Making change happen together

We can make a much bigger impact through cooperation and collaboration with others. We have to work together with a broad range of stakeholders to make sustainable change. The secret to achieving a more sustainable world may well lie in the shared value we can create together. 

Highlights in 2017

Our commitments, targets and performance

To achieve our sustainability goals we collaborate closely with customers, suppliers, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), authorities, governments, industry peers, and other associations, not only working with them in achieving their sustainability goals, but also driving sustainability development through our products, solutions and business. Technology and its positive impact is a key enabler of sustainable development. 

In 2017, we remained a member of the United Nations Global Compact, Global e-Sustainability Initiative, CDP supply chain program, Global Network Initiative, Climate Leadership Council, Digital Europe, Responsible Mineral Initiative (formerly Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative), GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter and several standardization and university cooperation groups. We have further structured engagement with the World Economic Forum, the Broadband Commission, and ITU Telecom World, amongst others.
