Sharp's Global Vision. Creating a Better Tomorrow.

At Sharp, our purpose goes beyond innovation — it’s about transforming lives and shaping a more sustainable and compassionate future. Guided by our corporate philosophy of “Sincerity and Creativity,” we are committed to being an indispensable part of people’s lives and communities around the world.

Driven by Purpose. Guided by Vision.

Our global vision is rooted in the belief that technology should serve humanity. That’s why we focus on developing innovative products and solutions that contribute to a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world. From cutting-edge displays and smart appliances to green energy and community initiatives, we are reimagining how technology enhances everyday life.

We envision a world where our technologies help address social challenges, reduce environmental impact, and foster inclusive progress. Sharp is proud to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), helping pave the way for a brighter global future. 

Innovating for Life

We believe innovation should enhance lives in meaningful ways. From Plasmacluster™ air purifiers that promote healthier homes to energy-saving 8K displays, we’re focused on technology that supports well-being and sustainability.

Environmental Leadership

We’re committed to a circular economy and low-carbon future, designing products with resource efficiency in mind — from cutting CO₂ emissions to using recycled materials. Our Environmental Vision 2050 guides efforts to reduce impact at every stage.

Resopnsible Business Practices

Sharp is committed to ethical governance, fair trade, and transparency. We maintain strict compliance across global operations, uphold human rights, and prioritise safe workplaces — ensuring trust through our global CSR strategy.

Empowering Communities

We believe in growing together with the communities we serve. Whether it’s supporting digital literacy in schools, fundraising for youth mental health, or reducing e-waste through product stewardship, Sharp works in partnership with local organisations to drive real, positive change.

In 2019 Sharp formulated SHARP Eco Vision 2050, a long-term environmental plan based on our basic environmental policy of “Creating an Environmentally Conscious Company with Sincerity and Creativity,” established in 1992.

Climate Action Backed by Science

Sharp is taking decisive steps to combat climate change by aligning our environmental goals with global standards. As part of our commitment, we have joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) — a globally recognised framework that ensures our greenhouse gas reduction targets are grounded in climate science and aligned with the Paris Agreement.

Our targets have been officially validated by the SBTi, reinforcing our commitment to reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain.

In Japan, Sharp also plays an active role in the Liaison Group of Japanese Electrical and Electronics Industries for Global Warming Prevention. This industry group shares best practices for energy efficiency, promotes low-carbon innovation in manufacturing, and collaborates on policy recommendations to accelerate meaningful climate action.

By combining science, innovation, and collaboration, Sharp is helping lead the transition to a low-carbon future.

Long-Term Environmental Goals

Sharp is working towards realising a sustainable global environment by pursuing long-term goals set in three fields of action with 2050 as the target year: climate change, resource recycling, and safety and security.

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.

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. 

Promoting CSR Across the Supply Chain.

We hold our suppliers to high ethical and environmental standards through a strict code of conduct covering labour rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption — while also supporting the communities around our operations.
