Sony Ericsson(wiltelcom)

Good day I rather chose the Sony Ericsson which is one of the branch of Wiltelcom and it is located at 3rd Level Gaisano Mall of Davao. Sony ericsson is a franchising type of company , and the owner is Banana Telecom Inc.
Sony Ericsson- is a joint venture established on October 3, 2001 by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to make mobile phones. The stated reason for this venture is to combine Sony's consumer electronics expertise with Ericsson's technological leadership in the communications sector. Both companies have stopped making their own mobile phones.

Sony Ericsson is considers sustainable development and production to be one of the most important challenges for the future and one that demands immediate action from responsible manufacturers. Sony Ericsson is committed to continuously improving our impact on the environment and society, and striving to follow the holistic approach to business with the triple bottom line thinking* or the three dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental and social aspects of the company. For more information, aims to exceed minimum industrial standards and has taken a leadership position in a number of areas. Our decision to lead the way in phasing out unwanted substances, our efforts to drive energy efficiency and our focus on recycling give us a very strong foundation to strive for a leadership position in the mobile phone industry
