Sony has announced plans to accelerate the company’s Road to Zero initiative, its plan to achieve carbon neutrality throughout its entire “value chain”, by 10 years.
The Road to Zero plan was first concieved in 2010, when Sony announced it as a “a long-term global environmental plan… to realise a sustainable society by achieving a zero environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of Sony’s products and business activities”. Originally, this target of carbon neutrality was set for 2050. However, today the company released a statement revealing a new target year of 2040.
“Sony will accelerate its target year for carbon neutrality, that is, greenhouse gas emissions of virtually zero, from 2050 to 2040. Specifically, Sony intends to make direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1 and 2) of its own operations carbon neutral by 2030, and by 2040, in addition to scopes 1 and 2, Sony will also target other emissions originating from stages such as products, supply chains, and logistics (scope 3), aiming for net zero emissions achieved in all scopes.”
