In CY2016, we had four master brands: Logitech, Logitech G, Ultimate Ears and Jaybird. On April 20, 2016, we acquired Jaybird, a leader in wireless audio wearables for sports and active lifestyles. On September 15 2016, we acquired Saitek to enhance the breadth and depth of our product offerings and expand our engineering capabilities in simulation products.
Our registered office and holding company (Logitech International S.A.) is in Switzerland. Logitech Inc. is our principal wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States. Our network of offices worldwide employs includes 13 Principal Offices and a number of smaller
(sales-focused) offices.
We have one high-volume manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China where we employ more than 3500 staff. On-site activities primarily comprise final assembly and testing. Components are manufactured to our specification by third-party suppliers in Asia, the United
States and Europe. Approximately half of our annual revenue is generated from products manufactured at our own facility, with components from component suppliers. The other half of our annual revenue (approx) is generated from products manufactured by contract manufacturers. Our local and international teams maintain oversight of all inhouse and supplier production activities, quality process controls and sustainability performance, including energy and greenhouse gas performance.
Our Energy and GHG inventory includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our manufacturing facility. Scope 1 emissions arise due to fuel and refrigerants. Scope 2 emissions arise from electricity. Scope 3 emissions including emissions from our suppliers and supply chain are not currently reported externally. We are working to expand our Energy and GHG inventory to include Scope 3 emissions.
We focus on reducing our impact in our own manufacturing facility and across our value chain, taking action against climate change and driving sustainability across the business.
As per previous years, we continue to report by calendar year. This submission reports data from CY2016 and describes our approach, strategy, organisational structure and performance during that period.
