Backs UNGC’s Forward Faster initiative and
joins World Economic Forum’s First Mover Coalition
Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) announced it
has redoubled its efforts on climate action and equality by
aligning its actions to two ambitious private sector initiatives to
achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Logitech recently participated in a Private Sector Forum, hosted
by the United Nations Secretary-General, and committed to ‘Forward
Faster’, a UN Global Compact initiative calling on business leaders
to accelerate actions in areas that have the potential to create
the fastest impact before 2030. Logitech also recently joined the
First Movers Coalition (FMC), a partnership between the World
Economic Forum (WEF) and the US Department of State, committing to
low-carbon technologies in the harder-to-abate shipping and
aluminum sectors.
“I was honored to participate in the UN Private Sector Forum
during NYC Climate Week. The UN General Assembly’s Forward Faster
initiative, aimed at accelerating the delivery of the SDGs by the
private sector, underscores how we all need to act faster and raise
our level of ambition to create tangible, accountable actions,”
said Prakash Arunkundrum, chief operating officer at Logitech. “We
need progress not just pledges. The private sector has an
incredible opportunity to drive change by creating the demand for
emerging solutions that get us back on track to achieve the UN SDG
goals.”
Logitech joined the First Movers Coalition to signal the demand
for emerging technologies that are essential for a net zero
transition. Prioritizing top materials and metals (aluminum) in
products as part of its Design for Sustainability approach has the
potential to create the biggest impact in both reducing carbon
emissions and enhancing circularity. In 2022, nearly 2 in 3
Logitech products were made with recycled plastic, and over 40
product lines used low-carbon aluminum. By joining the First Movers
Coalition, Logitech becomes part of a wider ecosystem that aims to
advance low-carbon technologies that are crucial to reducing global
emissions quickly.
Partnerships and the sharing of diverse knowledge remain key to
solving collective challenges. Logitech is working more closely
with suppliers and stakeholders and renewing commitments at an
accelerated pace. Learn more about Logitech’s sustainability
