We believe collaboration with others can be the most effective way to approach certain issues. Nokia works in collaboration with other companies on key issues through a number of industry organizations. Examples include:

• The Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC): The EICC collaborates with the GeSI Supply Chain Working Group on a number of different supply chain activities.
• The Global Compact Nordic Network: We participated in the work of the UN Global Compact through its Nordic Network, sharing best practices and supporting development in the Nordic region.
• The Global eSustainability Initiative (GeSI): Nokia became a full member of GeSI in 2007. We continued to actively participate in the GeSI Supply Chain Working Group. Through this, we took part in a multi-stakeholder project to improve labor, health and safety, and environmental conditions in the ICT supply chain in China. The report on this project was published in July 2007.
