BIODIVERSITY POLICY
1. Purpose
At Logitech, we recognize the critical interdependence between biodiversity, human development, and climate action. Biodiversity is a vital Earth system process essential to human well-being. With deforestation contributing approximately 10 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions1 urgent conservation efforts are required.
Our approach integrates biodiversity and climate impact management to enhance synergies and minimize trade-offs. We systematically assess the life-cycle impacts of our operations and value chain to identify opportunities that deliver co-benefits for climate, biodiversity, and communities affected by climate change.
Our commitment aligns with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and other relevant international standards.
This policy articulates Logitech's dedication to biodiversity conservation and responsible resource management, establishing clear expectations for our operations and supply chain,
with ongoing monitoring and transparent reporting.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all Logitech entities and facilities worldwide, including our production facility. We also engage with our business partners and suppliers, prioritizing Major Suppliers2
where we have the greatest leverage and potential for positive influence.
3. Our Dependency & Potential Impact on Biodiversity
The hardware manufacturing industry relies on natural resources and biodiversity through raw material extraction, water use, and energy consumption. Logitech acknowledges these dependencies and seeks to mitigate adverse effects through responsible sourcing and manufacturing practices.
Our operations carry a low to medium potential for biodiversity impacts, mainly related to land use change, resource depletion, and waste generation. We aim to reduce our footprint through sustainable design, circularity strategies, and pollution prevention.
