Sony claims annual CO2 emissions cut by 100,000 tons

Sony says that it has managed to reduced its global CO2 emissions by approximately 100,000 tons over the last financial year. The achievement comes on the back of several company-wide environmental initiatives. 'Through continuous energy efficiency efforts, European operations have reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 90 per cent between 2000 and 2008,' added the company.

The Studio’s disc replication arm, Sony DADC, has announced that it’s purchasing more than 83 million kilowatt-hours of green power in the US annually – enough to cover 44 per cent of its purchased electricity use. Meanwhile, solar photovoltaic cells have been installed on the roof of a building on the Sony Pictures Culver City lot, as part of a pilot solar energy scheme.
