Illumina Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

Emissions Data:

In 2024, Illumina reported a total of approximately 278.8 million kg CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is comprised of approximately 18.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, and approximately 21.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (location-based). Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, totalling approximately 241.9 million kg CO2e. The primary contributors to Scope 3 emissions were upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 97.5 million kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 62.3 million kg CO2e).

For 2023, Illumina's total emissions were approximately 338.1 million kg CO2e. This breakdown included approximately 18.0 million kg CO2e in Scope 1, approximately 21.1 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 299.0 million kg CO2e in Scope 3.

In 2022, total emissions reached approximately 397.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 18.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 21.0 million kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 358.7 million kg CO2e.

Previous years' data shows:

• 2021: Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 26.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 323.7 million kg CO2e.
• 2020: Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 36.0 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 242.4 million kg CO2e.
• 2019: Total emissions were approximately 272.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 12.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 21.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 238.1 million kg CO2e.
• 2018: Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 43.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not reported for this year.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Illumina is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions across its direct operations and value chain by 2050, using 2019 as a baseline year.

Key climate commitments and reduction targets include:

• Near-Term Targets (by 2030):

  • A 46% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from 2019 levels.
  • A 46% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions across specified categories (purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, employee commuting, and investments) from 2019 levels.
  • Increasing annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030, from 0.6% in 2019.

• Long-Term Targets (by 2050):

  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from 2019 levels.
  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from 2019 levels.

Illumina's targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The company has reported a 100% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024 relative to the 2019 baseline, which includes mitigation efforts beyond SBTi targets, such as the application of carbon offsets for Scope 1 natural gas emissions. Scope 2 reductions are achieved through a combination of on-site solar power, purchased renewable electricity, and renewable electricity credits.
