Sony has committed to 100% renewable energy operations by 2040

Japan's Sony has pledged to meet all its energy needs
with renewable energy by 2040.

Although Sony Europe has fully gone green, renewable energy at the world's 111 commercial sites currently accounts for only 7% of the electronics giant's total electricity consumption, and 80% of the group's energy consumption occurs in Japan
.

Sony said the Clean Energy pledge would cover all the electricity used to make TVs and cameras, as well as its content creation businesses
.

In addition to purchasing existing solar facilities and purchasing green-certified electricity, Sony will achieve this
by installing distributed capacity, mainly in the form of solar panels, on the roofs of its production facilities.

Sony aims to reach the initial milestone
of 30% of its electricity coming from clean energy by 2030.

So far this year, global businesses have procured 7.
2GW of clean electricity, surpassing last year's record
of 5.
4GW.
