Ericsson's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments:

In 2025, Ericsson reported a total of approximately 16.8 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 15.3 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 100.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 16.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The majority of Scope 3 emissions stem from the use of sold products (approximately 15.2 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, Ericsson's total emissions were approximately 18.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 17.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 116.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 18.7 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, the company's total emissions amounted to approximately 31.9 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 27.0 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 136.6 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 31.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Ericsson has set ambitious climate targets, aiming for Net Zero emissions across its value chain by 2040. Furthermore, the company is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions from its own activities by 2030. To support this, Ericsson has set a target to reduce supply chain emissions by 50% by 2030, with a baseline year of 2016. They also aim to reduce emissions by 50% in their portfolio and supply chain by 2030.

The company's targets have been verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Ericsson commits to reducing absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 baseline. Specifically, this includes a commitment to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% and absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 50.0% within the same timeframe. For the long term, Ericsson aims to reduce absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040 from a FY2020 base year.
