Looking ahead, the LEGO Group and Nike have signed a multi-year partnership celebrating play and sport. The collaboration will officially launch next year, launching a series of co-branded products to encourage children to play actively and creatively.
At the LEGO Group, we believe in the power of play to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. By combining the creativity of LEGO play with the energy and enthusiasm of movement, we hope to inspire new ways for children to play and be creative. We’re excited to partner with Nike on this journey and help reimagine how creative play and sport can be combined. Together we will create unique experiences that engage and inspire children around the world, inspiring them to explore their imaginations.
The LEGO Group has also launched the “Made to be Played” campaign to encourage families to pass down LEGO bricks from generation to generation.
Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer of the LEGO Group, said: “LEGO bricks are designed to be used over and over again, and we hope fans will keep playing with LEGO bricks by passing them on when they are no longer in use.” The lasting value of LEGO is intrinsically linked to our commitment to sustainability. By designing bricks that can be passed down for generations, we aim to inspire endless creativity and prevent LEGO bricks from becoming waste. We will also continue to explore more ways to reuse LEGO bricks through our recycling programme.
The campaign coincides with the LEGO Group’s efforts to increase the amount of sustainable raw materials used in its bricks. LEGO also continues to expand its LEGO replay recycling program, with an expansion in the UK and trade-in pilots in the US and Germany.
