Sony Europe

Last week, Sony Europe Lund colleagues participated in Coder Kids – an event aiming to inspire children to learn more about coding in a tech-centred environment! 🤓 Together with other companies, our colleagues from Lund Research & Technology Center spent a volunteering day sharing their knowledge and passion for coding and coaching the little students. 👾 Many thanks to all the fantastic curious kids – our future engineers! - and to Ideon Science Park for organizing this recurring event, as well as our passionate colleagues for sharing your talent & inspiration, making a positive difference in our community! 🙌🏼   #Sony_Lund #SonyCares #SocialContribution #Sustainability  

Sony recognizes the importance of preserving the natural environment that sustains all life on the Earth for future generations, thus Sony Europe Sustainability Team and Design Centre Europe teams created a permanent space, Planet Station, in our Weybridge office to showcase Sony's progress in environmental sustainability. 🌿   Planet Station shows Sony projects, explains terminology and facts, and presents details about our products and packaging with the purpose of increasing awareness of Sony’s Environmental impact.   We are proud of this installation and how innovation can contribute to sustainability on Earth. 🙌🏼   #SonyCares #Sustainability #Environment

Earlier this month, Sony Berlin participated in Schichtwechsel (“shift change”), an initiative across Germany that allows companies' employees and employees from workshops for disabled people to swap jobs for a day, broadening horizons, fostering mutual understanding and gaining new insights. 🔁 This year, we welcomed Thorsten and Nicole from Mosaik-Berlin gGmbH, one of the umbrella organizations for these workshops. They joined our Retail Activation Team to learn about sales, performance management, and find out more about our WH1000-XM5 headphones. 🎧 Then, five Sony employees had the opportunity to work in various workshops, including printing, bookbinding, painting, shipping, and in the canteen.   It was an enriching experience for all the participants and thanks to everyone who participated in and made it a success, we look forward to next year’s Schichtwechsel! 🙌🏼 Sony Europe #Sustainability #Diversity

Dive into the incredible waters of Revillagigedo National Park with the marine biologist Dr. Pelayo Salinas de León who relies on his Sony Alpha camera for underwater photography capturing this incredible marine sanctuary and inspiring us to preserve it. “The underwater world – what goes on below the surface – is understandably alien to us. It’s a vast and challenging environment. By exploring, studying and photographing the last wild places in our blue planet, I want to share the beauty of our oceans so people can relate to it and become advocates for its protection.” Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/edUiNwDN   📸: Pelayo Salinas de León   #Sony #SonyEurope #SonyCares #Sustainability #Environment #SonyAlpha #AlphaUniverse

Some weeks ago, Sony Hungary had the pleasure of hosting our Solidarity Games, where seven teams came together to challenge their creativity and cooperation through a series of engaging games. 🎲 Participants tackled fun challenges that simulated different abilities, such as completing tasks with one hand or while blindfolded. These activities not only fostered teamwork but also built empathy and understanding among colleagues. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from one another, strengthen our bonds, and most importantly, have fun together! A big thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a success! Let's continue to embrace diversity and inclusion in all that we do! 💪🤝 Sony Europe #Sustainability #Diversity

Earlier this week, Sony Europe welcomed Naomi Climer CBE for an engaging, motivating, and impactful webinar titled “Why DE&I Matters for the Future of Work”. 💼   Broadcast live from our Weybridge office, Naomi brought her invaluable experience and perspective on how diverse teams are at the heart of shaping the future of work. She highlighted the importance of fostering diversity to drive innovation and better equip society, individuals, and companies for the transformations ahead.   Naomi is an accomplished engineer who has worked in major organisations such as the BBC and Sony. She is also a Co-Founder and Trustee of the Institute for the Future of Work (IFOW), has a portfolio of Non-Executive Directorships (including on the Board of Sony UK Technology Centre in Pencoed) and is a past President of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).   Thank you, Naomi, for this inspiring session and for bringing your relevant and strong reflections. ✨   #SonyEurope #Sustainability #Diversity

Recently, our Sony Romania team enjoyed a volunteering day together on the beautiful beach of Constanta. They spent a day collecting garbage on the beach, after hosting a big music festival which produced a lot of waste. The team showed great sensitivity to environmental issues by helping the community and local authorities, collecting well over 100 kg of garbage! 🗑️ Great job to all the participants and thanks for your precious contribution to the environment! 🙌🏼 Sony Europe #SonyCares #Sustainability #SocialContribution

Last September, our Sony Budapest branch welcomed Amnesty International to our office for a workshop on Gender Equality in the Workplace. Amnesty International experts gave a view on the complex problems of gender inequality in the workplace, such as the gender pay gap, challenges women face in leadership, strategies to promote equality, and shared practices that promote gender equality. Following the presentation, managers and team leads attended an interactive group-focused workshop that delved deeper into specific challenges and opportunities related to gender equality, equipping participants with practical strategies and tools to foster inclusivity within their teams. Thank you Amnesty International for your expertise and guidance! Let's continue to work all together to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered! 💪🌟 Sony Europe #Sustainability #Diversity #SonyCares
