Logitech International SA provides a clear picture of its U-S climate-policy engagement. It names two identifiable policy initiatives—the company signed an “Open letter to President Biden” urging the administration to “set a federal climate target to reduce emissions,” and it took part in the “Lead on Climate 2022” campaign—showing openness about the specific measures it chose to influence. The disclosure also spells out how the company lobbied: it used an indirect channel by co-signing the coalition letter and a direct channel in which the CEO and the Head of Global Operations and Sustainability held meetings with individual members of Congress, thereby identifying both the mechanisms (letters, meetings) and the targets (President Biden and U.S. legislators). Finally, it is explicit about the outcomes it seeks, calling on government to “1) meet the urgency and scale of the climate crisis with ambitious federal investments to accelerate the transition to affordable, secure, domestic clean energy; 2) seize the economic opportunities to lead the world in clean energy manufacturing and deployment …; 3) tackle inequity by targeting climate and clean energy investments in disadvantaged, rural, and frontline energy communities.” Together, these elements demonstrate a strong level of transparency in Logitech’s climate-related lobbying activities.

Logitech demonstrates robust governance for its climate lobbying, with a designated leader: “Logitech's Head of Global Operations and Sustainability is responsible for driving the strategy and execution of Logitech's sustainability initiatives and advancing Logitech's sustainability commitments across its worldwide operations and products,” and retains “responsibility for ensuring our communication and engagement activities in relation to climate and carbon and any direct or indirect activities to influence policy are aligned with our overall climate change strategy.” The Sustainability team “works closely with Logitech's global communications team and CEO to ensure direct and indirect activities to influence policy are consistent with our values, the Logitech Code of Conduct, our Climate Pledge and our climate action strategy,” and asserts that “our position on climate and carbon-related issues are clearly defined in our Climate Pledge, which is signed off by Logitech's Head of Global Operations and Sustainability.” Engagement outcomes are captured in “a full and transparent report on engagement activities in the previous year in our annual Sustainability Report, which is reviewed and approved by our Leadership Team, Board of Directors and other relevant functions,” and the company further commits to “conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” We found no evidence of a standalone, third-party review or dedicated lobbying audit that explicitly assesses the alignment of climate-related lobbying beyond its integrated sustainability reporting.
