Kulicke And Soffa Industries's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Kulicke and Soffa Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,755,000 kg CO2e, comprising 688,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 14,067,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a slight decrease from 2023, where emissions totalled about 16,737,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 433,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 16,304,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, the company has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, emissions were recorded at approximately 15,054,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,814,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 13,872,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a focus on managing and reducing emissions, particularly in Scope 2, which is often the largest contributor in manufacturing sectors. Despite these efforts, Kulicke and Soffa Industries has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, while Kulicke and Soffa Industries has made strides in emissions reporting and management, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
