  • 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. “The approval of our science-based targets by SBTi highlights our alignment with customer priorities and our determination to lead in our industry in both technology innovation and sustainability, benefiting our customers and all stakeholders."
