The LEGO Group has expanded its carbon removal portfolio with an additional DKK 18 million ($2.85 million) investment across four projects, bringing its total commitment to DKK 54 million ($8.4 million). The projects are being delivered in partnership with Climate Impact Partners and ClimeFi.
Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer at the LEGO Group, said: “This purchase highlights our commitment to testing a broad range of credible pathways for nature and tech-based carbon removal. As the programme expands, it is helping to strengthen our understanding of different approaches and inform future decision-making on how carbon removal may complement our wider climate goals. While reducing emissions in our own operations remains our priority, this programme allows us to work with expert partners and contribute to solutions that may help scale effective climate action over time.”
The nature-based component includes continued support for the Quintana Roo Restoration project in Mexico, delivered with Climate Impact Partners and developed by Canopia Carbon. The initiative restores more than 14,000 hectares of degraded tropical forest through tree planting, species recovery, fire prevention and long-term monitoring. Over 20% of the project budget is allocated to local employment and income generation.
Sheri Hickok, CEO at Climate Impact Partners, said: “We are proud to continue our partnership with the LEGO Group, delivering high quality carbon projects that drive meaningful outcomes for climate, biodiversity and communities. The LEGO Group’s approach highlights how companies can partner with experts to build robust, credible climate strategies that translate ambition into action.”
The company is also expanding its technology-based portfolio with ClimeFi through three new projects covering biomass geological storage, mineralisation and marine carbon dioxide removal.
Paolo Piffaretti, CEO and Co-Founder at ClimeFi, said: “We are pleased to grow our partnership with the LEGO Group through these latest carbon removal initiatives. By working together, we are supporting the commitments required to scale the industry and accelerate real climate progress.”
The LEGO Group said emissions reductions within its own operations remain its priority, with carbon removal intended to complement its broader climate strategy.
