The LEGO Group expands sustainability efforts

The LEGO Group announced a DKK 19 million commitment towards four carbon removal projects in partnership with Climate Impact Partners and ClimeFi.

Carbon removal

The initiatives will support biochar, enhanced rock weathering and reforestation and will deliver carbon removal credits between 2024 and 2026. They will expand the company’s portfolio of carbon removal initiatives which includes a partnership with Climeworks direct air capture and storage solution. By building this portfolio, the LEGO Group is developing its understanding of emerging carbon removal and climate mitigation approaches beyond its value chain and how best to support them.

KIRKBI also committed

KIRKBI, the family-owned holding and investment company behind the LEGO brand, has also made commitments valued at DKK 5 million with the same initiatives.

Initiatives

Biochar carbon removal involves turning waste biomass into biochar, a process which stabilises carbon and stores it long-term. Enhanced rock weathering speeds up the natural process of rock weathering, by spreading rock powder over agricultural fields, permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere. Both solutions have additional benefits beyond carbon sequestration, notably for improving soil health.
