We see ourselves leading the path, treading lightly as we go

The symbiotic relationship that exists between the people and nature is evident everywhere in Finland. This strong respect and appreciation for the environment appears in Finnish food, art, and literature and is a defining aspect of the culture. As a Finnish company, these traditions have permeated into our company culture and work ethic, impacting all aspects of how we do business globally.

Given the expansive growth of mobile communications, it is important for us to minimize our global environmental impact. Through better product design, closer control of production processes, and greater material reuse and recycling, Nokia incorporates environmentally conscious planning into its overall framework. Our aim is to be an environmental leader in environmental performance.

Identification and elimination of risks and strong financial performance, while maintaining and enhancing stakeholder acceptance, are key concerns here at Nokia. Our environmental efforts are linked to all these concerns and stem from an overall mission to make environmental awareness and protection part of our everyday actions.

Our key environmental focuses are:

  • substance management
  • energy efficiency
  • take back and recycling

Our driving principles incorporate lifecycle thinking in everything we do. This ensures minimal environmental impact from start to finish, beginning with the extraction of raw materials and ending with recycling, waste treatment, and the reintroduction of recovered materials into the economic system.

An eco-efficient approach

The seven principles of eco-efficiency defined by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development combined with lifecycle thinking guide the development, production, and delivery of Nokia products and solutions. These seven principles are:

  • minimizing energy intensity
  • minimizing the material intensity of goods and services
  • extending product durability
  • increasing efficiency of processes
  • minimizing toxic dispersion
  • promoting recycling
  • maximizing the use of renewable resources



"Our continuous goal is to set the industry benchmark in environmental performance and seamlessly integrate environmental aspects into our strategic and operative activities. Caring for the environment is everybody's business."
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO Nokia Corporation
