LEGO Group Invests in Nature and Technology-Based Carbon Removal Projects
The LEGO Group is committing an additional DKK 18 million (≈US$18 million) to four carbon‑removal projects, expanding its portfolio of nature‑based and technology‑based solutions. The investments include restoring over 14,000 hectares of degraded tropical forest in Mexico and three tech projects—biomass geological storage, mineralization into building materials, and marine CO₂ removal via wastewater alkalinity. These moves build on existing collaborations with Climate Impact Partners and ClimeFi and align with LEGO’s 2050 net‑zero target and its $1.4 billion sustainability spend. The company says the programme will deepen its understanding of diverse removal pathways and guide future climate strategy.
