The Lego Group will tie part of its salaried employees’ bonuses to its annual carbon footprint beginning this year, the company announced Wednesday. While the performance metric is primarily based on direct emissions — scope 1 and 2 — the company said it aims to “expand” it over time to include scope 3 as well.
The Danish toy maker also unveiled a new key performance indicator to measure emissions generated from its direct operations and business travel — a scope 3 category — and compare it to the amount of toy bricks manufactured in the same period. Lego said the comparison allows it to attain a measurable “carbon intensity metric” that can be tracked over time.
Lego said it established these performance metrics to motivate employees “to help make a positive impact” as the company aims to reduce emissions across its factories, stores and offices.
