Sonos Move 2 Environmental Report

This report provides the sustainability performance of Sonos Move 2. Building upon the previous generation of Move, Sonos made sustainability advancements to reduce the product’s environmental impacts. Our report is based on a life cycle assessment (LCA), a scientific method used to measure environmental impacts across the full product life cycle (manufacturing, transport, packaging, use, and end-of-life). The Move 2 life cycle assessment was verified by a third party to ensure that our results are transparent and valid.1 Our LCA accounts for a wide range of environmental impacts, from resource availability to human health.2 We also pay close attention to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with each stage of the Move 2’s life cycle because of our long-term carbon reduction goals.

Move 2 Emissions by Life Cycle Phase

Energy Efficiency

Energy use is the most significant contributor to Sonos’ carbon footprint, so we intentionally utilized hardware and software components with power-saving features for Move 2. We continually update our software with the ambition to deliver additional energy-saving advancements over time. Our goal is to use less energy without compromising the listening experience.

Move 2 has 25% greater battery capacity and a more energy-efficient design that delivers more than twice the listening time of Move — up to 24 hours per charge.3

Design for Serviceability

Linear design generates unnecessary waste. To encourage reuse, increase product longevity, and reduce emissions across our global value chain, we’ve worked to make our products easier to disassemble and reassemble for more efficient refurbishment and eventual recycling. To purchase a refurbished product, please visit our Sonos Certified Refurbished page. We are developing the infrastructure to help measure our progress and further reduce the environmental impact of reverse logistics, specifically when a customer or retail partner returns a product. By transitioning to regional repairs, we can also prevent excess shipping emissions.

Move 2 has been engineered to provide improved serviceability without sacrificing durability.

Highlights

• Replaceable battery can be quickly and easily installed by the user to extend the life of the product
• Move 2 Charging Base and battery are reverse compatible to increase the longevity of first-generation Move
• Support for standardized USB-C Power Delivery charging in addition to Charging Base

Safer Materials

We choose materials for our products with human and environmental health top of minds. As a result, our products meet or exceed all applicable global regulations on restricted, banned, or reportable substances and chemicals including, but not limited to: EU and China RoHS, EU REACH, EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD), EU Battery Directive.

Highlights
Move 2 Charging Base is our first accessory to incorporate water-based paints, which have lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to solvent-based paints8

Circular Materials

We carefully select the materials that go into our products to reduce our reliance on virgin resources and lower our environmental impact.

Material Usage
The following graph shows materials used for Move 2(9)

Highlights
By incorporating recycled content, Move 2 uses 3.2% less virgin plastic 10.

Packaging

We design, develop, and deliver premium, circular packaging that provides excellent protection with minimal environmental impact. Our sustainable packaging efforts have two main goals:

• Minimize single-use plastics and incorporate certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics
• Increase the use of sustainably sourced papers, defined as those made from either PCR paper content, Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified mix of virgin and PCR fibres, or recyclable plant-based fibres

2. Impact categories are assessed with the following methods: IPCC100a (AR6) for Climate Change
   (kg CO2 eq.); CEDv1.02 for Cumulative Energy Demand (MJ); AWARE v1.02 for Water Use (m3); ReCiPe 2016 Endpoint (H) for Resource Availability ($), Ecosystem (Species*year), Human Health (disability-adjusted life year).

3. Playback time varies depending on volume, connection, voice assistant activity, and other factors.

4. Calculations based on operation at 60 Hz 120 VAC with Sonos Voice Control enabled.

5. Sleep functionality refers to all components being in the lowest possible power state, including the CPU. The system returns to full functionality through physical interaction or user-interface triggers.

6. The idle power consumption of Move 2 is available for public reference at https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/sonos-power-consumption-while-idle.

7. Measured at volume setting 30 on the Sonos S2 controller. Playback power will vary depending on the content being streamed and the player volume setting.

8. Sonos is performing trials on smaller products and accessories to understand and develop this paint technology.

9. Product Material Usage is based on North America SKU. Product Material Usage for the European SKU is consistent with the North American SKU except for the AC/DC adapter for the Charging Base.

10. Move 2 utilizes mechanically recycled post-consumer plastic content blended with virgin resin for cosmetics and performance; virgin plastic includes filled and unfilled plastic material. The percentage is calculated at the product launch.
