry," said Elaine Laird, Chief People & Sustainability Officer at Logitech. "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 latest figures come as consumer electronics companies face closer scrutiny over emissions tied to supply chains, materials and product lifecycles. Scope 3 emissions, which typically include purchased goods, transport, product use and end-of-life treatment, are often the largest share of a technology hardware company's carbon footprint.

By contrast, Scope 1 and 2 emissions cover direct operations and purchased energy, which companies generally control more directly. Logitech's report indicates that its cuts in both categories were measured against baseline years and reviewed by third parties.

Logitech also pointed to external recognition of its sustainability work, including inclusion in rankings compiled by Time, Newsweek and the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index. These mentions sit alongside the operational measures outlined in the report, including emissions, materials, packaging and repairs.

More specific figures, including repair support for 69 product lines and the removal of 2,500 tonnes of packaging material, point to a focus on product lifespan and waste reduction alongside carbon accounting.

Logitech said 100% of target products now have a third-party reviewed Product Carbon Footprint study available, allowing customers to make more informed decisions.
