The table below outlines the targets for logistics set forth in Green Management 2015. To facilitate the achievement of these targets, Sony is decreasing shipping weight by reducing the weight of finished products. At the same time, Sony is striving to reduce CO2 emissions and the amount of packaging materials used in logistics by optimizing transportation efficiency (i.e., making product packaging more compact, and improving load efficiency and package design), as well as by switching to modes of transportation and utilizing other shipping techniques that lessen our environmental footprint, including modal shift and joint shipping.

Mid-Term Targets for Logistics

Climate Change	Reduce CO2 emissions from logistics by 14% from the fiscal year 2008 level
Resources	Reduce waste from packaging for incoming parts by 16% from the fiscal year 2008 level

In fiscal year 2011, CO2 emissions from logistics totaled approximately 340,000 tons, 22% lower than in fiscal year 2008 and approximately 15% lower than in fiscal year 2010. Sony will continue working to further reduce CO2 emissions from logistics by reducing the size / weight of products and cartons and promoting modal shift.

Since fiscal year 2008, the base year for its mid-term environmental targets, Sony has taken steps to expand the scope of calculation for CO2 emissions from logistics. Currently, Sony includes data for more than 40 countries and territories. For countries and territories included after fiscal year 2008, targets are set in line with the overall mid-term target using the first year of inclusion as the base year. Owing to the addition of several countries and territories to the scope of calculation, CO2 emissions from logistics in fiscal year 2011 amounted to approximately 470,000 tons.
