Lumen Technologies

Lumen Technologies reported total emissions of approximately 2.6 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 165 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 1.239 billion kg CO2e, and various Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 included purchased goods and services at 544.213 million kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities at 462.349 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 2.7 billion kg CO2e in 2023 and 2.1 billion kg CO2e in 2022.

Lumen Technologies has set several climate commitments. They aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 54.6% by 2033 from a 2022 base year, with their Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets being consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 32.5% within the same timeframe. These Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals for Lumen Technologies, Inc. reflect near-term objectives.

Earlier commitments include a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 18% and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 10% by 2025, from a 2018 baseline year. Lumen Technologies reported having reduced their Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 25% compared to their SBT of an 18% reduction by 2025, using a 2018 baseline. Lumen Technologies also tracks performance against their 2025 science-based targets and is committed to exploring ways to reduce GHG emissions through operational, customer, and employee initiatives.
