Logitech's latest Impact Highlights Report shows significant progress in cutting emissions while embedding circularity into product design and manufacturing.
The company is increasing the use of recycled materials, reducing packaging waste, and expanding product recycling to extend the life of its devices.
Alongside environmental efforts, Logitech is investing in STEM education and initiatives that encourage more women to pursue careers in computer science.

Logitech has outlined its latest sustainability achievements, highlighting how circular design, lower-carbon materials, and inclusive technology initiatives are shaping its business strategy. The company's FY26 Impact Highlights Report details progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while redesigning products to use fewer resources and generate less waste.

Founded in Switzerland in 1981, Logitech develops computer accessories and software and operates in more than 102 countries with a workforce of around 7,300 employees. The company says sustainability has become a core part of its product development and long-term growth strategy.

The report shows that Logitech reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 49% during fiscal year 2026. It is targeting an 85% reduction by 2030 compared with its 2019 baseline. The company has also cut Scope 3 emissions by 33% against its 2021 baseline and remains on track toward its goal of reducing these emissions by 50% by 2030.

Overall, Logitech estimates that more than 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) emissions have been avoided across its products, supply chain, and wider value chain through the adoption of renewable energy and lower-carbon materials.

Chief Executive Officer Hanneke Faber said sustainability has been integrated into every part of the company's operations over the past two decades. She noted that lifecycle assessments help the business understand the environmental impact of its products and guide decisions that reduce emissions while supporting innovation.

A major focus of the company's strategy is product circularity, with products being designed for longer use, easier repair, refurbishment, and recycling.

According to the report, 81% of Logitech products now contain recycled plastic, while 43% of the aluminium used across its portfolio comes from recycled or low-carbon sources. These changes are intended to reduce dependence on virgin materials and support a more circular economy.

The company also reported that more than 281,000 product units were recycled during 2025-26. Packaging improvements have further reduced material use, eliminating over 520 tonnes of packaging material. Logitech also removed around 580 tonnes of plastic by replacing plastic clamshell packaging for its computer mice with more sustainable alternatives.

Sènami Aklé, Head of Design for Sustainability, said achieving ambitious environmental targets requires moving beyond conventional approaches by exploring new materials, manufacturing techniques, and product design methods.

Beyond its environmental commitments, Logitech continues to invest in programs that promote diversity in technology. Research commissioned by the company found that 90% of women working in computer science in the United States experienced feelings of isolation during their education or careers.

To address this challenge, Logitech collaborates with organizations including Girls Who Code, iWish, Aspire for Her, and Switzerland's EPFL to provide mentorship, networking opportunities, workshops, and career guidance. Since 2020, its partnership with Girls Who Code has supported 8,228 students through summer programs, volunteer-led sessions, resume reviews, and speaker events.

Chief People & Sustainability Officer Elaine Laird said these partnerships are designed to break down barriers for women in STEM and create stronger pathways into the technology sector.

Through its latest sustainability report, Logitech demonstrates how Logitech designs computer technology for circularity extends beyond product innovation, combining emissions reductions, responsible material use, waste minimization, and social initiatives to build a more sustainable technology business.
