"We are once again honored to be included on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Europe," said Bracken Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer. "Our expanded commitment and approach to measuring impact and progress against our goals is a direct reflection of the hard work that our teams contribute, along with our partners, throughout the year. Our purpose is to help all people pursue their passions in a way that is good for people and the planet and our values of equality and environment continue to shine as a critical component of the Logitech identity."
Logitech scored 63 out of 100 in the 2022 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (Score date: Dec. 9, 2022), compared to 60 out of 100 last year.
