Playing our part for a brighter future
At KIRKBI, everything we do is guided by our purpose: building a better future for children. We believe that children deserve better – better opportunities to reach their full potential and a brighter future for the planet we all share.
Four promises set our course
Our approach to sustainability is shaped by four long-standing promises that we share with all KIRKBI entities. These promises guide our choices and help us stay committed to what’s right for the long term.
Committed to children
We strive to be a role model in both our ownership and the way we run our own operations. Each of KIRKBI’s business areas is dedicated to playing its part in building a better future for children.

Working to reduce our emissions
We are working to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are taking steps to reduce emissions across our own operations, holdings, and investments. Our carbon emission reduction goals have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a collaboration between the United Nations Global Compact, CDP, WRI and WWF.
Setting targets and tracking progress
In 2024, we achieved all three of our Science Based Targets set for 2032.
Reduce scope 1 and 2 by 55%
Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 55 % by 2032 from a 2019 base year.
Reduce scope 3 by 55%
Reduce absolute scope 3 emissions, excl. cat 15 by 55 % by 2032 from a 2019 base year.
45% of portfolio SBTi-aligned
Ensure that 45 % of KIRKBI Scope 3 emissions from equities, bonds, private equity and debt portfolios come from companies setting SBTi validated targets by 2025.
We can all do our part
As part of our annual performance management programme, we set a yearly emission target. As one way of encouraging our colleagues to play their part in reaching our goals, our bonuses are linked to KIRKBI’s annual emissions.

Inspired by our most important stakeholders
All KIRKBI employees can take up to two working days every year to volunteer in the local community as part of the LEGO Group’s Local Community Engagement programme. This initiative allows us to connect with our key stakeholders – children – while experiencing the LEGO® brand through play and interaction.

A more diverse, equal and inclusive workplace
We are committed to building an inclusive, equal, and diverse workplace. We promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our everyday practice and through our active ownership and partnerships. We allocate resources to build a workplace that offers fair treatment and equal opportunities for all.
Mindsets and behaviours
We have reviewed our recruitment process and introduced Conscious Inclusion training to foster more inclusive mindsets and behaviours. We are continuously improving our people processes to ensure they are fair and equitable for all.
Employee advocacy
Colleague involvement is key to building a culture of learning. They play a vital role in identifying needs and opportunities. This is why we have an Employee Advocacy Group to help us explore, learn, and adjust our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
