Sony wants to stop adding extra carbon to the air completely. They call this plan “Road to Zero.” They aim to hit this big goal by the year 2050. This means changing how they make things and run their business.
The company is using more clean power. They are putting solar panels at more factories and offices. They are buying wind power and other green energy. Sony plans to use only renewable electricity for their own operations very soon.
Sony is also looking at the stuff they use. They are finding ways to use recycled plastic in their electronics. This includes TVs, cameras, and game consoles. They are making packaging smaller and using less plastic. This cuts down on waste right away.
Water use is another key area. Sony is checking how much water their factories need. They are putting in better systems to use less water. They want to save this important resource.
Old electronics are a problem. Sony runs take-back programs in many places. They collect used Sony products. They pull out useful parts and materials. They reuse these materials in new products. This keeps harmful waste out of landfills.
