Understanding Environmental Impact from the Perspective of Product Life Cycles
|
|
|
|
| The chart below shows Sony's impact on the environment throughout product life cycles, including energy and resources used during Sony's business activities, energy consumed by Sony products when used by their purchasers, and the recycling and disposal of products after use. The chart shows the principal environmental impact during fiscal 2006 for items that Sony can recognize and manage directly. |

Environmental Indices
|
|
|
|
| Based on careful consideration of the life cycles of its business activities, Sony has established its own unique set of environmental indices. These indices provide quantitative measurements of environmental impact, with lower numerical values signifying lower levels of impact. In Green Management 2010, which lays down environmental targets through fiscal 2010, Sony has set targets for these indices. |
