Goals / Remit
The LEGO Group is a Danish family owned company with production in Europe. As a company whose mission is to ‘inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow’, children are our role models. We want to leave children a better planet than the one we inherited. In 2003, the LEGO Group became the first toy company to join the United Nations Global Compact. We remain committed to upholding its 10 principles and promote a cleaner, safer, inclusive and more sustainable planet as well as promoting learning through play. Our operations seek to have a positive impact on children, the environment and people – both directly and indirectly. We are balancing our carbon emissions through investments in renewable energy and are transitioning towards more sustainable packaging (2025) and products (2030). Social impacts include ensuring children’s safety in both physical and digital play, promoting labor and human rights in the supply chain, and securing the health and safety of employees.
