markets. The ratings of Nokia from credit rating agencies have not changed during the year. The

Moody’s P1
Longterm Standard & Poor’s A

Hazard risk
Nokia strives to ensure that all financial, reputation and other losses to the Group and our customers
are minimized through preventive risk management measures or purchase of insurance. Insurance is
purchased for risks, which cannot be internally managed. Nokia’s Insurance & Risk Finance function’s
objective is to ensure that Group’s hazard risks, whether related to physical assets (e.g. buildings) or
intellectual assets (e.g. trademarks, patents) or potential liabilities (e.g. product liability) are
optimally insured.
Nokia purchases both annual insurance policies for specific risks as well as multiline and/or multi
year insurance policies, where available.
