Our sustainability strategy covers the impact areas: children, environment and people.

All our sustainability reports
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.
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.
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.
We’re being recognized
We’re grateful to have been recognized at both the regional and global level for our efforts in sustainability and fostering a culture of inclusion. A couple of highlights from the first half of 2023 include being recognized as:
