- 52% reduction per data capacity delivered in Scope 3 GHG
emissions (from use of sold cloud and networking products) within
the same timeframe.

targets for emissions covering purchased goods and services by
Fiscal 2028.

2028.
Long-Term Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets
The SBTi also approved Lumentum’s long-term targets under its
Corporate Net-Zero standard, as part of its commitment to reach
net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050,
including:
- Maintain a minimum 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG
emissions expected in Fiscal 2030 to continue through Fiscal 2050,
from a Fiscal 2022 baseline.
- 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by Fiscal 2050,
within the same timeframe.
