Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:
Lumentum has established several significant climate commitments and reduction targets:
- Net-Zero Operations: The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its global operations by 2030, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
- Absolute Emissions Reduction: Lumentum aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by Fiscal Year 2030, using a Fiscal Year 2022 baseline. Furthermore, they commit to maintaining at least a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions from FY2030 through FY2050.
- Scope 3 Reduction: Lumentum is targeting a 52% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions per data capacity delivered (Gbps) of sold cloud and networking products by Fiscal Year 2030, from a Fiscal Year 2022 baseline. This specifically targets emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities and the use of sold products. A long-term commitment also exists to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050, from a FY2022 baseline.
- Supplier and Customer Engagement: The company aims to have 30% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, adopt science-based targets by FY2028. Additionally, Lumentum aims for 25% of its customers, by emissions covering the use of sold products, to have their own science-based targets by FY2028.
- Intensity Reduction: Lumentum previously committed to reducing GHG intensity by 25% by FY24 from an FY21 baseline for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
These commitments have been approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demonstrating alignment with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
