The challenges of achieving Global Sustainability in a multinational, Robert O'Mahony, Logitech

Robert currently leads Logitech’s Global Sustainability function, with responsibility for driving Logitech’s “Pervasive Sustainability” commitment to deliver on the company's ambition to help Sustainability become “..a mindful principal infused into everything we do at Logitech”. Over the past decade Robert has overseen this transformation by building and fostering a team with capability, drive and ambition and who are delivering on this broader vision. Robert advocates for a science based approach to transformation and sees Logitech committed to climate action efforts focused on 3R’s - Reduce, Renew and Restore.  Reduce our carbon footprint by utilising Design for Sustainability (DfS) and Circular Economy solutions in support of the 1.5OC Paris Agreement; Renew our footprint by shifting to 100% renewable electricity throughout our supply chain; and what we are not able to reduce or renew Logitech will Restore through investments in net zero nature based solutions while supporting climate-impacted biodiversity and communities.

Externally, this approach is resonating with industry and partners. The UN- sponsored World Benchmark Alliance has included Logitech in the SDG2000, a list of companies with the greatest potential to influence a more sustainable future. In 2019 and again in 2020, Logitech  won the World Finance Magazine Sustainability Award for our sector. Logitech is  listed as a Leader in the technology sector for ESG performance by Sustainalytics and maintains inclusion on the DJSI Europe, the FTSE4GOOD Index and Swiss SIX Sustainability Index as one of the "top 25 most sustainable Swiss companies.”
