Communications for allWe believe that connectivity is a starting point for economic growth and improved quality of life.

Connectivity is improving livelihoods…

…by fostering peace and

reconnecting families…

…and by supporting

disaster-relief efforts.

To date Connect To Learn has brought 21st-century education to 33 schools around the world

The carbon footprint

of an average ICT user is estimated to

decrease 20% between 2007

and 2020…

…so we are designing

products and solutions tomake this happen…

We are reducing our environmental impact throughout our value chain.

Ericsson’s Psi Ψ 3G coverage solution reduces power consumption by up to 40%

The Antenna-Integrated Radio (AIR) cuts energy consumption by 40%

By 2017, 85% of the world’s population will have access to mobile-broadband coverage via 3G networks

Ericsson increased its video conference rooms globally by 60% in 2012, contributing to the reduction of CO2e emissions per employee

34% of our global facilities use certified green electricity

and 74% at measured European facilities

…and reducing carbon emissions

in our own operations.

reducing our environmental impact

In Sweden, we have used 100% certified green electricity since 2008

…finding smarter ways of

working…

enabling a low-carbon economyThe ICT sector contributes about 2% of global CO2e emissions, but can help eliminate a significant portion of the remaining 98% from other industries.

ICT solutions will enable the

low-carbon economy

of the future…

…and will transformindustries and

cities.

By 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in an urban

area or city.

Stockholm Royal Seaport is an ICT-enabled city district that will be climate-positive by 2030

conducting business responsiblyWherever we operate, integrity and high ethical standards are fundamental to our work.

Through high ethical standards and our Code of Business

Ethics, we promote fair employment, safe

working conditions and concern for the

environment.

We have zero tolerance for corruption…

…and put human rights in focus throughout our

value chain.In 2012, Ericsson joined the Institute for Human Rights and Business Framework to discuss best practice for corporate responsibility in Myanmar

Our auditors conducted over 640 supplier Code of Conduct audits in 2012

Our Sales Compliance Board is improving internal governance of human rights issues in the sales process

Close to 100% of Ericsson employees worldwide have acknowledged our Code of Business Ethics
