Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, Tap IP, Tap Scheduler and Scribe are being refreshed with materials that lower the carbon impact of each product. This provides organisations with a partner that helps them to better manage their carbon footprint.
“By transitioning our portfolio of conference room devices to a lower product carbon footprint, we are helping other companies navigate their sustainability challenges,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, chief operating officer at Logitech. “We’re not only designing and manufacturing new products with recycled plastic and other lower carbon materials, but refreshing existing products to provide IT leaders with a new way to evaluate their workplace technology investment in conference room systems - one that includes people and planet. We do this without increasing prices or compromising the highest quality and performance companies expect from Logitech.”
Applying Design for Sustainability principles to Logitech’s video collaboration portfolio enables Logitech’s customers to outfit entire conference rooms – including Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms – with technology designed with sustainability in mind. This development expands on the progress already achieved with personal workstation peripherals such as webcams, headsets, mice and keyboards.
Logitech’s newer conference room products such as Logitech Sight use a minimum of 50 per cent certified recycled plastic and ensure a 21 per cent reduction in the carbon footprint, with 1,400tCO2e avoided carbon per 100,000 units.
Additionally, Logitech video conferencing products use low carbon aluminium made with renewable energy rather than fossil fuels, and packaging from FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources, while the Rally Bar uses 100 per cent recycled fabrics. There is also an option to collect and recycle old video conferencing equipment via Logitech Select. Additionally, their power saving modes can potentially reduce Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini’s carbon impact by 1.65 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
Logitech decreased its Scope 3 emissions by 21 per cent in 2022, with the goal of removing more carbon than it creates by 2030.
Logitech is on track to achieve its 2025 target of having a carbon footprint details for every product in its portfolio, making it easier for buyers to make informed decisions about – and report on – the scope of their impact when outfitting their global workforces for meeting rooms, personal workstations and flex desking.
