Carbon footprint

Overview

The key to making a change is to work together. In order to minimise the carbon footprint of our products, we see the need to collaborate with our suppliers. And to inspire our customers to make good choices.

Working together, both upstream and downstream in the supply chain, is really the only way to substantially reduce the environmental impact of a product. We fully recognise this. Therefore, we have set emission targets covering not only Sony Mobile’s internal operations but also emissions from the full life cycle of our products.

These are our goals:

• By 2015 reduce the total greenhouse gas emissions from the full life cycle of Sony Mobile’s products by 15%*
• By 2015 reduce the total greenhouse gas emissions from Sony Mobile’s internal activities by 20% *

* based on year 2008 levels

To continue our support for a comprehensive United Nations framework for tackling climate change, we have signed the Copenhagen Communiqué.
