Sony Ericsson announces new GreenHeart™ portfolio strategy and bold CO² emissions reduction targets 04 June 2009
from: Press Release- Company commits to 20% CO² emissions reduction across internal operations by 2015
- Additional commitment to reduce full life cycle CO² emissions by 15% for all products by 2015
- New GreenHeart™ pioneer products commits company to reduce overall environmental impact of its entire portfolio
London – June 4, 2009 – Sony Ericsson today unveiled goals for reducing CO²
emissions across the whole company by 20% by 2015 in absolute terms. At
the same time the company committed to reducing the total greenhouse
gas emissions by 15% from the full life cycle of its products i.e. from
the mining, production, through the use by consumers to the end of life
management by 2015.
A key pillar of these commitments is the introduction of Sony
Ericsson’s new GreenHeart™ pioneer products which launched with two
flagship phones – the C901 GreenHeart™ and Naite- and
the MH300 headset, one of the greenest on the market. Green
innovations showcased in the new GreenHeart™ pioneer phones will
migrate into the wider portfolio enabling the company to continually
reduce the environmental impact of its entire portfolio, to become a
benchmark for the industry.
Both the C901 GreenHeart™ and Naite build on Sony Ericsson’s
industry leading ‘green core’, the result of a long standing commitment
to eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals from its phones. Additional
‘green’ features include an e-manual that reduces paper usage by over
90%, smaller packaging that decreases transport related CO² emissions by over 80%, recycled plastics and a low-power charger. Thanks to these innovations, the overall CO² footprint of the GreenHeart™ products is reduced by 15%.
“Since the start of the joint venture in 2001, Sony Ericsson has
strived to exceed industry standards in the removal of harmful
substances and energy efficient chargers. We have implemented a full
life cycle approach to sustainability in order to build phones with a
green core as well as reducing CO²
emissions from the product in use and ensuring sustainable end-of-life
treatment.” said Dick Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. ”Today’s
announcement on emission reduction targets and the new GreenHeart™
pioneer products is the next step in building a more sustainable
business and a key pillar in our invigorated product portfolio
strategy.”

The company is also committing to a significant increase in the
volume of phones collected as part of its global TakeBack initiative.
Sony Ericsson aims to collect one million phones yearly
from its own system from 2011 onwards making it easy for consumers to
recycle by providing more locations and information about the process.
Anne-Sofie Andersson, Director, International Chemical Secretariat
(ChemSec) said, “Sony Ericsson proactively engages with our
organisation on a number of chemicals related sustainability issues. In
the ChemSec Business Group Sony Ericsson is a constructive and
ambitious counterpart, actively contributing to the debate on
initiatives such as the revision of RoHS, aimed at reducing the use of
toxic chemicals and heavy metals in consumer goods.”
“Information and communications technologies can have a major role
to play in delivering a low carbon world,” states Peter Madden, Chief
Executive, Forum for the Future. “ We’re really pleased to be working
with one of the leading manufacturers – Sony Ericsson – as they commit
to making the carbon reductions necessary to avoid climate change and
ensure their business can prosper in the low carbon economy of the
future.”
