NeoPhotonics Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Lumentum Holdings Inc.

NeoPhotonics Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Lumentum Holdings Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As part of its corporate family, NeoPhotonics is aligned with the climate initiatives of Lumentum Holdings Inc. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for NeoPhotonics itself. The absence of data suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own emissions reporting framework or climate strategy. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like NeoPhotonics to develop robust climate commitments, especially as stakeholders increasingly demand transparency and accountability regarding carbon emissions. The lack of reported emissions data and specific reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for NeoPhotonics to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards.
