GLOBAL – Sustainability is at the heart of all Nokia does, and that’s because we’re delighted to be ranked rarely again in multiform sustainability rankings this year.
More than a single billion people operate Nokia phones – so we have a singular opportunity not only to urge the environmental performance, though additionally assistance them to reduce their own environmental footprint. For example, WWF Eco Guru from the Nokia Store helps we magnitude the environmental goods of your lifestyle.
At Nokia we don’t pattern one-off ‘green phones’ or gimmicks. We take sustainability into comment in each theatre of operations, and in each product we make, starting from the preference of materials and finale with a world-class recycling program.
All materials in the phones can be used again to have latest products or generate energy, so zero goes to waste. We have implemented appetite saving facilities and unplug horse reminders in the phones. Also, the locally stored module – similar to Nokia Maps – reduces appetite consumption, battery hold up and cost. Our compress packaging means reduction paper and fewer trucks on the road.
Maintaining sustainability as a core joining equates to which authorised mandate are a minimum, not a maximum, customary at Nokia.
We don’t often speak about the great things alternative people contend about the work in sustainability – though for the past years, Nokia has been amongst the leading companies in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes review. We were additionally ranked the 4th many tolerable publicly traded association in 2011 by Forbes Magazine.
Yesterday, the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics ranked us in the tip three overall and as initial for mobile device manufacturers. We had been ranked #1 for ten uninterrupted times before. This time the ranking was reduce especially due to the newly introduced appetite criteria and the tiny series of inclination done of recycled plastics. We unsuccessful to give specific examples of purify appetite process advocacy, though as a company, we do not engage ourselves in such domestic activities. Regarding the use of recycled plastics, we have been operative on anticipating ways to strike peculiarity issues. We were rewarded in sold for the product appetite potency and the far-reaching take-back program.
Moving onto rankings directed often at investors, we were came series 2 (out of 20) in the Two Tomorrows’ rating in the Information and Communications Technology category. The ranking uncovers the extent to which the companies widely recognized as sustainability leaders deserve their place inside of the heading sustainability rankings.
None of which equates to we’re lazy on the laurels. We only longed for to discuss it we that we’ve been dedicated to environment the top environmental standards for some-more than a decade, and we’re still committed to mending the opening even further.
We wish have the many tolerable choices, and we goal which we will too.
