Logitech launches supply chain decarbonization program for 17 suppliers

Logitech International launched a global decarbonization program called Chain Reaction on November 5, 2026. The initiative supports the computer peripherals company's target to halve its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

The program will launch with an initial cohort of 17 key manufacturing suppliers. It provides practical tools, technical evaluations, and collaborative procurement channels to help partners optimize operations and lead their own decarbonization roadmaps. Chain Reaction marks an expansion of Logitech's climate strategy, building on its progress in reducing Scope 3 emissions.

Logitech will integrate carbon transparency and decarbonization performance into regular business reviews and new business awards. The program focuses on four operational areas: Clean Energy, Energy Evaluations, Technical Support, and Recognition.

Technical Support and Renewable Energy Procurement

The program provides technical workshops, energy assessments, and collective renewable energy purchasing to reduce emissions and costs. Logitech will help suppliers simplify carbon accounting and reduce administrative overhead through technical workshops and co-developed reporting tools.

A key component is helping suppliers aggregate purchasing power for renewable energy procurement. This builds on the Logitech-Suppliers Renewable Electricity Buyers Club launched in 2020. In 2024, 64 suppliers purchased renewable energy through that club, addressing over 90,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Chain Reaction's four components are:

Supplier Engagement and Value Creation

The initiative enables suppliers to grow through reduced administrative burden and integrated climate progress tracking. Sree Chenincherry, Logitech’s chief supply chain operations officer, stated the program enables more value for suppliers to grow with Logitech.

Suppliers' decarbonization efforts will be included in their regular business reviews. The program aims to help suppliers unlock structural cost savings through decarbonization efficiencies. Chenincherry noted that lower energy use and cleaner power can create cost savings while strengthening the supply chain.

"By integrating carbon transparency and decarbonization progress into our commercial metrics, we are enabling more value for our suppliers to grow with Logitech," said Sree Chenincherry.

Supply Chain Context and Progress

Logitech's program builds on its 33% Scope 3 emissions reduction and aligns with global sustainability disclosure requirements. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Logitech reduced Scope 3 emissions by 33% from its 2021 baseline. This was verified by third-party auditors under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The GHG Protocol states that measuring Scope 3 emissions helps businesses identify reduction opportunities and manage climate risks. Scope 3 covers the wider value chain, unlike direct operational emissions. The OECD's 2025 Global Corporate Sustainability Report found that 76% of global market capitalization disclosed at least one Scope 3 category in 2024.

Logitech's broader sustainability efforts include using post-consumer recycled plastic in 81% of its products. The company removed 2,500 metric tons of packaging material from 2023 to 2025. It reported more than 200,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in avoided emissions during calendar year 2025.

Elaine Laird, Logitech's chief people and sustainability officer, emphasized that real value-chain decarbonization happens directly on the factory floor. The program will provide technical workshops, roundtables, and innovation sessions to support supplier decarbonization efforts.
