aim to minimize the environmental impact of our products throughout our
operations, beginning with the extraction of raw materials and ending with
recycling, treatment of waste, and recovery of used materials. We achieve this by
better product design, close control of the production processes, and greater
material reuse and recycling

CO2emissions of our products and operations and sets energy and CO2 emission
reduction targets for their most important activities. They updated this strategy
in 2008 and have set ourselves the following targets.

level by 50 percent by the end of 2010
c Continue to study new technologies which will use renewable energy
resources, such as solar panels and kinetic energy
c Nokia·s devices a power-saving standby mode

c In 2009²2010, begin deploying green electricity purchases to those
countries where Nokia operates and where buying green electricity makes
the most impacts on CO2 savings. This will depend on how carbon
intensive the local power generation industry is and where green
electricity purchases are available.

c Create 6% of new energy savings in technical building maintenance


systems between 2007 and 2012 compared to the baseline year 2006, in

The take-back and recycling awareness campaigns aim at driving behavioral
changes amongst consumers and educating mobile phone users about the
importance of recycling. The Indian consumer research findings have revealed
that recycling is not in the consumers· mind space. The first pilot campaign was
launched on 1st of January, 2009 in 4 cities ² Bangalore, Delhi, Gurgaon, and
Ludhiana.

During the pilot, Nokia encouraged mobile phone users to recycle their old
handsets and accessories, regardless of the brand, and promised to plant a tree for
every phone dropped during the campaign period in these cities. As a result, over
3 tons of old phones and accessories were collected in 45 days of the campaign
period from these 4 cities. The lessons from the successful pilot campaign were
considered for development of the second phase campaign which was launched in
September 2000.

There are close to 5000 Nokia recycling points globally, each taking back mobile
devices and accessories. In India, Nokia has laid out a robust recycling
infrastructure across the country with over 1300 recycling bins installed at Nokia
Care Centers, Nokia Priority Dealers and Nokia Concept Stores.

Recycling means company doesn·t need to extract and refine as much material for
new products, saving energy, chemicals and waste. Ê

Nokia has made a donation to the Japanese Red Cross to help Japan. We are also
supporting employee-led fundraising efforts, with the company matching any
donation our employees make to this very worthy cause.
Nokia's approach to dealing with disaster relief projects is to focus first on
immediate disaster relief, and in the longer term to collaborate with local and
state governments, civil societies and NGOs to offer mobile technology for
development assistance and to help support rebuilding efforts. Our approach has
been the same in a number of tragic natural disasters over the last few years,
including the Thailand tsunami in 2004, hurricane Katrina in the United States
in 2005, Sichuan earthquake in China in 2008, and the Haiti earthquake and
Pakistan floods in 2010.
