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.
