Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at Nokia production sites are ISO 14001 compliant. Taking guidance from this international standard, Nokia has additionally implemented internally verified environmental management systems at all its main office and R&D facilities. Environmental management system is used for controlling and improving our own environmental performance, focusing on:

Energy consumption

Half of the energy consumed at Nokia facilities is used for maintaining indoor air conditions for production processes and work spaces. Several energy-saving campaigns in different regions have been conducted in Nokia offices. We are currently creating an energy metering system which will ensure targeted levels continuously. Our aim is to reduce energy consumption by 3-5% annually in office and research and development facilities until we have utilized full saving potential.

Water consumption

Water at Nokia facilities is mainly used for sanitary and catering purposes, with only small volumes used in the production processes, such as for cooling systems.

Air emissions

Direct CO2 emissions from Nokia facilities into the air are insignificant in comparison to the CO2 emissions from the production of energy used at our facilities. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) arise from the use of solvents in the soldering process; these emissions have been reduced, however, and are low.

Ozone-depleting substances

They include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - which can be used as refrigerants, solvents, and aerosol propellants - and halons, which are used primarily as firefighting agents. ODS are not used in our products or production. The reported ODS figures are due to ODS contained in cooling systems in facilities.

Waste management

Our goal is to reduce all waste fractions to a minimum, especially those destined to end up untreated in landfills. 83% of our solid waste is either reused as such, recyled for materials or used as a source of energy. Increased re-use and recycling of packaging has significantly reduced the volume of waste at production sites.

Packaging

Nokia consistently works to reduce the volume of packaging and substitute more reusable and recyclable materials. This applies for our suppliers as well. The share of cardboard in mobile device packaging is 96 percent measured by weight.
