Ericsson is on the Global 100 list of the most sustainable large corporations in the world. This list was announced at the Davos World Economic Forum. The Global 100 includes companies from 15 countries encompassing all sectors of the economy that were evaluated according to how effectively they manage environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities, relative to their industry peers.

The United States led the way with 20 Global 100 companies . The United Kingdom followed with 19 and Japan improved by two on its 2008 tally with a total of 15 companies qualifying in 2009. Rounding out the top five countries with the most constituents were France (eight) and Germany (seven), while Canada, Finland, and Sweden each registered five Global 100 constituents. Analysis has shown that belonging to Global 100 list provides a valuable leading indicator of better-managed, more agile, ‘future-proof’ companies. Global 100 list was organized by Corporate Knights Inc., an independent Canadian-based media company and Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, an international investment advisory firm.
