There is a mention of the company working with suppliers to address non-conformities. However, the statement is very vague and does not provide details about the collaboration with suppliers.

 

pp. 6: Ericsson works with a systematic, risk-based approach to respecting human rights; identifying potential human rights risks, addressing such risks to prevent adverse impacts, tracking effectiveness of measures taken and providing or enabling remediation when applicable.

 

When indicators of human rights impacts in Ericsson’s supply chain are identified, the company aims to take prompt action by initiating an investigation and requiring corrective actions as well as remedies when applicable. This includes when non-conformities are identified as we compare suppliers’ standards with our own Code of Conduct. In such cases we identify the specific gaps and work with the suppliers to address them.
