Sony Pictures Entertainment has set new environmental goals to be completed in 2020, including reducing carbon emissions by 15 percent compared to 2012 levels.
The company also says it will encourage consumers to purchase movies digitally, which it expects will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 75 percent compared to a 2012 baseline. Thanks to DVD packaging redesigns and other supply chain efforts, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has reduced CO2 emissions from DVD packaging by 22 percent as of 2012 compared to 2006 levels, according to the company.
The studio became a zero-waste site in 2011 and, as of last year, had reduced its overall carbon emissions by more than 20 percent compared to 2006 levels.
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions and promoting the shift from B2B Email List physical production and distribution to digital, Sony's second-generation sustainability goals include achieving sustainable status for film and television production.
The company says it will also use the studio's global reach to raise environmental awareness and encourage sustainable practices among employees and beyond. These efforts will include on-air and online marketing.
In 2010, Sony Pictures received LEED Gold certification for the studio's Site and Office Transformation (LOT) project, which included the construction of two new 100,000-square-foot office buildings and a parking structure.
In addition to its own 232-kW solar array on the roof of the Jimmy Stewart Building on the company's Culver City, Calif., studio lot, Sony Pictures incentivized the purchase of home solar systems and fuel-efficient cars for employees. To date, more than 260 vehicles have been purchased and 55 employees have installed solar panels on their homes, saving more than 200,000 gallons of gasoline and generating 563 MWh of clean energy, the company reports.
Sony Pictures' efforts contribute to the Road to Zero, Sony Corporation's global environmental plan, which aims to achieve zero environmental impact across the life cycle of the company's products and businesses by 2050.
Also this week, Unilever announced that it has reduced CO2 emissions from its manufacturing and logistics operations by more than 1 million metric tons since 2008, saving the company more than €300 million ($394.8 million). For production, this represents a reduction of 31.5 percent per metric ton of product, a company spokesman told Environmental Leader.
