Additionally, the company targets a 50% reduction in value chain emissions (Scope 3) by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline. Long-term, Ericsson is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. In terms of specific reduction targets, Ericsson aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% and Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030, relative to a 2020 baseline. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect the company's commitment to sustainable practices in the telecommunications sector.
