Finisar Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Coherent Corp.

Finisar Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Coherent Corp., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Finisar has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specific commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the context of its parent company, Coherent Corp., it is important to note that any climate-related initiatives or emissions data may be inherited from this corporate relationship. However, without specific data from Coherent Corp. or other sources, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of Finisar's carbon footprint or climate commitments. In summary, while Finisar Corporation is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate initiatives, it currently lacks publicly available emissions data and defined reduction targets.
