The LEGO Group has unveiled a set of environmentally focused commitments, which include aiming for net zero emissions by 2050 and tripling investments in green initiatives to over $1.4 billion in the next three years. They will collaborate with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to establish emission reduction targets encompassing direct Scope 1 emissions, Scope 2 emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 emissions from their supply chain, with 98% of their emissions coming from the supply chain. This net zero objective builds upon their 2020 commitment, endorsed by SBTi, to reduce emissions by 37% by 2032.
The company’s environmental investment plan for the next three years will concentrate on creating carbon-neutral factories and structures, boosting renewable energy production, and procuring renewable energy for their facilities. They will also collaborate with suppliers through their “Engage-to-Reduce” program, established in 2014 to collectively reduce environmental impact in the supply chain.
LEGO Group plans to integrate Shadow Carbon Pricing into significant investments, introduce a carbon metric for executive compensation starting in 2024, and implement responsible travel policies to reduce employee travel, especially international air travel.
