Sony has credible net-zero targets validated by SBTi and strong operational emissions reporting, but Scope 3 remains massive at 18Mt CO₂e with only marginal long-term reduction from baseline. Renewable energy sits at 40%, far short of its 2030 goal. Nature impacts are largely unmapped despite electronics' mineral-intensive supply chain.
