Commitment to Sustainability:
In recent years, customers and stakeholders have grown increasingly aware of how crucial it is that companies fulfil their overall responsibilities to our communities throughout their supply chains, including procurement and production. Sony takes these concerns seriously and is working closely with its suppliers on initiatives in fields such as human rights, labour conditions, health and safety, and environmental protection.
These initiatives cover not only Sony’s own sites, but sites throughout the supply chain — from parts and material suppliers, to mineral mining operations, to production sites operated both by Sony and by subcontractors.

Our Commitment to You:
This focus to a sustainable supply chain will be applied to your products as well. We will recommend established trusted vendors, or work with you to ensure your preferred suppliers meet our compliance standards. Through our established Green Partner programme, we work with suppliers and support them to implement best practices.
