This total comprises: * **Scope 1 Emissions:** Approximately **18,836,000 kg CO2e**. * **Scope 2 Emissions:** Approximately **21,224,000 kg CO2e** (location-based). * **Scope 3 Emissions:** Approximately **241,938,000 kg CO2e**, with purchased goods and services (62,264,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (97,472,000 kg CO2e) being the most significant contributors. In the previous year, **2023**, Illumina's total emissions were approximately **337,155,000 kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at 17,993,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 21,137,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 299,025,000 kg CO2e. ### Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets Illumina has established a comprehensive set of climate goals, aligning with a 1.5°C pathway. Key commitments include: * **Net-Zero by 2050:** The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2) and its entire value chain (Scope 3) by **2050**, using a **2019** baseline. * **Near-Term Reductions (by 2030):** Illumina is working towards a **46% reduction** in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by **2030** from the 2019 baseline. This includes a commitment to increase the annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 0.6% in 2019 to 100% by 2030. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from key categories by 46% by 2030 from the 2019 baseline. * **Long-Term Reductions (by 2050):** The company has a long-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by **90%** by 2050 from the 2019 baseline. Similarly, Scope 3 emissions from key categories are targeted for a 90% reduction by 2050. Illumina's reporting indicates that its targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
