Near-Term Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets
The SBTi approved Lumentum's near-term, science-based emissions reduction targets that align with the initiative's criteria for limiting global warming to 1.5°C, including:
90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by Fiscal 2030, from a Fiscal 2022 baseline.
52% reduction per data capacity delivered in Scope 3 GHG emissions (from use of sold cloud and networking products) within the same timeframe.
30% of Lumentum suppliers to have their own science-based targets for emissions covering purchased goods and services by Fiscal 2028.
25% of Lumentum customers to have their own science-based targets for emissions covering use of sold products by Fiscal 2028.
Long-Term Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets
The SBTi also approved Lumentum's long-term targets under its Corporate Net-Zero standard, as part of its commitment to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050, including:
Maintain a minimum 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions expected in Fiscal 2030 to continue through Fiscal 2050, from a Fiscal 2022 baseline.
90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by Fiscal 2050, within the same timeframe.
'Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority for our customers, especially cloud operators and artificial intelligence infrastructure providers,' said Alan Lowe, president and CEO of Lumentum.
