Viavi Solutions Achieves Lower Emissions

Viavi Solutions Inc. announced its Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 CO2 emissions are 42% lower than they were in 2015. 

Carbon emissions intensity decreased between 2017 and 2021 on both a headcount Full Time Equivalent (FTE) and a revenue basis for the provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions for communications service providers, enterprises, network equipment manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, government and avionics.

VIAVI is engaged in a number of sustainability projects across its global sites, including the use of reclaimed water for an evaporative cooling system at VIAVI's new global headquarters in Chandler, Arizona and transitioning its Suzhou, China site to 100% renewable electricity within the next two years, which VIAVI expects will result in a reduction in annual Scope 2 CO2 emissions by over 3,000 metric tons.
