The values we agreed upon are an evolution of the previous Nokia values:
• Achieving Together
• Very Human
• Engaging You
• Passion for Innovation
Nokia Siemens Networks values defined
In 2007, Nokia Siemens Networks set out to create a fresh culture for the new company that would
reflect its business objectives and the values of its people. Approximately 10 000 employees joined in
an online discussion to say what they believe matters most to the company. Nokia Siemens Networks
then picked some key topics and invited all its employees to join a 72hour online forum in June 2007
to refine those ideas. Some 250 volunteers then formed working groups to develop Nokia Siemens
Networks values, which are:
• Focus on Customers
• Win Together
• Innovate
• Communicate Openly
• Inspire
Nokia’s devices business Code of Conduct
Efforts at expanding the knowledge among employees of Nokia’s Code of Conduct continued in 2007.
By the end of the year, approximately 98% of Nokia employees had completed the Nokia Code of
Conduct training provided by the company. Information on the Nokia Code of Conduct is available in
19 languages, and we have also introduced a web training tool and online test for employees to
confirm they understand the issues covered in the Nokia Code of Conduct.
Nokia Siemens Networks’ Code of Conduct
In 2007, Nokia Siemens Networks launched its Code of Conduct as part of a broader compliance
program which it is implementing. See “Item 4.B Business Overview—Nokia Siemens Networks—
Compliance Program.”
Labor conditions at Nokia device plants
Following assessments in 2006 of labor conditions at our mobile device manufacturing plants, in
2007 we distributed a new, clearer assessment framework covering the International Labor
Organization’s conventions and other recognized international labor standards. Our aim is that more
straightforward assessments and clearer measurement systems will make it easier for factory
managers to implement changes, and will help to improve communication with external stakeholders.
We also expect that they will make it easier to follow up after an assessment.
Labor conditions at Nokia Siemens Networks infrastructure plants
During 2007, Nokia Siemens Networks continued to review the status of labor conditions at infrastruc
ture plants with a view towards creating companywide guidelines by the end of 2008.
Awards and recognition for Nokia’s devices business
Our mobile device manufacturing plant in Manaus, Brazil was awarded the Quality of Work Environ
ment Award in 2007 by Sesi Amazones, the Brazilian Social Service of Industry program. Our plant in
