For instance, in 2022, the company emitted about 15,056,000 kg CO2e, with 1,814,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 13,872,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This indicates a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 2019, where they were reported at 15,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Kulicke and Soffa has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for future reductions. Overall, Kulicke and Soffa Industries is making strides in managing its carbon emissions, but further commitments and targets could enhance its climate strategy.
