Let us know if this data was useful to you
Ericsson AB, headquartered in Sweden (SE), currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ), which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, Ericsson AB is aligned with various climate initiatives cascaded from its parent organisation. These include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the Race to Zero campaign, all sourced from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ). However, no specific reduction targets or achievements have been detailed in the available information. Ericsson AB's climate strategy appears to be integrated within the broader framework of its parent company, which is actively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint and addressing climate change. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that further transparency may be needed to fully assess Ericsson AB's environmental impact and commitments.
