Lumentum (LITE) has received approval from the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The company aims for near-term goals by 2030 including a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 52% reduction per data capacity in Scope 3 emissions from cloud and networking products, compared to FY2022 baseline.

The plan also requires 30% of suppliers and 25% of customers to have their own science-based emissions targets by FY2028. For long-term goals by 2050, Lumentum commits to maintaining the 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and achieving a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions. These targets align with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and meet the priorities of key customers, particularly cloud and AI infrastructure providers.

Lumentum (LITE) ha ricevuto l'approvazione dall'iniziativa Science-Based Targets (SBTi) per i suoi obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra. L'azienda punta a obiettivi a breve termine entro il 2030, inclusa una riduzione del 90% delle emissioni di Scope 1 e 2 e una riduzione del 52% per capacità dati nelle emissioni di Scope 3 dei prodotti cloud e di rete, rispetto alla base di riferimento dell'anno fiscale 2022.

Il piano richiede anche che il 30% dei fornitori e il 25% dei clienti abbiano obiettivi di emissioni basati sulla scienza entro l'anno fiscale 2028. Per obiettivi a lungo termine entro il 2050, Lumentum si impegna a mantenere la riduzione del 90% delle emissioni di Scope 1 e 2 e a raggiungere una riduzione del 90% delle emissioni assolute di Scope 3. Questi obiettivi sono in linea con la limitazione del riscaldamento globale a 1,5°C e soddisfano le priorità dei clienti chiave, in particolare dei fornitori di infrastrutture cloud e AI.
