SUSTAINABILITY AT NOKIA
At Nokia, we integrate responsible environmental and social
practices into everything we do. We strive to create value for
people and the planet, as well as for Nokia as a company. The
basic principles of our sustainability work are: Valuing people
in everything we do; Being Green and Clean, Unleashing the
potential of technology for good; Making change happen
together.
We go to great lengths to implement sustainable and ethi-
cal working practices in our own operations, and we expect
the same from our suppliers. We have long fostered diversity,
equality and respect for human rights and dignity. We do not
tolerate corruption of any kind, whether internal to Nokia or in
our business relationships. In addition, we enhance the health,
safety and wellbeing of our workforce.
Our environmental work focuses on minimizing the poten-
tial negative impact, and is based on global principles and
standards that we integrate in our business activities. We
improve our offi ces, factories, logistical operations and use
of technologies in ways that save energy and reduce emis-
sions. In addition, we continuously improve the environmental
credentials of all our products.
The power of mobility plays a key role in making people’s
lives better, particularly in developing countries. Our technol-
ogies can help develop education and livelihoods. Additionally,
mobile technology, if used in a smart way, can help people
lower their environmental impact.
We believe collaboration with others can often be the most
eff ective way to approach certain sustainability issues. That’s
why we work with various organizations driving sustainable
development and participate in public policy development
initiatives across the world.
Some of the  sustainability highlights include:
■ % of Nokia employees think that “Nokia is socially and
environmentally responsible”. This is an important achieve-
ment for us as our employees are a vital stakeholder group,
and we have a high regard for their feedback on how we run
our business.
■ We continued strengthening our performance in matters of
occupational health and safety (OHS).
■ We used recycled plastics in the product cover for the fi rst
time in the Lumia  Black variant.
■ We were able to maintain the good level of renewable elec-
tricity share in our facilities, %, despite the challenges in
its availability in some areas.
■ Nokia was ranked second within the Communications
Equipment industry in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes
and ninth in Interbrand’s Best Global Green Brands survey.
■ Top ratings in both Performance and Disclosure ratings
in The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Nordic  Climate
Change Report. Ranked second among technology sector
leaders in the FTSE ESG rating.
