Sony's reported carbon emissions

Sony reported total global emissions of approximately 20.1 billion kg CO2e for the fiscal year 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. **Key Emissions Data:** * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 20.1 billion kg CO2e. * Scope 1: Approximately 235 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2: Approximately 810 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3: Approximately 17.1 billion kg CO2e, with the largest portion from the "use of sold products" (approximately 10.2 billion kg CO2e) and "purchased goods and services" (approximately 4.3 billion kg CO2e). **Climate Commitments and Targets:** Sony has established a comprehensive climate strategy, aiming for ambitious reductions and ultimately net-zero emissions. * **Net-Zero Ambition:** Sony aims to achieve a zero environmental footprint by 2050, with an updated goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by fiscal year 2040. * **Scope 1 and 2 Net-Zero:** The company aims to make its direct and indirect emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) net-zero by 2030. * **Renewable Energy:** Sony intends to source 100% renewable electricity for its global operations by 2040. * **Absolute Emissions Reduction Targets (from FY2018 baseline):** * Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 72% by fiscal year 2035. * Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 45% by fiscal year 2035. * A broader long-term target is to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2040. * **Supplier Engagement:** Sony is committed to ensuring that 10% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by fiscal year 2025. These targets are aligned with the goals of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reinforcing Sony's commitment to climate action. The company also participates in the Climate Pledge, further demonstrating its dedication to decarbonisation.
