Logitech International is stepping up its efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of its supply chain with the launch of Chain Reaction, a global program designed to help suppliers reduce their carbon emissions while improving the efficiency of their manufacturing operations.

The initiative builds on the computer peripherals maker’s existing engagement with suppliers for tailored decarbonization roadmaps. This is part of Logitech’s larger commitment to reduce its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. These emissions include all supply chain activities and the entire product life cycle that are not directly controlled by a company.

The programme will begin with 17 suppliers who will combine their purchasing power to collectively purchase renewable electricity. Participating companies should improve their access to renewable energy by joining their demand.

Beyond sourcing electricity, Logitech will assist suppliers in evaluating their factories to find opportunities to improve energy, thermal and mechanical efficiency. The assessments are designed to support participants in setting targets to reduce emissions and creating practical roadmaps tailored to their operations.

Technical support for easier carbon reporting

Chain Reaction will also tackle the administrative difficulties of measuring and reporting emissions. Logitech will work with suppliers to host technical workshops and develop reporting tools that will make carbon accounting processes more efficient and reduce administrative burden.

“Environmental performance will be part of the regular business review between suppliers and Logitech, and therefore closer to the company’s commercial relationship with its partners,” he said. “Progress on decarbonization will be part of that.”

“We are creating more value for our suppliers to grow with Logitech by putting carbon transparency and decarbonization progress into our commercial metrics,” said Sree Chenincherry, chief supply chain operations officer at Logitech.

Chenincherry also pointed to the operational gains expected from the programme. When considering the transition to lower carbon operations, improving industrial efficiency should enable suppliers to realize structural cost savings, thereby delivering economic benefits alongside environmental improvements.

Assuming a 33% reduction Scope 3 emissions

Chain Reaction’s launch comes on the back of progress made by Logitech in reducing emissions across its value chain. The company said it cut greenhouse gas emissions linked to suppliers, product use and product disposal by 33% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from its 2021 baseline.

Logitech's new programme aims to further this progress by more directly involving suppliers in its climate strategy. The initiative combines collective renewable electricity purchasing, factory efficiency assessments and improved carbon reporting, to help the company achieve its longer-term goal to halve its Scope 3 emissions by 2030.
