With a 61% increase in solar energy capacity worldwide in the last two years, LEGO is moving forward with its commitment to sustainability and its goal of building a better world.
Expanding Solar Initiatives
Since 2022, LEGO has added solar panels at six factories, reducing the use of non-renewable energy and supporting cleaner energy. They plan to increase their solar capacity by 72% by 2025, adding 37.97 MWp of solar energy.
Future Projects and Goals
A big project is in progress for an 80 MWp solar park near LEGO’s headquarters in Billund, Denmark, set to be ready by 2028. This park will help meet energy needs and provide sustainable energy to all LEGO locations.
LEGO has also set goals for sustainability, like reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 37% by 2032 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Achieving these goals will take ongoing innovation, teamwork, and a good understanding of their entire value chain.
New Developments in Vietnam
The new LEGO factory in Vietnam will have over 12,400 rooftop solar panels, providing 7.34 MWp of solar energy and looking into new technologies like battery storage.
Conclusion
LEGO is dedicated to a sustainable future, focusing on renewable energy and working with suppliers and stakeholders. They are investing in solar energy and other sustainability efforts, hoping to create a brighter, greener world for children to enjoy.
