certified green energy reduced our indirect emissions by 54 100 tons, meaning that our net emissions
were 210 900 tons. Nokia Group as a whole consumed 1 143 GWh energy, causing 535 700 tons of
gross emissions and 421 300 tons of net emissions.
Green energy purchases. We have purchased renewable electricity via certificates and from grid since
2006. Now, our first onsite installations for the generation of renewable energy are in place: fuel cells at
the Sunnyvale property in California in the United States and a small biofuel station at SEZ business
park in Chennai, India. Altogether, in 2011 the share of renewable electricity was 193 GWh, which is
equal to 40%.
Business travel. Since 2008, we have taken a stricter approach to business travel, including putting in
place a new travel policy, running travel awareness campaigns, and improving the availability of
videoconferencing facilities globally.
Our annual CO2 emissions from air travel were reduced by 36% in 2011 from the 2008 base level.
CO2 emissions from air travel were 84 200 tons in 2011, which is 3% more than in 2010. The increase
in travel resulted from organizational change and our partnership with Microsoft. The emissions figure
covers 99% of our air travel and has been calculated with a conservative interpretation of GHG
Protocol emission factors.
Reducing waste. In 2011, we caused a total of 45 900 ton of waste, a 23% reduction compared to
2010. We also managed to continue our decreasing trend of waste ending in landfill, as 91% of waste
was reused or recycled, energy was recovered from 5%, and only 4% went for final disposal that is,
either for landfill or was incinerated without energy recovery.
Water usage. Water is not a significant environmental issue for our own operations. Water is used
mainly for sanitary and catering purposes, and to a smaller extent in gardening and facilities
management, such as cooling towers. Production processes use relatively small amounts of water,
under 1 000 liters per year in each factory. In 2011, we withdrew 1 309 000m3water for use in our
facilities, of which 95% was withdrawn from municipal and 5% from ground water sources. 10% was
recycled. Nokia Group as whole withdrew 2 019 000m3water.

communications technology (ICT)–and the benefits this can bring–and using its technical expertise to
contribute to disaster relief efforts.
In 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks’ support focused on three areas:
•Education related to ICT. Nokia Siemens Networks contributed to ICT education with schools
and universities, and supporting online programs focusing on particular issues such as
promoting safer Internet use for young people.
•Disaster risk reduction and relief. In cooperation with non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), Nokia Siemens Networks strengthens the resilience of communities likely to be
affected and works on finding technological solutions for disaster risk reduction and relief.
