Sony has committed to a series of climate targets. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by FY2040 from a FY2018 base year, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This includes a near-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 72% by FY2035 from a FY2018 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 45% over the same period. Sony also commits that 10% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by FY2025. Their long-term targets involve reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040 from a FY2018 base year.

Furthermore, Sony plans to make direct and indirect GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) from its own business operations net-zero by 2030 and aims to switch to 100% renewable energy for electricity used at its business sites by the same year. They also signed The Climate Pledge in 2023.
