Environmental Report 2002 B U S I N E S S G R O U P R E V I E W S NOKIA is committed to carrying out its business in a responsible way. We focus our efforts on all aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility including environmental activities stemming from life-cycle thinking. This means reducing the environmental impact of our products over their entire life cycle. Everyone in the company is involved in this as everyone has an influence on environmental performance. Nokia Mobile Phones Our goal is to be the industry benchmark in environmental performance, integrating environmental thinking into our strategy and operations, and making the environment everybody’s business. Life-cycle thinking covers all the environmentally significant impacts of a product from cradle to grave, and provides the framework for actions and targets. We will continuously improve the material content and energy efficiency, as well as the recyclability of our products. For example, Design for Environment practices in our product development will enable the delivery of products exceeding upcoming EU-requirements before they come into force. We will also continue our efforts in developing sound end-of-life treatment practices and our world-class supply network. 35 A certified Environmental Management System is being applied at every Nokia production site. Our challenge is to reduce the amount of waste and energy consumption in our operations and to involve every Nokia employee. We see the future of mobile phones and the environment as follows: 1. The mobile phone is fast becoming the centerpiece of personal communication, allowing us access to an ever-widening range of services. Today, we are expanding from voice services to services driven by data and multimedia. 2. Mobile phones have fast improved in terms of their environmental performance and this development will continue. This is due, for example, to a decrease in raw materials and improved materials and energy efficiency. More mobile phones will therefore mean less burden for the environment. 3. Correct end-of-life treatment for mobile phones, together with society, is one of our main environmental issues. A mobile phone is valuable even at the end of its life. At Nokia, we have already gained very good experience, for example, in Asia working together with forward-thinking service providers and local governmental organizations. To summarize, we see our role as providing multi- functional, safe and environmentally sound personal communication devices, which are recycled in a proper way. In this way, we can offer consumers in every market the possibility to use new, top-quality mobile communication applications and services with confidence.
