Nokia created a climate strategy in 2006. It looks at the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions of our products and operations and sets energy and CO₂ emission reduction targets for our most important activities. We updated this strategy in 2008 and have set ourselves the following targets.

Those marked [V] have external verification of performance in place. The statement of the latest verification round (October 2008) can be found from here (in English).

Products and services

• Reduce the average charger's no-load power consumption from 2006 level by 50 percent by the end of 2010 (V)
• Continue to study new technologies which will use renewable energy resources, such as solar panels and kinetic energy
• Continue to look ways to reduce data centers energy consumption

Operations (including suppliers and service providers)

• Ensure that improvement in energy efficiency meet and exceed the general efficiency targets per units manufactured
• Ensure that all our key suppliers set energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction targets
• Set CO₂ reduction targets for logistics service providers

Facilities

• Create 6% of new energy savings in technical building maintenance systems between 2007 and 2012 compared to the baseline year 2006, in addition to the savings of 3.5% achieved already in 2003–2006.(V)
• In 2009–2010, 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 purchaces are available.
• Reduce CO₂ emissions through these measures by a minimum of 10% in 2009 and by a minimum of 18% in 2010, compared to the base year 2006.

Work and management practices

• educe work related travel and commuting by increasing remote work and remote working possibilites and reduce office space to gain savings in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
• Offer employees the possibility to offset their air travel carbon dioxide emission
• Utilise energy saving technologies in offices and in office equipment/hardware.

Participation in external initiatives

• Continue to investigate opportunities to join further voluntary initiatives promoting energy efficiency across the industry
• Provide solutions and influence policy makers to realise the role and potential of ICT in reducing economies overall energy consumption when addressing climate change policies.
