Sony Corporation said it was planning to give its staff two weeks off during the summer months in order to save energy.
The major consumer electronics maker is negotiating with its trade union to move up daily working hours to cover a time zone for lower power demand at its headquarters as well as all other offices and development footholds, the company said.
And by shutting down offices, air conditioners, elevators, and other facilities, the electronics giant believes it could save up to 25 percent of the power it normally consumes during the peak summer months, said a Sony spokesman.
"We hope efforts like this will significantly reduce our power consumption," he said.
Japan has been suffering power shortages due to the damage caused to its nuclear and thermal power stations.
