\u2022 LEGO will integrate GHG emissions data into its annual sustainability report beginning March 2026.
\u2022 The company is introducing a revised, more granular methodology covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
\u2022 Historical emissions from 2019 and 2023 will be recalculated to align with the new framework.<\/p>\n
Strengthening Transparency in Carbon Accounting<\/p>\n
The LEGO Group is advancing its climate accountability framework with a shift to more comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, expanding the scope and precision of its emissions disclosures across all business operations and supply chains.<\/p>\n
Starting in 2026, LEGO\u2019s GHG data for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 will be integrated into its annual sustainability report, released each March. The company\u2019s 2023 and 2019 baseline figures will also be recalculated to align with the updated methodology, providing a consistent foundation for tracking long-term decarbonization progress.<\/p>\n
This move situates LEGO among a growing cohort of multinational manufacturers adopting science-based and verifiable emissions accounting, driven by investor scrutiny and emerging regulatory mandates such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework.<\/p>\n
Expanding the Scope of Measurement<\/p>\n
LEGO\u2019s revised methodology will encompass emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3\u2014covering direct operations, purchased energy, and the full lifecycle of its products from raw materials to consumer use and end-of-life.<\/p>\n
The company said the upgraded approach will \u201cexpand the footprint scope and increase visibility across emission drivers,\u201d providing deeper insight into its carbon-intensive processes, from plastics production and logistics to supplier networks.<\/p>\n
Greater accuracy in data collection is expected to support more targeted emission reduction strategies, helping LEGO assess the efficacy of its sustainability investments and supply chain interventions.<\/p>\n
Aligning Corporate Governance with Climate Accountability<\/p>\n
Integrating emissions reporting into the sustainability statement represents a structural change in how the LEGO Group embeds climate data into corporate governance. It brings climate-related disclosures to parity with financial reporting cycles\u2014an increasingly expected practice among institutional investors and regulators demanding greater comparability and transparency.<\/p>\n
By restating historical data, LEGO aims to create an unbroken record of emissions trends that aligns with science-based targets and external validation frameworks. Such recalibration can also strengthen confidence among ESG-focused investors and partners monitoring progress toward LEGO\u2019s long-term climate objectives.<\/p>\n
