Lumentum recognizes the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its heart.  

We believe these goals will lead our world to the brighter future we envision. We have aligned our reporting with seven of the 17 Goals which we can meaningfully contribute to and that are relevant to our business. See our Corporate Sustainability Report’s SDG Index for more information.  

Sustainability Governance

Lumentum’s Board of Directors provides oversight of our sustainability strategy, including the management of environmental and social impacts. The Governance Committee of the Board reviews policies and programs that support this strategy, informed by quarterly updates from our Senior Director of Sustainability on progress, challenges, and key initiatives. 

Our Sustainability Team leads day-to-day implementation and collaborates across key functions—including Environment, Health and Safety; Human Resources; Legal; Operations; Quality; Supply Chain; and Business Platforms—to identify material topics, monitor progress, and advance companywide initiatives. This cross-functional approach ensures sustainability is integrated into business planning, risk management, and operations across the organization.

Value Chain and Boundaries

We maintain direct control of our manufacturing operations and the global support services that are essential for our business to thrive.

Outside of our direct control, we maintain strong relationships with our suppliers, contract manufacturers, and customers. We work closely with suppliers and contract manufacturers to procure materials and products to specifications. Vendor relationships are critical to ensure product quality and promote ethical and responsible sourcing throughout our supply chain. Our products are integrated into larger systems by our customers and delivered to end users, where we aim to influence responsible use and treatment.
