In 2022, Cognex reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,060,000 kg CO2e, comprising 297,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2,763,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a slight increase from 2021, where total emissions were about 2,973,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 293,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 2,680,000 kg CO2e.

Cognex has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and commitment. The company’s emissions intensity, measured as carbon emissions per million dollars of revenue, has shown fluctuations, with a reported carbon intensity of approximately 0.00304 metric tons CO2e per million dollars in 2022. Cognex's climate commitments and strategies remain vague, with no specific pledges or targets outlined in the available data. As the company continues to operate in a climate-conscious industry, further transparency regarding its emissions reduction strategies would be beneficial.
