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 so 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

In 2020, Ericsson’s Conflict Minerals Program was extended to cover cobalt. In 2023, mica was added. Ericsson gathers materials information from our suppliers. Through this process, we know that many of the components used in our products contain small amounts of tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold (“3TG”), cobalt and mica that are necessary to the functionality of those products. This Report only addresses the SEC’s requirements under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which is limited to 3TG. For more information regarding our broader supply chain and how risks are managed, please see Ericsson’s website for responsible sourcing.

 

1


Exhibit 1.01 Conflict Minerals Report

 

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 the sourcing of materials from the DRC or adjoining countries or avoid using 3TG since Ericsson believes that such a ban could result in negative consequences for responsible mining companies, their workers and the most vulnerable groups in 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.

Under Ericsson’s Code of Conduct for Business Partners, 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.

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 3TG (the “OECD Guidance”). Furthermore, suppliers are required to comply with the requirements of the Ericsson Lists of Banned and Restricted Substances and the Ericsson Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which include an obligation to have appropriate due diligence processes in place to identify the source and chain of custody of raw materials including 3TG. Our first-tier suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.

The identification of our first-tier suppliers that are within the scope of the Rule involves different parts of Ericsson’s global organization, with our sourcing organization leading and coordinating this work. Suppliers identified to be in scope are our first-tier suppliers supplying (i) products containing 3TG that Ericsson contracts to manufacture, (ii) materials, parts, components and other products, containing 3TG, which 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”) or 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. Responses are analyzed and checked for quality. In case of incomplete or unsatisfactory answers, we take necessary steps to obtain complete information before our reporting deadline. In cases where lack of response was due to lack of awareness, suppliers were provided with assistance on how to identify the required information. An additional FAQ has also been developed to support the survey process and lessons learned are fed back into our cycle of continuous improvement.

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 RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”).

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’s Modern Slavery Statement, which includes more information about our due diligence in relation to forced labor and child labor, can be accessed on Ericsson’s website. Ericsson is currently engaged in industry dialogues via the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) and RMI in relation 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, and the Ericsson Lists of Banned and Restricted Substances, which include supplier requirements to have diligence processes in place to identify the source and chain of custody of raw materials including 3TG, and are integrated in our template supplier agreements.

In 2023, the 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 v.6.31 and the Extended Minerals Reporting Template v.1.2 (the “Templates”). The Templates are standardized supply chain surveys designed to gather information regarding the smelters and refiners that process 3TG 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 Ericsson’s Code of Conduct for Business Partners, 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 expected to report concerns related to corruption, fraud, accounting, internal controls, discrimination and harassment, human rights or other matters that could constitute a breach of law, or that could harm the business or reputation of Ericsson, its employees and shareholders, directly to their manager, the superior of a manager or to the People or Legal and Compliance departments. In addition, Ericsson provides employees and external stakeholders a dedicated communication channel for reporting compliance concerns – the Ericsson Compliance Line. The Ericsson Compliance Line is operated by a third party and is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year. Employees and external stakeholders are encouraged to report conduct that could violate the law or Ericsson’s policies including the Code of Business Ethics or the Ericsson Code of Conduct for Business Partners. In addition to the Compliance Line, Ericsson is further exploring additional reporting mechanisms for identifying issues related to sourcing of 3TG.

Exhibit 1.01 Conflict Minerals Report

 

Ericsson has published a “Statement on sourcing of minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” on its website that indicates Ericsson’s position and expected supplier activities in this area.

 

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 2023 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 Templates. Suppliers were provided with the Templates and support material, including instructions and training illustrating the use of the tool that is available on RMI’s website. 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 Templates’ formats to the required version) and increase the response rate (reminding supplier to provide information in the templates 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 its Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report, published together with the Annual Report.

We continuously work to improve our due diligence with respect to 3TG, primarily 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 on supplier responses and generally prioritize following up with 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 RBA membership, we are also members of the RMI, supporting the RMAP as well as the development and implementation of due diligence practices and tools such as the Templates. 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.

Exhibit 1.01 Conflict Minerals Report

 

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.

In accordance with the Rule, we make our Conflict Minerals Report available on our website: https://www.ericsson.com/en/investors/financial-reports/sec-filings.

2023 due diligence result

For the calendar year 2023, our inquiries were made on Tier 1 supplier level, and most supplier responses received also provided data at a company or divisional level, with only a few exceptions providing 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.

Ericsson plans to continue to engage with new suppliers that did not respond to increase response rates. Among the supplier responses, we identified 351 smelters as potential sources of 3TG that were reported to be in the supply chain during the 2023 calendar year. The following table presents, by mineral, the number 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 to phase-out non-conformant smelters and refiners or to encourage smelters to participate in RMAP.

Outreach Required: outreach needed by RMI member companies to contact entity and encourage their participation to undergo an RMI assessment.

RMI Due Diligence Review – Unable to Proceed: facilities that have not met the threshold for Due Diligence Vetting Process after a period of six months. Status may change if additional information is submitted.

Not Applicable: not eligible for an RMI assessment

Not Eligible: entity cannot undergo an RMI assessment; not included in Eligible Facility List

Our knowledge of identified smelters or refiners in our supply chain is limited to the information provided by our suppliers. However, based on the information provided by Ericsson’s suppliers during the 2023 calendar year, Ericsson believes that the facilities that may have been used to process 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 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 for 3TG 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 3TG in our supply chain.

During 2024, 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.
