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.
