Through a robust Ericsson Group Management System (EGMS), including policies and directives, per­formance reviews and a commitment to opera­tional excellence, we ensure transparent decision-making and employee accountability.

Risk management is integrated in the Ericsson Group Management System and business processes. it covers risks related to Corporate Responsibility, such as regulatory compliance and possible reputational risks, as well as environmental and social responsibility risks.

For Ericsson, Corporate Responsibility is about integrating ethical, environmental and social imperatives into the way we work and throughout our value chain, promoting an energy-lean prod­uct portfolio and demonstrating the benefits of ICT to further the goals of sustainability.

In 2006, Ericsson joined the Business Leaders initiative on Human Rights (BLiHR), designed to help lead and develop the corporate response to human rights.

Every Ericsson supplier must comply with the Ericsson code of conduct, which is based on the UN Global Compact's ten principles covering human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption.
