In 2003,
we became the
first toy company
to join the
United Nations
Global Compact
In 2017, we became
100% balanced
by renewable energy
In December
2020, we became
the first large toy
company
to announce a
science-based
target for CO2
reduction

In 2020, we
reached five years

Climate Action Targets
ZERO
2022
CO2 Neutral in operations
2025
Zero waste to landfill in operations
20% reduction in CO2 in supply chain
2032
37% reduction in CO2
across operations and supply chain
Consumers focus on reducing waste
rather than technicalities of materials
Legislators and companies are increasingly focusing on advocating and
adopting a more circular approach

Non-negotiable characteristics
Sustainable materials cannot compromise
• Safety
• Consumer-perceived quality
• Durability of elements
Sustainable chemistry
• The material does not pose a risk to humans
or the environment across the entire value
chain
Sustainably sourced and manufactured
feedstock
• The feedstock is derived from sustainably
sourced renewable material, recycled
material or carbon capture technologies
• The processing of the material has a
sustainable manufacturing footprint
Minimum waste in the value chain
• Elements and their materials
should be recyclable
• Packaging should be
recyclable
Each iteration of sustainable materials
should reduce our environmental
footprint versus its predecessor
What do we define as a sustainable material?
LEGO® Elements in Bio-PE
First plant-based LEGO elements
were launched in 2018
Since then, we
have increased our
number of Bio-PE
solutions with +100
active elements such as
botanical elements +
minifigure accessories
Made from plant-based
polyethylene sourced from sugar cane,
i.e. Braskem’s I’m Green PE.

Geometry
What is the material and
element durability over
several years?
Does the element keep the
geometry over time in different
use and storage scenarios?
Can all LEGO colors be
developed?
Does the element develop
smell issues over time?
Can we control the element and
shrinkage during production?
What is the level of scratches
following transportation, play
scenarios and storage?
Can the material and elements retain
the required gloss level in different
use scenarios?
Are the material impact properties
passing mechanical product safety test
in a broad range of elements?
Can we develop and obtain the right
level of clutch power and element
function?
