We aim to lead in the reduction of any negative environmental impact. We have a user base of more than one billion people which means that we have a unique opportunity to make an impact that goes beyond our own activities. That’s why we aim to offer people products and solutions that help them make sustainable choices. Also, by closely collaborating with our suppliers, we also hope to improve the environmental performance of our supply chain.
Products with sustainability: life cycle thinking
Our environmental work is based on considering the environment during the entire life cycle of all our products, which begins with the extraction of raw materials for production, and continues with recycling, treatment of waste, and recovery of used materials.
Beyond requirements
Our environmental targets are never driven simply by regulatory compliance – they actually go beyond legal requirements. Environmental issues are everyone’s responsibility at Nokia – they are a part of everything we do.

Water vision and mission
Water is critical and valuable resource, and its availability to future generations has to be assured.
Even though Nokia's operations are not considered as water intensive, water has strategic importance in our supply chain and it is a necessity for communities around us.
We have taken action to ensure Nokia's operations cause a minimal amount of additional burden for the environment.
We support various water conservation projects especially in the water scarce areas.
We work with expert organizations on how to best utilize mobile technology in issues such as water efficiency, awareness rising or improved water management.
We are committed to drive efficient water use in our supply chain. We do this by collaborating with our suppliers to increase awareness, set water reduction targets and support best practices in water management
