Stars and planets form from the same material, thus some of their properties are expected to be inter-connected. In order to characterise exoplanets, we need to investigate the planet-hosting stars. Carbon and oxygen are quite abundant and play an important role in stellar interiors by generating energy in thermonuclear reactions. Abundances of C and O may influence water availability on exoplanets. The C/O ratio also controls an amount of carbides and silicates that can be formed. Thus, we are performing a uniform study of C/O ratios in bright stars ( V < mag) located towards the northern ecliptic pole which will be targeted by the TESS and JWST space missions. The first results for a sample of 140 stars analysed are presented.
