2024 Sustainability Statement

At the LEGO Group, we put children at the heart of everything we do and we want to play our part in creating a better and more sustainable world for them to inherit.

Our fundamental belief is that play helps children to learn. Our ambition is to reach as many children as possible with LEGO® play, while limiting the effect our operations have on the environment.

The UN SDGs

We are committed to making a positive impact for children, and therefore we are particularly inspired by SDG 4, ‘Quality Education’ and SDG 12, ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’. This is where we see our contribution making the greatest impact on the lives of children and the planet.

  • Sustainable Development Goal 4

    Inclusive and equitable quality education

    We advocate for the transformative power of play to be adopted in education and early childhood development around the world. The LEGO Foundation has a 25 percent ownership in the LEGO Group, which means that 25 percent of the LEGO Group’s profit is contributing to help children have access to Learning through Play.

  • Sustainable Development Goal 12

    Responsible consumption and production

    We believe we have a responsibility to continue to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. We have an ambition to make our core products from more sustainable materials and remove all single-use plastic from our packaging, and to reduce the carbon footprint of bringing a LEGO® product to market and limit our use of resources.
