"Nokia is very proactive in its environmental efforts," says Kirsi Sormunen, Vice President, Environmental Affairs, Nokia. "Nokia' compliance of its world-class product portfolio goes far beyond the borders of the European Union. By applying the EU guidelines to our whole product portfolio globally and by launching pilot products, Nokia has broadened the dimensions of the EU legislation in terms of geography and time.
The phase out has been supported by the entire supplier network, the successful transition having been a huge effort also to our component manufacturers."
Nokia employs its "Design for Environment" approach in developing new products. The purpose is to evaluate the environmental impact of a product from the first sketches and material decisions onwards throughout the whole product lifecycle. By continually investigating viable alternatives for phasing-out additional substances, such as PVC and brominated flame retardants, Nokia will take further steps in its environmental efforts, going beyond the legal compliance of regulatory requirements.
