Lumentum commits to a lighter footprint and
achieves LEED Silver certification for its San Jose headquarters
SAN
JOSE, Calif., April 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum Holdings Inc.
("Lumentum"), a market-leading designer and manufacturer of
innovative optical and photonic products, announced today that it
has achieved LEED® (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Silver certification for its headquarters
building in San Jose,
California.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is
the most widely used rating system and a recognized international
symbol of sustainability achievement. Compared to traditional
construction, LEED-certified buildings, through design,
construction, and operation practices that improve environmental
and human health, have 34 percent lower CO2 emissions, consume 25
percent less energy and 11 percent less water, and have diverted
more than 80 million tons of waste from landfills.
"Achieving LEED certification is more than just implementing
sustainable practices. It represents a commitment to making the
world a better place and influencing others to do better," said
Peter Templeton, President and CEO,
USGBC. "Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection
and the central role buildings play in that effort, Lumentum is
creating a path forward through their LEED certification."
"Our vision at Lumentum is to create a brighter future for
everyone, and sustainability is key to realizing it," said
Mehdi Golshan, Lumentum Senior
Director of Workplace Services. "In 2021, we announced 100 percent
renewable electricity at our headquarters, and LEED certification
is another step forward in the company's commitment to achieving
net-zero carbon emissions by 2030."
Lumentum achieved LEED certification for implementing measurable
strategies to ensure its building is operating at a high level of
sustainability. The company applied practical solutions to several
areas in the building, including implementing energy-efficient
systems, reducing environmental impact through the adoption of
green cleaning and pest management, installing efficient water
management devices, and improving the indoor air quality by
installing enhanced filtration systems.
