To the Management of Nokia Corporation
We have been engaged by the Management of Nokia Corporation to perform a limited assurance engagement on selected information (hereinafter the “Selected CR information”) in Nokia Corporation’s Corporate Responsibility Information of 2008 for the year ending December 31, 2008, which consists of CR overview and Environmental Report 2008 as disclosed on the Nokia Corporation’s website.
The Selected CR information consists of the following performance indicators in the areas of Environment, HR and Supply Chain. Unless otherwise stated below, the scope of the Selected CR information covers Nokia Group, excluding NAVTEQ Group (hereinafter: Nokia Group).
Management’s Responsibility
The Management of Nokia Corporation is responsible for preparing the Selected CR information in accordance with the Reporting criteria as set out in Nokia Corporation’s reporting guidelines and for facility related direct and indirect energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions in Global Reporting Initiative’s G3 Guidelines.
Practitioner’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Selected CR information based on our work performed. Our assurance report has been made in accordance with the terms of our engagement. We do not accept, or assume responsibility to anyone else, except to Nokia Corporation for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions that we have reached.
We conducted our work in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 ‘Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information’. This Standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance whether any matters come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected CR information has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Reporting criteria.
In a limited assurance engagement the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement, and therefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. The procedures selected depend on the practitioner’s judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Selected CR information. Our work consisted of, amongst others, the following procedures:
Conclusion
Based on our limited assurance engagement, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected CR information has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Reporting criteria. Our assurance report should be read in conjunction with the inherent limitations of accuracy and completeness for corporate responsibility information. This independent assurance report should not be used on its own as a basis for interpreting Nokia Corporation’s performance in relation to its principles of corporate responsibility.
