- About us
PrintOur approach
We aim to be honest and transparent as we seize opportunities to grow a sustainable business and meet our obligations to people and the planet. Our sustainability strategy is to mitigate risks, minimize environmental impacts and maximize our positive contribution. We do this by making sure we focus on three key stakeholders: our employees, our customers and our planet.
Good housekeeping
We respect all relevant laws, regulations and international standards. More than that, we aim to create an organization where ethical business practice is a source of pride and employees have a safe, motivating working environment.
Our Code of Conduct is central to operating responsibly. It is reinforced with mandatory annual training for every employee and supported by detailed policies and guidelines. We also have strong management systems in place covering anti-corruption, human rights, labor conditions, occupational health and safety, and environmental protection standards.
Our own operations have a relatively small environmental impact but we have ambitious goals to improve the environmental efficiency of our facilities, IT services, travel and service fleets.
Sustainable value for our customers
We want our sustainability performance to be a source of competitive advantage. An important part of this is making sure we extend the high demands we put on ourselves to our suppliers. We work closely with customers to improve the safety of all workers involved in higher risk tower building and installation works.
But we can do more. We put a lot of effort into helping customers reduce their environmental footprint. As well as the industry-leading energy efficiency of our base stations, we provide solutions to optimize energy consumption in the entire network.
A good neighbor
We want to contribute broadly to the communities where we operate and employ people. We do this by minimizing any adverse environmental effects of our operations and by connecting with the local people through our community involvement activities.
Positive impacts on the planet
The greatest contribution we can make to sustainability is to use our technology to benefit communities and the environment.
Telecommunications is in a unique position to reduce the environmental impacts of other industries and contribute to social and economic development. We are working with partners to make a wide range of activities more efficient, creating a low carbon economy. We also work on bringing sustainable connectivity to remote, underserved areas and make other positive contributions in the communities where we operate. Additionally, we recognize our responsibility to carry out due diligence so that our communications products are used to support and not infringe human rights.
Commitments
Nokia Siemens Networks is a member of the United Nations Global Compact and we are committed to its Principles. Our annual Sustainability Report is our Communication on Progress. Nokia Group, including Nokia Siemens Networks is included both in Dow Jones Sustainability Index (“Technology Supersector Leader” in 2009 and 2010) and in FTSE4Good.
We want to maintain an active and open dialog, engaging widely to find new and better ways to serve stakeholders and improve our performance.
