This report, together with additional information available online, summarizes our 2011 sustainability and corporate responsibility (CR) performance. For Sony Ericsson, sustainability is about the ‘‘triple bottom line” – long-term social equity, economic prosperity and environmental performance. Corporate responsibility is about maintaining the necessary controls to minimize risks, while creating positive business impacts for its stakeholders and its brand, by linking its products, services and solutions to an overall business goal of sustainable growth. A sustainable and responsible approach results in value creation for the company, its employees, its customers, its shareholders and society as a whole. Unless otherwise stated, all information
