  14. Environmental Strategy at Nokia

  15. Nokia’s Vision • Nokia sees mobile technology as an enabler that can help create a more sustainable world. Combined with better product design, tighter control of production processes, greater reuse of materials, and proper recycling, mobile communications can help to reduce the use of scarce natural resources and energy. Nokia’s Strategy Covers the whole value chain and is implemented through four key programs – Design for Environment, Supplier Network Management, Environmental Management Systems, and End-of-Life Practices. With the help of these programs we strive to eliminate risks, gain the acceptance of our stakeholders and increase our profits.

  16. Strategy based on: • Mobility: Mobile technology and digital services can often replace the need for travel or transport, and this in turn reduces the greenhouse effect caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Mobile technology can make various transactions easier and enable greater economic and social activity, driving industry growth. • Growth:We strive to handle the short life cycles of mobile phones and the related increase in consumption by operating in a sustainable and responsible manner. We take part in a wide range of cooperative initiatives and global organizations to share knowledge and shape effective environmental policies. At the same time, we strive to reduce material and energy consumption in our own activities. • Quality:Reduction of waste is an environmental goal closely linked with quality - quality of design, sourcing, assembly, and end-of-life practices.

  17. Strategy meaning: • Mobility: making the best out of mobile phones reduction of infrastructure and traveling impacts. • Growth: dealing with increasing consumption of mobiles and their short life spans through eco-efficiency and cooperation • Quality: linking environmental performance to product quality

  18. Top Management Commitment • Personal actions and responsibility • Corporate actions and responsibility

  19. Environmental Policy • Reasons for an environmental policy • Guidelines for an environmental policy • The International Chamber of Commerce Benchmark • Examples

  20. Reasons for Environmental Policy • States the company’s commitment to improve environmental performance to all stakeholders • Creates a base from which all stakeholders can judge performance

  21. Guidelines for an Environmental Policy • Communicate company’s commitment to environmental protection to all stakeholders • Cover all aspects of a company’s activities • Create performance objectives and targets that are reasonable and can be measured • Clear and understandable • Signed by CEO or Managing Director
