 We partner with our employees to encourage consideration of the health of our Earth. We promote recycling, the use of reusable water bottles, and a bike-to-work program. We have installed energy saving technology for lighting and heating, source green electricity and self-produce energy by photovoltaic systems at certain locations. We are ISO 14001-certified at our facility in Kolbermoor, Germany.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

 Nine of our key customers provide semiconductor solutions to manage and reduce power consumption and enable solar and wind power generation. We are enabling these important technologies including power management devices, controllers, inverters, sensors, motor drivers and gate drivers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 More directly, in late 2023, Cohu released its DI-Core AI Inspection software, which provides real-time computation that enables semiconductor manufacturers to improve visual inspection accuracy at production speeds. The product utilizes proprietary deep learning and neural network technologies to improve inspection yield without compromising quality. We believe that the product offers significant sustainability benefits in terms of scrap material avoided. For example, in a typical back-end semiconductor manufacturing facility, annual scrap avoided could be in excess of tens of millions of semiconductor devices. |
