We apply our innovation to market-based solutions that empower people and society to help shape a more sustainable world. In the Networked Society, Ericsson is the leading advocate of Technology for Good. By using broadband and mobility to address poverty, human rights, climate change and other challenges, we work to ensure that our technology is a force for good and lasting change.
Communications change lives for the better. Connectivity has a vital role to play in achieving the Millennium Development Goals by opening up access to 21st century services that improve quality of life and increase economic prosperity.
We are working constantly to improve the way we design and manufacture our products and solutions – the materials, methods and processes – and to make them more efficient, in order to reduce the impact we and our industry have on the environment. A key part of our environmental stewardship is ensuring our own carbon footprint is continuously reduced.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can make a substantial contribution to enabling a low-carbon economy. We are providing transformational solutions to support development of sustainable cities as well as for other industries such as transportation and energy to reduce carbon impact while increasing efficiency and quality of life.
A continuous emphasis on the long-term integrity of our business benefits everyone in the value chain. The Ericsson Group Management System (EGMS),along with a strong focus on business ethics and a responsible supply chain help us maintain high standards across our global operations. .
Around the world our Regions are actively engaged in addressing global sustainability and corporate responsibility needs at the local level, working together with local stakeholders to create solutions that benefit communication for all, a low-carbon economy and reduced environmental impact.
A worldwide employee volunteer initiative that provides communications for disaster-relief operations marked its 10th anniversary in 2010. Since 2000, Ericsson volunteers have supported UN agencies with some 40 relief efforts in over 30 countries.
