Long-Term Environmental Goals

Climate Change

Sharp has up to now striven to use less energy in our business activities and to make products that are increasingly more energy efficient so as to reduce the amount of energy consumed by households and society as a whole.

• Achieve net zero CO2 emissions in Sharp business activities.
• Create more clean energy than the total amount of energy consumed in Sharp’s entire supply chain.
  

Resource Recycling

By making more efficient use of resources and continuing to offer maximum value with minimal resources, Sharp is taking on the challenge of achieving the following two goals by 2050 and thus building a circular economy and realising a recycling-oriented society.

• Use no newly extracted resources*for making products.
• Achieve zero final disposal to landfill of waste generated in Sharp business activities.

Safety and Security

Sharp’s business activities must not have a negative effect on people’s health, the natural environment, or ecosystems.

• Properly manage chemicals in order to protect people’s health, the natural environment, and ecosystems. 

Changing the world with 8K+5G and AIoT

Sharp is committed to creating a sustainable future through our business vision. We have been working to develop an 8K+5G ecosystem, expand COCORO LIFE services, and strengthen our cloud services. This shift towards innovative systems and solutions-focused business, integrating hardware, software, and services, will allow Sharp to offer new value to the world as "One Sharp" and address the issues facing the international community.

Sharp is working to expand our successful business areas, such as smart homes, entertainment, and smart offices, while also focusing on healthcare, education, security, industry, and mobility-related areas. In each of these areas, Sharp's focus is on balancing business expansion with addressing social issues, in order to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015.
