Sony Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Sony Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Sony Group reported a total waste generation of 65,375 metric tonnes, of which 83.84% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Sony Group has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Sony Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Sony Group's total waste generation increased by 26.66%, including a 18.98% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Sony Group's waste recovery rate declined by 14.41%, with a further 13.33% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Sony Group is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
