Ericsson employees can do one full day of volunteer work or can split up the hours over several occasions and several initiatives. We also offer longer term projects where employees can dedicate several weeks of volunteering, such as Ericsson Response and project engagements like Connect to Learn.
The opportunities to volunteer differ from country to country. At Ericsson we focus on the following five categories:
- humanitarian relief
- education and digital inclusion
- climate and environment protection activities
- diversity and inclusion (D&I)
Diversity and inclusion underpin all the categories
Work is ongoing to expand the volunteer program during 2022 to offer employees a larger choice of inspiring and meaningful opportunities.
What is volunteering
Volunteering is defined as employees using their work time and skills to support an organization or a cause. The activity supports a meaningful employee experience and creates a positive impact in communities and in society.
Volunteering at Ericsson is governed by our Volunteer Framework where we, amongst other things, identify organizations that we support and those we do not.
