NOKIA
Guided by new EU rules, Nokia’ s sustainability report finds 95 % of its emissions are from product use, driving its focus on energy efficiency and innovation
okia’ s 2024 Sustainability Statement is framed by the stringent analytical requirements of the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive( CSRD), built upon a“ double materiality assessment” to identify and prioritise key ESG topics. A critical analytical insight guiding its strategy is that 95 % of its total greenhouse gas emissions come from the use of its sold products( Scope 3). This data point focuses the company’ s efforts on improving the energy efficiency of its technology as the most impactful decarbonisation lever.
The report features forward-looking analytics, presenting a detailed net-zero pathway to 2040 which quantifies the projected emissions reductions from various initiatives, including product energy efficiency and supply chain improvements. Performance is tracked against a science-based target to slash Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in half by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, with analytics showing a 36 % reduction already achieved by 2024.
Nokia also extends its analytical capabilities to its customers, offering a Private Wireless Sustainability Calculator to help enterprises quantify their own environmental gains, fostering innovation and resilience across its value chain.
