2. The
carbon footprint
of an average ICT
user is estimated to
decrease 20%
between 2007
and 2020…
…so we are
designing
products and
solutions to
make this
happen…
We are reducing our
environmental impact
throughout our value chain.
Ericsson’s Psi Ψ 3G coverage
solution reduces power
consumption by up to 40%
The Antenna-Integrated Radio
(AIR) cuts energy consumption
by 40%
By 2017, 85% of the world’s
population will have access to
mobile-broadband coverage
via 3G networks
Ericsson increased its video
conference rooms globally by
60% in 2012, contributing to
the reduction of CO2e
emissions per employee
34% of our global
facilities use certified
green electricity
and 74% at measured
European facilities
…and reducing
carbon emissions
in our own
operations.

3. enabling a
low-carbon
economy
The ICT sector contributes
about 2% of global CO2e
emissions, but can help
eliminate a significant portion
of the remaining 98% from
other industries.
ICT solutions
will enable the
low-carbon
economy
of the future…
…and will transform
industries and
cities.
By 2050, 70% of
the global population
will reside in an urban
area or city.
