ERICSSON WORLDWIDE















In Canada and 14 of the United States offices we have been communicating with employees at work and at home on how they can make a difference by taking part in environmental sustainability. We organised a month of activities with each week dedicated to a particular issue: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste, The environment, Transportation and Energy. Events were also linked to Earth Day to get maximum attention. Volunteers from the Green Team spread the word and each site held its own events as well as sharing their experiences with other locations.
Feedback from employees has been overwhelming and the campaign has resulted in many positive behaviour changes including: using reusable shopping bags, establishing recycling programmes, a reduction of electricity consumption in Ericsson’s Canadian locations and an increase in car pooling. Overall Ericsson employees in this region are more aware of a range of activities they can be involved in at home and at work, making lifestyle choices to reduce environmental impacts. There has been interest in setting up a working committee to discuss and implement opportunities to make the company more environmentally responsible throughout the year.
