Sony and the Environment
Striving to achieve a zero environmental footprint
Environmental Features in Sony Products
At Sony we always endeavor to reduce environmental impact in our wide range of products. These efforts are evident in compact, lightweight, energy-efficient designs that reduce wasted resources and power consumption, and our commitment to using recycled materials.
More resourceful using fewer resources
Sony's engineers have always collaborated with cinematographers. This continues in the VENICE in a much more compact cinema - retaining the quality and durability for harsh shooting environments, while dramatically reducing manufacturing resource use.

Lenses
Sony lenses are renowned for their performance – letting you confidently capture any moment. But it is innovation reflecting our environmental concern that makes them truly unique.
Soundbar
The HT-SF200 is an all-in-one soundbar with built-in subwoofer. Sony went to great lengths to give it a full sound, but with a smaller footprint. Because it is smaller than conventional soundbars, it's also far more energy efficient to ship.
aibo
A revolutionary new packaging is born. aibo arrives snugly wrapped, and protected from damage, in a felt package produced from 50% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles.
PlayStation®
You can experience amazing virtual worlds with the power of PlayStation®. Discover how, in the real world, Sony ensures reduced environmental impact and energy saving.
Home theatre
Newly developed sound bar balances recycled plastics with the superior audio performance you’d expect from Sony.

Stacked full of bright ideas

Message from CEO
Accelerate our environmental initiatives as we advance to the next stage
Environmental initiatives are one of Sony’s most important topics in this age in which a company’s consideration of the environment is one of the selection standards for customers when purchasing products.
Sony has continued to promote environmental activities based on our "Road to Zero" environmental plan that aims for a zero environmental footprint. In order to accelerate our environmental activities, we have now established our “Green Management 2020” environmental targets (achievement year : FY2020). As we move toward these targets, the entire Group, including the field of entertainment in addition to electronics, will make the best use of its individual strengths in performing these activities.
The Sony Group has now entered the next stage of its environmental activities. Sony is committed not only to offering products, services and content that deliver exciting user experiences by inspiring and fulfilling the curiosity of our customers around the world, but also, through our "Road to Zero" environmental plan, to working towards our goal of a zero environmental footprint throughout our business activities.
