Following this launch, the framework will reinforce Nokia’s commitment to sustainable growth by securing its financing solution that supports the company’s recently enhanced ESG strategy.
The ESG strategy focused on purpose and profit, and it was built around five pillars where the company can have a material impact. By linking the ESG strategy to the sustainable finance framework, the company will allow the strategy to embed maintenance throughout the organisation. This will create long-term value for stakeholders as well, both on the internal and external levels.
From their operations to supply chain and customers, Nokia takes responsibility to decouple the continuous growth in the data traffic area, from the equivalent growth of energy consumption.
Furthermore, Nokia focuses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the value chain as well. This aim is part of a project made by the company between 2019 and 2030, where Nokia’s central ESG objective is the reduction of its GHG emissions by 50%. This plan was accepted by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is currently selected for the Sustainability Performance Target in the company’s finance framework. Customers will have the possibility to issue sustainability-linked financing instruments while Nokia intends to track its GHG emissions reduction across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
