We believe in an "all-communicating" world. Voice, data, images and video are conveniently communicated anywhere in the world, at any time, increasing quality of life and productivity while enabling a more resource-efficient world.

With the Group vision "to be the prime driver in an all-communicating world" in mind, Ericsson will develop, produce, and offer products and services with excellent environmental performance, enabling our customers to minimize their environmental impact.

This means that we will:

• Ensure understanding and awareness of environmental issues among all employees, with the aim of continual environmental improvement and pollution prevention.
• Meet or exceed legal and other requirements to protect the environment.
• Use life-cycle techniques as a way of determining significant environmental aspects and as a basis for communicating environmental performance of our processes, products and services.
• Use "Design for Environment" strategies to control material and energy flows related to Ericsson's products and services.
• Cooperate with our supply chain to ensure environmental control of the inputs to our products and processes.
• Actively communicate this environmental work to internal as well as external stakeholders.
