Tokyo, Japan — Sony Gather Enterprise (hereinafter “Sony”) has set its “Green Administration 2030” (hereinafter “GM2030”) medium-term natural targets that will take impact from financial (hereinafter “FY”) 2026 through 2030. Sony’s “Street to Zero” long-term natural arrange is to accomplish a “zero natural impression” by FY2050*1 all through all stages of its item lifecycles and commerce exercises from four viewpoints: climate alter, assets, chemical substances, and biodiversity. To accomplish this, it sets medium-term natural targets each five a long time to serve as turning points. Targets are decided by “back-casting” (calculating in reverse) from the last goal.
As of the conclusion of FY2024, Sony anticipates to accomplish most of the targets set forward in its past arrange, “Green Administration 2025” (hereinafter “GM2025”), which covers the five-year period up to and counting FY2025. For GM2030, Sony has included modern records as the key execution markers based on issues distinguished in the course of GM2025, whereas moreover taking into account the current natural circumstance. The modern GM2030 records incorporate targets for decreasing add up to sum of nursery gas emanations from Scope 1 to 3 by more than 25% over 5 a long time and quickening exercises that bring approximately asset circulation.1. Diminish add up to sum of nursery gas outflows from Scope 1 to 3 by more than 25% over 5 years
As climate alter hazard gets to be an progressively genuine and squeezing issue, Sony points to accomplish net zero all through the esteem chain, counting Scopes 1 to 3, by FY2040, 10 a long time prior than the other three points of view. To accomplish this objective, we actualize the taking after measures to decrease add up to sum of nursery gas emanations by more than 25% over 5 a long time by FY2030.
Reduce Group-wide scope 1 and 2 outflows by 60% compared to FY2025 and expel the sum of carbon break even with to the leftover emissions.
Reduce Group-wide scope 3 outflows by 25% compared to FY2025.
Achieve 100% renewable power utilized in our possess operations.
Encourage major crude fabric and component providers to utilize 100% renewable power when fabricating items for the Sony Group.
- Quicken exercises that bring almost asset circulation, such as diminishing the utilize of non-circular plastics
In arrange to diminish the utilize of non-renewable assets, Sony advances the fitting utilize of assets by growing the utilize of circular materials in its items, and too by moving forward the recyclability of materials utilized in its products.
Achieve a non-circular plastic*2 utilize rate per item weight of 30% or less.
Use 100% reused materials for tin in patch for mounting of major printed circuit sheets in particular models.
Use 100% reused materials for gold in major printed circuit sheets and other components in particular models.
Promote usage of measures to guarantee the suitable utilize of assets, counting empowering items to be utilized for a longer time and cultivating reuse of products/components.
- Reinforce activities to address plastic bundling materials as a countermeasure to plastic pollution
Sony is advance fortifying its endeavors to address plastic bundling, which is one of the major causes of plastic pollution.
Achieve a plastic utilize rate in item bundling of 10% or less.
Eliminate plastic bundling for items weighing 5kg or less.
Eliminate plastic bundling utilized at Sony Bunch retail stores.
Additionally, Sony is conducting awareness-raising exercises related to the Feasible Improvement Objectives (SDGs), counting those related to the environment, by utilizing its amusement substance and IP, and collaborating with artists.
Similarly, beneath GM2030, Sony will conduct natural mindfulness and engagement exercises special to each of its business.
Regarding its endeavors to present renewable vitality, Sony has joined the RE100*3 worldwide activity pointing for 100% renewable vitality utilize, and itself is working toward sourcing 100% renewable power for the around the world operations of the Sony Gather by 2030. Besides, Sony has gotten endorsement for its net-zero targets from the “Science Based Targets activity (SBTi).” *4
Sony moreover proceeds to improve its divulgence of climate change-related data, such as by supporting the last report distributed by the Errand Drive on Climate-Related Monetary Divulgences (TCFD Recommendations*5).
Sony will proceed endeavoring to decrease its natural impression all through its supply chain and bring forward ecologically cognizant items and administrations, with the point of accomplishing its GM2030 targets and realizing an natural impression of zero by FY2050 over the whole Gather. It will proceed to lock in in trade exercises that point to bring almost a maintainable society and worldwide environment.
*1: Sony has quickened its objective of accomplishing net-zero all through the whole esteem chain, counting scopes 1 to 3, by ten a long time from FY2050 to FY2040, and its target for accomplishing 100% renewable vitality in its possess operations moreover by ten a long time, from FY2040 to FY2030.
*2: Plastics other than reused or renewable plastics.
*3: A worldwide activity whose individuals look for to supply the power for their commerce exercises utilizing 100% renewable vitality, which Sony joined in 2018.
*4: An worldwide activity to empower companies to set science-based nursery gas lessening targets in arrange to constrain the increment in the normal worldwide temperature due to climate alter to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels.
*5: A assignment constrain built up by the Monetary Steadiness Board (FSB) in 2015, the TCFD Suggestions are a system for the intentional revelation by companies of data such as climate-related dangers and openings.
