Nokia's environmental targets go beyond mere legal compliance. We achieve these targets through an environmental strategy based on global standards, processes and practices, relating both to our products and services and also to our management of facilities and production sites.

Nokia's environmental activities are based on life cycle thinking. The goal is to reduce the environmental impact of our products, services and operations throughout the whole product life cycle. Environmental considerations are incorporated into our product development, processes and service design, our own operations and managing our supplier network. This includes minimizing use of energy and supporting sound take-back and recycling of materials and used products.

Nokia does not use endangered species for any business purpose, and furthermore insists that its suppliers avoid raw material procurement from an origin where there is animal rights abuse or a potential negative impact on the environment which is not being addressed properly.
