Ericsson´scarbonfootprint
Our Science Based Target (SBTi):
- By 2022 reduce our own footprint by 35%
- By 2022 reduce the energy consumption of our portfolio by 35%
(compared to a 2016 baseline)

— The ICT sector represents 1,4% of global GHG emission (full life cycle)
— ICT uses 3,6% of global electricity consumption (operation)

TheenablementeffectofICT
• ICT as the wildcard of
decarbonization
• Can enable 1/3 of the
first halving with
current technologies
• Influences the decisions
of 3 billion producers
and consumers every
day.
• AI, cloud computing,
internet of things,
etc…additional
potential to be explored
