Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson

Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2019

This Conflict Minerals Report of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson for the year ended December 31, 2019 is provided pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to implement disclosure and reporting requirements pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. As permitted by the Rule and the SEC, this report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

 

1.

Introduction

Ericsson is a global provider of hardware, software and services – especially in networks, digital services, managed services and new businesses – to the telecom industry and other sectors to enable the full value of connectivity. This report has been prepared by the management of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (herein referred to as “Ericsson”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This report does not include the activities of entities that are not required to be consolidated in our financial statements. In accordance with the Rule, this report is available on our website: http://www.ericsson.com/thecompany/investors/financial-reports.

Supply Chain Description and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

2.1

General information on Ericsson’s supply chain

Ericsson’s hardware largely consists of electronics. For manufacturing, the Company purchases customized and standardized components and services from both global, regional and local suppliers. The production of electronic modules and sub-assemblies is mostly outsourced to manufacturing services companies. Ericsson is focusing internal manufacturing on new product introductions and new technologies.

There are often several tiers of suppliers between Ericsson and any smelters or refiners of minerals; even more when tracing a mineral all the way back to the mines. As a result, the Company does not normally have a direct purchasing relationship with mines, smelters or refiners.

 

2.2

Overview of Ericsson’s Conflict Minerals Program and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

Ericsson gathers materials information from our suppliers. Through this we know that many of the components used on our products contain small amounts of 3TG that are necessary to the functionality of those products.

As part of Ericsson’s commitment to responsible sourcing and human rights it is our goal that the 3TG in our products should not, directly or indirectly, finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”), or adjoining countries. At the same time, we aim to continue supporting responsible mineral sourcing in the region. Ericsson’s efforts with respect to 3TG are aligned with the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and our aim is to improve traceability in our supply chain. Ericsson does not prohibit sourcing of materials from the DRC or adjoining countries or avoid using 3TGs since Ericsson believes that such a ban could result in negative consequences for responsible mining companies, their workers and the most vulnerable groups in a society. The Company has a Conflict Minerals Program to fulfill compliance with the Rule, including performing the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and reporting on 3TG.

Ericsson relies on its first-tier suppliers to provide information on the origin of 3TG contained in components and parts included in Ericsson’s products. This includes sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from sub-suppliers. Ericsson’s first-tier suppliers are required to comply with the requirements in Ericsson’s Code of Conduct for Business Partners which requires due diligence to be exercised with respect to the sourcing and extraction of raw materials, including 3TG.

 

1


Ericsson´s suppliers’ due diligence shall be consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). Furthermore, suppliers are required to comply with the requirements of the Ericsson Lists of Banned and Restricted Substances, which include an obligation to provide information on 3TG upon request and to have appropriate due diligence processes in place to identify the source and chain of custody of 3TG. Our first-tier suppliers are similarly to Ericsson reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.

The identification of first-tier suppliers of Ericsson that are in scope under the Rule involves different parts of Ericsson’s global organization. The sourcing organization has an important role in leading and coordinating the work. Suppliers identified to be in scope are first-tier suppliers of Ericsson supplying (i) products containing 3TG that Ericsson contracts to manufacture, (ii) materials, parts, components and other products, containing 3TG, that are incorporated into or included in a product manufactured by Ericsson, or (iii) materials used in the production of Ericsson’s products where 3TG becomes part of the final product. Suppliers of products that Ericsson does not contract to manufacture (i.e. products purchased “off-the shelf”) and not included in or incorporated into an Ericsson product have been considered out of scope for purposes of the Rule. In our annual inquiry we survey first-tier suppliers identified to be in scope and analyze and follow up on the responses as we deem appropriate.

Ericsson believes that industry cooperation is one of the best ways to address issues related to 3TG in an efficient and transparent way. We typically do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, and we do not perform direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. In accordance with the OECD Guidance, we support the RMI’s audit of smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities mainly via the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP).

 

3.

Due Diligence

Ericsson has a process in place for the purpose of exercising due diligence in the supply chain. The design of the due diligence processes conforms to the OECD Guidance as it relates to “downstream” purchasers of products and components. The due diligence processes have been described below under sub-headings corresponding to the five-step framework of the OECD Guidance. Ericsson’s Conflict Minerals Program focuses on identifying the origin of 3TG; however, Ericsson acknowledges that other human rights and environmental risks, such as forced labor and child labor, health and safety, land-related rights and community rights are also salient relating to sourcing of 3TG. Ericsson is currently engaged in industry dialogues relating to these issues.

 

3.1

Maintain strong management systems

The first step of the OECD Guidance relates to strong management systems. As mentioned above, Ericsson has established a Conflict Minerals Program for reporting on 3TG and compliance with the Rule. Controls include, but are not limited to, our Code of Business Ethics and Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which outline required behaviors for all Ericsson’s employees and suppliers (https://www.ericsson.com/en/about-us/
sustainability-and-corporate-responsibility/responsible-business/responsible-sourcing/supplier-requirements-related-to-responsible-sourcing
), and the Ericsson Lists of Banned and Restricted Substances, which include supplier requirements relating to 3TG as described above and are integrated in our template supplier agreements.

With respect to 2019, identification of smelters and refiners in our supply chain was made via the use of due diligence tools created by the RMI, including the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template 5.12 (the “Template”). The Template is a standardized supply chain survey designed to gather information

 

2


regarding the smelters and refiners that process 3TGs used in our supply chain. The information from our suppliers, in combination with information from the RMI, helps Ericsson to obtain information on the origin of minerals processed. Data obtained was reviewed, analyzed and retained by Ericsson.

In 2019 Ericsson issued an updated Code of Conduct for Business Partners where the topic of responsible sourcing of raw materials is included with clear requirements of suppliers to exercise due diligence in accordance with the OECD Guidance. Employees are encouraged to report violations of laws or the Code of Business Ethics to their manager or a manager of higher rank. In addition, Ericsson has a whistle-blower tool, Ericsson Compliance Line, managed by an external service provider, for the reporting of alleged violations of laws or the Code of Business Ethics that (i) are conducted by Group or local management, and (ii) relate to corruption, questionable accounting, deficiencies in the internal control of accounting or auditing matters or otherwise seriously affect vital interests of the Group or personal health and safety. Ericsson Compliance Line is available for both Ericsson employees and external stakeholders such as customers and suppliers. Ericsson recognizes that Ericsson Compliance Line might not be the most effective way of capturing issues related to sourcing of 3TG and intends to explore other mechanisms that may be more effective, like the Minerals Grievance Platform managed by RMI.

 

3.2

Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

In the second step of the OECD Guidance, risks are identified and assessed. For downstream companies such as Ericsson, the focus should be on the smelters and refiners. Downstream companies should, with help from their first-tier suppliers, identify smelters and refiners in the supply chain.

In Ericsson’s 2019 Conflict Minerals’ survey, first-tier suppliers identified to be in scope were requested by Ericsson to provide information on 3TG in their supply chain through completing and submitting the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. Suppliers were provided with support material, including the available instructions and training illustrating the use of the tool that is available on RMI’s website. To ensure quality, a high response rate and to minimize risks, the responses were analyzed and followed up as deemed appropriate. Data obtained was saved, reviewed and analyzed by Ericsson. Supplier responses were reviewed against criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement with our suppliers. In certain circumstances suppliers were contacted via e-mail or telephone to improve the quality of responses (obtaining missing information, updating CMRT format to the required version) and increase the response rate (reminding supplier to provide CMRT with extended deadlines).

 

3.3

Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

Under the third step of the OECD Guidance, companies are encouraged to design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks. Due diligence within Ericsson is an ongoing process. Ericsson publishes additional information about its commitment to responsible sourcing and engagement with its suppliers in the Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report, published together with the Annual Report.

We continuously work to improve our due diligence with respect to 3TG, mainly focusing on the quality of data from suppliers surveyed. This includes communication and collaboration with suppliers for purposes of improving the response rate of surveyed suppliers and improving the reliability and quality of the information provided. As described above, we have a risk-based approach when reviewing and following up supplier responses and generally prioritize to follow up suppliers that are awarded large parts of our business. For example, if a supplier reports non-conformant smelters or refiners, the relevant sourcing responsible manager is notified for purposes of initiating a discussion with the supplier.

3.4

Independent third-party audit of smelters’/refiners’ due diligence practices

The fourth step of the OECD Guidance focuses on audits of smelters’/refiners’ due diligence practices. Through our Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) membership we are also members of the RMI, supporting the responsible minerals assurance process (“RMAP”) as well as the development and implementation of due diligence practices and tools such as the Template. Due to the structure of our supply chain, there are generally many tiers of suppliers between Ericsson and the smelters and refiners in the supply chain. Therefore, we have, as mentioned in section 2.2, not performed our own audits of smelters or refiners.

 

3.5

Report annually on supply chain due diligence

The fifth step of the OECD Guidance encourages reporting on supply chain due diligence. We have a public statement on sourcing of minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas including 3TG; which is available on our website:

https://www.ericsson.com/assets/local/about-ericsson/sustainability-and-corporate-responsibility/documents/statement-on-sourcing-of-conflict-minerals.pdf

In accordance with the Rule, we make our Conflict Minerals Report available on our website:

http://www.ericsson.com/thecompany/investors/financial-reports.

2019 due diligence results

For the calendar year 2019, our inquiries were made on supplier level and the majority of supplier responses received provided data at a company or divisional level with only few exceptions, that provided product level information. Our inquiries include responses where we believe that the names of smelters or refiners may have been misidentified as smelters and refiners or smelters or refiners that we believe are not operational. Such names have not been listed among identified smelters and refiners.

The response rate among suppliers surveyed in 2019 was 80%. This response rate includes suppliers to the Kathrein antenna and filter business that was acquired by Ericsson in October 2019. Among the supplier responses, we identified 338 smelters as potential sources of 3TG that were reported to be in the supply chain during the 2019 calendar year. The following table presents, by mineral, the percentages of identified smelters or refiners verified as conflict-free by the RMAP or mutually recognized audit systems. In case a supplier has identified non-conformant smelters in their supply chain Ericsson engages with such suppliers for them to phase-out such non-conformant smelters and refiner.

In the process of being audited or in communication but have not commenced the validation audit. (indicated as “active” or “in communication” in Annex 1)

**

Have not commenced the RMAP validation audit (indicated as “Outreach Required “, “Due Diligence Vetting Process”, “Communication Suspended - Not Interested” and “RMI Due Diligence Review - Unable to Proceed” in Annex 1)

We are unable to validate that any of the identified smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain. However, based on the information provided by Ericsson’s suppliers during the 2019 calendar year, Ericsson believes that the facilities that may have been used to process the 3TG in Ericsson’s products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex 1 below. Ericsson does not have enough information to determine with specificity all countries of origin of the 3TG in our products or whether they are from recycled and scrap sources. Nevertheless, based on data from RMI and RMAP, Ericsson generated a list of Reasonable Country of Origin (RCOI) for 3TGs based on smelters and refiners identified as shown in Annex 2

We support the refinement and expansion of the list of participating smelters and have determined that seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.

During 2020, we anticipate continuing to review and evolve our Conflict Minerals due diligence processes with respect to 3TG. As part of these efforts, we expect to continue to collaborate with suppliers to maintain a high supplier response rate and improve the reliability and quality of information provided. Our engagement in the RMI program is anticipated to continue.
