ENVIRONMENT
COSMIC is committed to environmental sustainability, focusing on the reduction of CO₂ emissions and energy efficiency across its operational sites and in the development of semiconductor testing solutions.
This commitment is embedded within the industrial structure of the Group through a measurable and systematic approach to environmental management.
Photovoltaic panels have been installed in different buildings of the Group, including Altopascio (Italy) and Welsum (the Netherlands). Over the years we have upgraded the systems leading to greater Co2 emission reductions.
The steady increase of renewable energy use reflects the progressive optimization of on-site renewable energy generation.
Photovoltaic systems were installed on both buildings at the Altopascio facility to increase renewable energy usage.
Environmental responsibility is also reflected in product engineering.
COSMIC semiconductor test systems are designed to ensure:
- Low overall energy consumption
- Optimized power configurations
- High parallelism (“massive parallelism”) architectures that reduce energy consumption per Device Under Test (DUT).
In energy-intensive semiconductor validation environments, reducing energy use per tested device directly improves operational sustainability.
The environmental management system operates in accordance with ISO 14001, ensuring the adoption of structured processes for:
- Environmental impact monitoring
- Regulatory compliance
- Continuous performance improvement
GHG emission monitoring
COSMIC is committed to annually measuring and monitoring its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of its climate responsibility efforts.
In 2024, the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) was calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
Carbon Footprint 2024 – Key Data
- Total emissions: 15,655 tCO₂e
- Scope 1: 159.55 tCO₂e (~1%)
- Scope 2: 2,954.15 tCO₂e (~19%)
- Scope 3: 12,541.32 tCO₂e (~80%)
The emissions profile reflects the industrial and supply-chain-driven nature of semiconductor testing activities.
Science-Based Targets (SBTi) Objectives
To further strengthen its climate strategy, COSMIC has initiated the process to join the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The reduction plan is structured around:
- Annual carbon footprint measurement
- Structured ESG reporting
- Multi-lever decarbonization plan
- Evaluation of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation pathway
