Logitech has unveiled a new global programme aimed at cutting emissions across its supply chain by helping suppliers secure cleaner power, improve factory efficiency and build their own decarbonisation plans as the company pushes towards its 2030 climate targets.
The Swiss peripherals maker said Chain Reaction is designed to support manufacturing partners with practical tools rather than simply setting expectations from afar. The initiative will begin with 17 key suppliers and ...

centres on four areas: pooled procurement of renewable electricity, factory-level energy and greenhouse-gas reviews, technical workshops and reporting support, and commercial recognition for measurable progress on carbon reduction.
In announcing the programme, Logitech said the scheme is meant to give suppliers access to lower-cost clean energy and to reduce the burden of carbon accounting by providing shared methods and expert guidance. The company said the approach is intended to help suppliers identify energy waste, assess mechanical and thermal efficiencies, and translate those findings into roadmaps that can be used across their broader customer base.
Logitech chief people and sustainability officer Elaine Laird said the company believes meaningful supply-chain decarbonisation must happen “directly on the factory floor”, adding that suppliers are best placed to understand their own operations. She said Chain Reaction is intended to give them the technical evaluations and clean-energy options needed to shape their own transition plans.
Chief supply chain operations officer Sree Chenincherry said the programme would also tie carbon transparency to commercial decision-making, so that manufacturers making measurable progress gain greater visibility in business reviews and new award processes. He said efficiency and decarbonisation should be treated as complementary rather than competing objectives, arguing that lower energy use and cleaner power can strengthen suppliers financially as well as environmentally.
The launch builds on a stronger sustainability showing in Logitech’s latest reporting. In its fiscal year 2026 impact highlights report, the company said it had cut Scope 3 emissions by 33% versus its 2021 baseline. It also reported a 49% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, said 81% of products were manufactured with post-consumer recycled plastics, and noted that its collaboration with iFixit had expanded to cover 69 product lines with spare parts and repair guides. Logitech added that it had removed 2,500 tonnes of packaging material over the past three years.
The new programme is part of a broader effort to align supplier engagement with Logitech’s science-based target of halving Scope 3 greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030. By focusing on renewable energy aggregation and operational support, the company is betting that emissions cuts can be accelerated not just through corporate commitments, but through deeper collaboration inside the factories that make its products.
