Lego Australia Sustainability Actions

Raised sustainability investment

In 2025, the LEGO Group said it increased its investment in sustainability initiatives by 20% compared with 2024. It described this as part of a wider effort to lower the environmental impact of its business. The company linked this work to changes in materials, packaging, and circularity, which means keeping products and materials in use for longer instead of throwing them away.

Switched some packaging to paper

The LEGO Group said more than half of the packing lines that package LEGO bricks, 56%, had moved away from single-use plastic bags and now use paper-based alternatives. It described these paper bags as sustainably sourced and technically recyclable, meaning they can be processed again in the right recycling systems. This is a packaging change rather than a full removal of plastic across all products.

Published 2025 sustainability statement

The company said its full Sustainability Statement is included in its 2025 Annual Report. It also said it tracks progress across its environmental and social work. Publishing this kind of statement helps readers see what the company says it is doing, although the source material here does not include the full report itself.

Expanded carbon removal work

The LEGO Group said it expanded its portfolio of carbon removal solutions. Carbon removal means taking carbon dioxide out of the air or preventing it from staying in the atmosphere. The company said it is still assessing how high-quality carbon removal actions can support wider climate goals. This shows it is using more than one tool in its climate plan, but the material does not give full details of the projects.

Planned a solar park in Virginia

The company announced plans for an on-site solar park at its U.S. factory in Virginia. It said the project will increase the site’s renewable energy capacity and support its goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy for the factory’s annual needs. This is an operational change at one site, not a company-wide result yet.

Moved toward circular play

LEGO says its bricks are made to last and can be built and rebuilt many times. It also says it is working to make the business more circular, which means designing products and systems so materials stay in use for longer. This is part of how the company links product durability with sustainability.

Built a long-term donation network

Good360 Australia, which lists LEGO Australia as a partner, says it works with businesses to redirect new goods to charities and schools instead of sending them to waste. In its own materials, it says this helps reduce waste and support communities. The partnership is part of a wider reuse model, although the LEGO-specific role is not described in detail in the source material.

Supported local donation programs

Good360 Australia says it created the Local Store Donation Program in 2018 to connect unsold brand-new goods with local not-for-profits and disadvantaged schools. The program is described as a way to keep usable products in circulation and out of landfill. LEGO Australia is listed among Good360’s partners, but the source does not spell out the exact scope of LEGO’s involvement.

Backed disaster recovery supply

Good360 Australia says it launched a Disaster Recovery response after the 2019 Black Summer bushfires. The program aims to get needed goods to people affected by disasters. LEGO Australia is listed as a partner on Good360’s site, which suggests a connection to this wider social and waste-reduction work, but the source does not give LEGO-specific details.
