Consumer electronics brand Belkin announced the company reached carbon neutrality in its Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
The company plans to achieve carbon neutrality in all scopes by 2030 and in line with its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
As published in its 2024 Impact Report, during the past 12 months, Belkin achieved a reduction of 1,890 metric tons of CO2e on the product level.
Over the past two years and since introducing its transition to using 72-75% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials in its products, Belkin has transitioned over 359 products and replaced 432 metric tons of virgin plastics with PCR materials.
In 2025, several of Belkin’s most popular chargers and cables will receive updated product housing materials that consist of 85-90% PCR and will be certified by the Global Recycling Standard. They will also be sold in plastic-free packaging. This initiative is estimated to reduce CO2-eq emissions for these product housing materials by up to 85%.
“Belkin recently surpassed a monumental milestone: over 1 billion products sold globally. As we reflect on this achievement, we recognize that with scale comes a profound responsibility — to our customers, to the planet, and to future generations,” said Steven Malony, CEO of Belkin, in a statement. “As we reflect on our 2024 Impact Report, we recognize the progress we’ve made and the work still ahead. We are actively transitioning to post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials across our product lines, using 100% plastic-free packaging, and investing in long-term sustainability strategies to achieve our larger goals of carbon neutrality across our entire business by 2030. Our mission goes beyond creating accessories that empower people to get more life out of every single day — it’s about driving positive change for the planet and its people.”
