Sony understands the importance of appropriate disclosure to and communication with stakeholders.
Since 2019, Sony releases its Corporate Report to comprehensively communicate financial information and non-financial information, including policies for mid-to-long-term value creation and business strategies. Sony also posts financial data, non-financial information and business summaries designed primarily for investors and shareholders on the Investor Relations section of its website.
In addition, Sony releases the Sustainability Report 2020 to provide a comprehensive and detailed report on non-financial information for a wide range of stakeholders. This report is organized by the material topics which form the foundation for Sony's long-term value creation, and it focuses on activities in fiscal 2019.
Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Information
Sony first issued its environmental report in 1994, then enhanced the information related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and changed the name of the report to "CSR report" in 2003. In order to keep the information disclosed up to date as Sony's scope of business and circumstances change, Sony has been disclosing its CSR activities mainly on the web since 2014. In 2018, the report was renamed the "Sustainability Report."
In 2020, Sony compiled and issued this report mainly in PDF format to improve readability. For more information on Sony's sustainability and CSR activities, please refer to this report. In addition, the Sustainability section on the Sony Group Portal Website includes sections on the Environment, Social Contribution, Accessibility and Diversity & Inclusion.
Please note, however, that reporting on material activities, such as major organizational changes, includes information up through July 31, 2020.
In the main text of the report, "Sony" refers to the entire Sony Group, not just Sony Corporation. The Sony Group is Sony Corporation — the parent company that operates in Japan — and all consolidated subsidiaries in which Sony Corporation holds a capital stake of more than 50%.
For consolidated subsidiaries, please see Affiliated Companies (Consolidated Subsidiaries) at the Sony Group Portal Website.
