Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2008

From reporting year 2008 onwards, Nokia has decided to incorporate its corporate responsibility reporting within Nokia’s official annual report filed to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States, known as the Form 20F.

This change was made because we felt that corporate responsibility issues are not separate from other key corporate information, such as financial data, and because the data provided in the Form 20F go through a stringent verification and auditing process.

For the first time, selected key corporate responsibility indicators have also been assured by an independent third party, PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy (Nokia's statutory auditor).

For quick reference, this page contains links to the most important sources of corporate responsibility information by Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks:

The Corporate Responsibility report 2008 of Nokia Siemens Networks

We have reported on corporate responsibility since 2002, growing each year in terms of transparency and coverage. Our website now forms the main source of all information relating to CR, navigated by our primary areas of focus; the strategy and management of CR (CR Overview), employees, community and supply chain.

Information regarding the environment can be found in its own section of the Nokia website and also in the 2008 20F Form. This highlights the importance we place on working together to protect our world. Our environmental strategy sees Nokia among the world’s leading companies for all aspects of environmental performance, with these key areas: energy efficiency, managing substances in our products, take-back and recycling, and promoting sustainability through services and software.

For 2008 we have also produced a separate environmental report that is lailable on our website. See the Environmental report 2008 for more information.
