Cohu, a US-headquartered company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. industry, has reported its carbon emissions and committed to ambitious reduction targets.

For 2025, Cohu's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 3,410,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of about 1,291,000 kg CO2e, including approximately 906,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions, and Scope 2 emissions of around 5,688,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 10,314,000 kg CO2e. Looking back to 2022, Cohu's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1,150,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at around 9,610,000 kg CO2e. For 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 450,999 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 9,538,000 kg CO2e (location-based) or 7,994,000 kg CO2e (market-based). No emissions data is available for 2020. Cohu has not disclosed Scope 3 emissions data for any reported year.

Cohu has set near-term science-based targets. These targets, verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), commit Cohu, Inc. to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2031 from a 2023 base year. Additionally, Cohu, Inc. commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, and use of sold products by 27.5% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Cohu initially committed to engage with the SBTi in February 2024 with the goal of developing near-term science-based emissions reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2.
