Nokia, the world’s mobility expert, is committed to its focus of becoming one of the leading environmentally conscious companies in the communications and Internet industries.

To accomplish environmental leadership means to cut down on environmental footprint. With the growth of wireless communications, the focus on environmental footprint becomes a more significant issue. This is why Nokia strives to lessen the environmental impact of their operations, solutions, and products. In addition, Nokia works hand-in-hand with their suppliers in order to come up with a better environmental performance.
The company’s user base totals to over 900 million people, which gives Nokia a unique opportunity to create an impact that is greater than any of their undertakings. With this, Nokia gives people more sustainable choices when it comes to products and their solutions.
Since the company bases its environmental dealings on life-cycle thinking, one of Nokia’s major objectives is to reduce their products’ environmental impact while maintaining the quality of their operations.
The first step that the company has taken involves the extraction of raw materials; a cycle that results to recycling while improving waste treatment and coming up with significantly better-designed products that come from recovered used materials. Another positive outcome of this cycle is better management or control of the production procedures, and a more substantial amount of materials being recycled and reused.
Nokia’s earth-friendly program is concentrated on three main areas: energy sufficiency, take back and recycling, and substance management.
For energy efficiency, Nokia makes sure their products and devices use very minimal energy. The company also makes it point to reduce the energy consumption during operations.
With regard to take back and recycling, the company has come up with campaigns and activities that encourage the recycling of their used devices. Nokia also finds ways to promote recycling among their consumers. The company’s take-back program relies on its 5000 Nokia care centers scattered over 85 countries. These centers act as collectors of used Nokia devices.
For better substance management, Nokia and their suppliers work hand-in-hand in ensuring the proper declaration of all substances used in creating their devices. This is a precautionary measure undertaken by the company in order to lessen or eliminate unnecessary or dangerous substances. The company’s eventual goal is to use materials like recycled metals and bio plastics since these are more environment-friendly.
