Planet: Lighter Impact - Commitment to Science-Based Target: Lumentum has committed to set ambitious near-term and long-term emission-reduction targets in line with climate science with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which will contribute to limiting global warming. The company has set an aggressive target to achieve net-zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.
People: Positive Impact - Fostering Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB): Lumentum is committed to fostering diverse and inclusive workplaces that value differences and inspire creativity. As part of this commitment, Lumentum has established scholarships for students from diverse and underrepresented groups in the high-tech sector and endowments at universities.

Innovation: Breakthrough Impact - Lumentum owns nearly 1,000 U.S. patents and 800 foreign patents with expiration dates through 2042, with approximately 200 of its 600 patent applications filed in fiscal 2022.
