The Ericsson Response program is a global initiative that aims to develop a better and faster response to human suffering caused by disasters.

Ericsson has a great deal of experience in humanitarian response activities and brings its expertise to relief efforts around the world. Ericsson was first in the telecom industry to establish a coordinated response to disasters, and the Ericsson Response program has been in operation since year 2000.

Essential to this program are the skilled and dedicated volunteers that give up their time for this relief work. The Ericsson Response Volunteer (ERV) program provides employees with the opportunity to become involved in this initiative, in parallel with the employee’s normal day to day work. Ericsson’s aim is to empower employees to make a difference in society and contribute positively to communities around the world. Ericsson Response was involved in a number of activities in 2007.
