The company will cut carbon emissions across its whole business. This includes products, operations, and supply chains. Sony aims to use 100% renewable electricity in all its sites by 2030. It also plans to reduce plastic packaging and increase the use of recycled materials.
Sony will design products that last longer and are easier to repair. It will also improve energy efficiency in devices like TVs, cameras, and gaming consoles. The company says these changes will help lower its overall carbon footprint.
In addition, Sony will work with suppliers to cut emissions in the supply chain. It will support partners in adopting clean energy and better waste management. The company believes teamwork is key to reaching its goals.
Sony has already made progress. Since 2021, it cut CO2 emissions from its operations by over 40%. It also increased the share of recycled plastics in its products. Now, the Road to Zero plan builds on this momentum.
The plan covers more than climate action. It includes water conservation, biodiversity protection, and responsible resource use. Sony says it will report its progress each year so people can see the results.

Employees across Sony’s global offices will take part in the effort. Training programs will help staff understand their role in the plan. The company hopes this will create a culture of sustainability inside and outside the business.
