Sony

Sony, a prominent player in the radio, television, and communication equipment industry headquartered in Japan, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. In fiscal year 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 19.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions across the value chain). Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 235 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 810 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 17.1 billion kg CO2e.

Sony has established ambitious climate targets, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2040, with a baseline in fiscal year 2018. This long-term goal includes a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2040. In the near term, the company aims to achieve specific reduction targets, including a 72% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2035 (compared to FY2018 levels) and a 45% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions related to the use of sold products over the same period. Additionally, Sony is working towards sourcing 100% renewable electricity for its worldwide operations by 2040 and aims to make its direct and indirect operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) net-zero by 2030. As part of its supply chain strategy, Sony is committed to ensuring that 10% of its suppliers, by emissions coverage for purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by fiscal year 2025. The company has also publicly pledged to achieve a zero environmental footprint by 2050.
