Nokia Siemens Networks provides technical expertise in the restoration of
telecommunications, which is critical in the coordination of disaster relief efforts.
•Environment. As part of Nokia Siemens Networks’ commitment to the environment, the
company has supported various activities and local-level projects to raise awareness about
the role the ICT (information and communications technology) sector can play in supporting
environmental goals.
During 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks continued to support programs in these areas through
corporate donations and partnerships with reputable local or global charities such as Save the Children
and WWF.
Nokia Siemens Networks encourages employees to get involved by volunteering their time and
expertise. Many of them also volunteer to support a wide range of local programs that aim to connect
the disadvantaged in their communities.
In 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks continued its collaboration with Professor Leonard Waverman from
the London Business School and economic consulting firm LECG, to produce the “Connectivity
Scorecard”. The Connectivity Scorecard ranks economies around the world in terms of “useful
connectivity”: to what extent are governments, businesses and consumers making use of ICT to
enhance a country’s social and economic prosperity.
Nokia Siemens Networks values. To enrich its culture, Nokia Siemens Networks has five values: focus
on customer, communicate openly, innovate, inspire and win together. Every employee of Nokia
Siemens Networks is responsible for adopting these principles and using them to guide their actions
and behavior. The values serve as the cultural cornerstones of the company.
Diversity and inclusion. At December 31, 2011, 12% of senior management positions within Nokia
Siemens Networks were held by women, while 54% of senior management positions were held by
people of non-Finnish or non-German nationality. Senior management positions are defined in the
same way at Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks. During 2011, the rate of voluntary attrition–that is,
the percentage of the workforce leaving the company voluntarily–was 10% at Nokia Siemens
Networks.
Training and development. During 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks spent around EUR 54 million on
training for employees. This equates to approximately EUR 815 per employee.
Labor conditions. At December 31, 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks had 2 244 employees working
directly in production, including manufacturing, packaging and shipping, at its manufacturing facilities.
Nokia Siemens Networks also employed over 10 000 people in operative tasks such as
telecommunications infrastructure installation and field maintenance activities.
Nokia Siemens Networks’ Global Labor Standard, based on International Labor Organization
conventions and a standardized Industry Code of Conduct, and benchmarked against international
labor laws and standards, is integrated into Nokia Siemens Networks’ global employment policies and
guidelines. The standard is aimed at ensuring decent working conditions at Nokia Siemens Networks’
operations worldwide, and is supported by risk assessment processes relating to labor conditions and
human rights.
Nokia Siemens Networks Code of Conduct. Nokia Siemens Networks launched an updated ethical
business training program in October 2011, mandatory to all employees. By the end of 2011, 90% of
employees had completed the training.
