自2019年12月以来,爱立信一直与美国司法部(DOJ)延期起诉协议(DPA),以解决美国刑事外国腐败惯例法(FCPA)指控(FCPA)指控,并与证券交易委员会(SEC)作出同意判决解决相关的民事主张。2021年10月21日,爱立信收到了司法部的信件,指出该公司的决心,该公司因未能提供某些文件和事实信息而违反了DPA下的义务。目前,我们无法提供有关司法部确定的进一步详细信息,也无法预测该问题解决的结果。爱立信采取了措施,以避免对导致违反决心的问题的复发,并致力于与司法部及其独立合规监视器公开合作,并符合DPA中规定的所有条款。

Cultural Transformation
爱立信continued to strengthen and enhance its Ethics and Compliance (E&C) Program in 2021 with a focus on the global cultural transformation to ingrain ethical, responsible and sustainable business practices everywhere the Company operates. One cornerstone of that transformation is Ericsson’s new value of integrity, added in 2021. Concurrently, Ericsson launched a company-wide E&C strategy which focuses on ensuring that integrity is embedded into Ericsson’s culture and ways of working to foster accountability, build trust and respect with customers, business partners and regulators, and drive sustainable success. The Company empowers its employees and business partners to take part in the transformation by providing them with tools and information to make fact-based, integrity-driven decisions.

更新的商业道德守则
爱立信于2021年启动的新修订的商业道德守则(COBE)概述了该公司的基本道德原则和期望。它反映了公司致力于以诚信开展业务的承诺,这与所有国际认可的人权原则以及爱立信开展业务的适用法律和法规一致。Cobe适用于所有为爱立信(包括董事会和总统兼首席执行官)进行工作的个人,并已翻译成43种语言,以确保所有人都理解了它。该公司会定期审查和更新,并经常运行确认流程,包括2021年期间,以确保每个为爱立信执行工作的人都阅读和理解了它。

Policies and Procedures
In addition to launching COBE, Ericsson has also been working towards enhancing and simplifying its E&C-related policies, procedures and processes to provide clarity, improve their user-friendliness and to set up adequate controls for high-risk transactions. Relevant examples include the new revision of the Gifts, Entertainment and Hospitality (GEH) Group Instruction and the global roll-out of the enhanced Third-Party Management (TPM) Program to identify and mitigate corruptionand integrity-related risk in connection with third party relationships (see page 26 on Responsible management of suppliers). Ericsson also launched guidance embedding E&C into the mergers and acquisitions process, ensuring adequate oversight of strategic transactions and the Company’s portfolio of non-wholly owned companies.

培训和沟通
爱立信已经开发了有关E&C相关主题的引人入胜的沟通和培训,以促进员工和第三方以诚信为导向的行为。该公司启动了“将我们的价值观付诸实践 - E&C为爱立信领导者的指南”,其中包括使所有领导者都能承担其E&C职责的资源。值得注意的新培训包括针对高级管理人员的讲师主导的讲习班,以及以正直和解决道德困境领导的中间管理以及针对高度裸露角色的线路经理和员工的有针对性的反贿赂和 - 腐败(ABC)电子学习。除了这些特定的培训外,所有员工还必须接受强制性的在线ABC培训,该培训经常被刷新。还可以为员工提供更多裸露职位的员工,以确保他们能够面临其职位固有的合规风险。培训是与腐败风险更高的某些第三方签约的强制性条件。

Risk Assessment
爱立信继续开发其合规风险评估流程,该过程用于识别和管理合规风险并评估E&C计划的有效性。在2021年,爱立信完成了其每个市场领域中某些单元的风险评估,还包括某些高风险地理位置的交易测试。风险评估确定了需要进一步关注的几个风险领域,例如员工与外部供应商之间潜在利益冲突的风险增加,需要继续关注的需要以及与公职互动有关的指导以及进一步改善第三方管理。

Allegation Management and Investigations
爱立信推出了新的转向和指导文件,以及新的演讲报告工具和案例管理系统。新系统管理端到端的指控和调查过程,并促进及时,一致的纪律和补救措施,从而促进对不合规和不道德行为的问责制。

Reward and Sanctioning
The Company’s willingness to instill a change of culture is reflected in its performance assessment structure, which includes a new Integrity goal for all employees and new ethics and compliance targets that impact the Short Term Variable compensation of executives. Ericsson addresses breaches of COBE by way of consequence management for employees and for third parties as well as process and control enhancements (see page 18 for overview of disciplinary actions).

Digitalization, Monitoring, and Controls
Digitalization has also been at the core of Ericsson’s E&C-related improvements in 2021. An E&C Portal has been deployed to facilitate controls by the Compliance Office around highrisk transactions, including benefits provided to third parties, particularly public officials. The newly-launched allegation case management system enables enhanced analytics of compliance-related incidents.

In addition, Ericsson has launched an integrated E&C reporting and analytics application to support overall program deployment, monitoring and testing. Central to those monitoring and testing efforts is the design and deployment of the Anti-corruption Internal Control System over core anti-corruptionrelated processes, such as GEH, TPM, and hiring, which progressed during 2021 and will continue in 2022.

公司在2021年期间采取的所有行动都为实现其实施成熟的E&C计划的三年策略做出了贡献,在该计划中,诚信,道德和合规性不仅会反映在核心公司价值观中,而且还会在其核心价值中反映日常业务运营以及整个组织的理解和充分所有权。爱立信正在不断更新其未来的E&C运营计划,以确保E&C计划在未来几年的有效性和可持续性。金博宝怎么注册
