Hello, and welcome everybody to today's briefing session for investors and financial analysts on responsible business. My name is Peter Nyquist, and I'm Head of Investor Relations here at Ericsson. With me today, I have Heather Johnsson, Head of Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility; and our acting Chief Compliance Officer, Jan Sprafke.

You will hear from both of them as they give an update and on the latest progress in their respective fields. The session today is a part of our quarterly update series on these topics for the financial community. As many of you know, we used to do run these previously and I’m happy that we are now restarting it. Going forward, our ambition is to continue to give you updates from the full ESG field.

After the presentations, there will be time for some Q&A, and today's briefing is being recorded. With that, I'm happy to hand over the word to Heather Johnsson. So, please Heather go ahead with your presentation.
