How Logitech Designs Computer Technology for Circularity

Logitech's latest report details its efforts in sustainable technology, material circularity and computer education.

Founded in 1981 in Switzerland, Logitech specialises in computer accessories and software. It operates in more than 102 countries worldwide with approximately 7,300 employees.

Logitech’s strategy

In 2026, the company achieved a 49% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. By 2030, Logitech aims to achieve an 85% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from a 2019 base year.

It also has a target to cut Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030, against a 2021 baseline, achieving a 33% reduction by 2026.

Across the fiscal year, Logitech has avoided more than 200,000 tCO₂e across its products, supply chain and broader value chain. It has achieved this milestone through the use of low-carbon materials and renewable energy.

Hanneke Faber, CEO of Logitech, says: “For the past 20 years, Logitech has increasingly placed sustainability at the heart of our business. And today, that long-term commitment is yielding significant results.

“This progress is driven by Designing for Sustainability, which serves as both our core strategy and culture. For us, it means building sustainability into every aspect of our business: our values, governance, people, products, processes, manufacturing and supply chain.

“It means working to deeply understand our impact through lifecycle analyses that provide data and insights for both Logitech and our industry; and then applying these insights at scale to innovate and reduce the environmental impact of our product portfolio. We lead with transparency and accountability to build trust and drive meaningful progress.

“We believe Designing for Sustainability is as good for business as it is for the planet and people.”

Designing for circularity

Logitech’s Design for Sustainability strategy involves reducing its carbon impact and advancing circularity through attention to detail, innovation and craftsmanship.

As of 2026, 81% of all Logitech products used recycled plastic while 43% of the aluminium used in its products was low-carbon or recycled.

The company designs its products for repairability, refurbishment and recyclability, focusing on extending the longevity of the materials it uses.

It has seen more than 281,000 product units recycled in 2025-26.

Through reducing the weight of its packaging, Logitech has eliminated more than 520 tonnes of material across consumer and customer packaging.

It has also removed 580 tonnes of plastic by transitioning all mice packaging away from a plastic "clamshell" design.

Sènami Aklé, Head of Design for Sustainability at Logitech, says: “Business as usual will not be enough to get to the ambitious sustainability goals we have set for ourselves.

“We need to push the boundaries – in how we design and by exploring new technologies, manufacturing processes and materials.”

Supporting the next generation

Logitech has conducted research which found that 90% of women working in computer science in the US experienced isolation during their studies or career.

To help address this, Logitech partners with organisations globally that reach women at every stage of their career path.

This helps ensure that women have a community, a mentor or a network to support them in their computer science journey.

Elaine Laird, Chief People & Sustainability Officer at Logitech, says: “Through partnerships with organisations such as Girls Who Code, iWish, Aspire for Her and Switzerland’s federal technical school, EPFL, we’re actively challenging gender barriers in STEM and working toward equal representation in our industry.”

Since 2020, Logitech's support for Girls Who Code has involved a Summer Immersion Programme, volunteer-led workshops, resume review, speaker panels and networking sessions.

This programme has supported 8,228 students, focusing on helping women onto the pathways into the tech industry.
