Sony announced on Wednesday that it decided to bring forward its deadline for reaching carbon neutrality by a decade, saying it now plans to achieve net-zero emissions across its whole business by 2040.
The decision was made as climate change effects grow increasingly visible and serious worldwide, and the transition to a decarbonized society has become an important problem, according to the company.
Sony stated that it wants its own factories to be carbon neutral by 2030, a decade sooner than its previous goal, and that it expects to achieve this through boosting the use of renewable energy and energy-saving measures.
