Ericsson’s role in shaping the future
As an industry and society we must work together to ensure a sustainable and connected future, because what we do today sets the foundation for what’s possible tomorrow. Our purpose and vision set out the power of mobile connectivity to deliver positive change, and the focused role that Ericsson will play in shaping that change to create a better world.
Imagine a world where limitless connectivity means limitless possibility
Our purpose
To create connections that make the unimaginable possible
We created the technology that first connected people and will soon connect everything. But our role as a connector and orchestrator also means more – from being a key contributor to the open standards that enable our industry; to providing innovation environments to shape and prove new solutions; to driving global partnerships that scale the impact of technology for positive change.

Our vision
A world where limitless connectivity improves lives, redefines business and pioneers a sustainable future
Improving lives
Connectivity improves lives every day – from using our smartphone to navigate across town, to providing financial services to those without traditional banking. But in the future, it will mean so much more – from democratized access to healthcare and wearables that avoid illness; to connectivity for all schools and experiential learning in virtual worlds; and even the augmentation of human abilities.

Redefining business
Our vision is to empower the completely agile enterprise – able to respond in real-time to new opportunities and changing customer preferences; leveraging fully connected, constantly optimizing value chains; and ultimately realizing the production systems of the future – smarter, asset light and simplified operations where production happens closer to the consumer – collapsing cost and emissions related to logistics and shipping.

From becoming carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030; to developing the new network technology that breaks the energy curve; to powering the digital innovation capable of reducing GHG emissions across industries by at least 15%.
