Over the past few years, the company has shown fluctuations in its emissions. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 15,370,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,814,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 13,872,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, emissions were about 15,263,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 590,700 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 14,667,000 kg CO2e. The data for 2020 indicates Scope 2 emissions of approximately 13,260,000 kg CO2e, with no reported Scope 1 emissions. Despite these figures, Kulicke and Soffa Industries has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of a climate pledge or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
