Technology for Good - 2011 Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report

Ericsson publishes a Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility report annually. The Group reporting is assured by a third party and has been since the year 2006.

The Ericsson Group sustainability and corporate responsibility reporting 2011 is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.0 guidelines. The reporting has achieved an A+ application level, which means the reporting has been externally assured, and application level checked by a third party, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

This report, together with additional information available online, summarizes our 2011 sustainability and corporate responsibility (CR) performance. For Sony Ericsson, sustainability is about the ‘‘triple bottom line” – long-term social equity, economic prosperity and environmental performance. Corporate responsibility is about maintaining the necessary controls to minimize risks, while creating positive business impacts for its stakeholders and its brand, by linking its products, services and solutions to an overall business goal of sustainable growth. A sustainable and responsible approach results in value creation for the company, its employees, its customers, its shareholders and society as a whole. Unless otherwise stated, all information
and data pertains to activities undertaken from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. This report covers the Ericsson Group, i.e. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and its subsidiaries, and provides performance highlights from our joint ventures Sony Ericsson and ST-Ericsson. The Ericsson Annual Report 2011 provides information on Ericsson’s structure, nature of ownership and legal form, subsidiaries, as well as changes regarding size, structure, financial performance and ownership during 2011. The Sustainability and CR Report is published as a PDF together with more comprehensive online information, which allows readers to explore topics more in depth.
