Espoo, Finland – Nokia has called
for accelerated digitalization and
green energy uptake, as
well as setting
its sights on 100%
renewable electricity in its own
operations by 2025.
The announcement comes with world leaders having convened in
Glasgow, Scotland for the United Nations Climate Change Conference
(COP26). Nokia President and CEO Pekka Lundmark joined political,
business, and civil society leaders at the conference, calling for
an acceleration in the uptake of green technology to reach net
zero.
Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO of Nokia,
said: “There is no green without digital. Only 30% of
the world’s economy is currently digitalized, and we must now work
to connect the remaining 70% to ensure the world can reach net
zero. 5G and related technologies play a critical role in making
other industries more sustainable. At the same time the ICT
industry needs to minimize its footprint and accelerate the
use of green electricity"
Nokia now targets to achieve 100% purchased electricity from
renewable sources by 2025 to power its offices, R&D labs, and
factories. [1] While renewable energy is not currently available in
all 120 countries where Nokia operates, it will work with the
broader ecosystem to drive greater uptake of sustainable
electricity.
Digitalization is critical for making industries more
sustainable – resulting in less waste, more resource efficiency and
greater productivity. For instance, in the energy sector,
digitalization can help wind farm operators automate offshore
windfarms, allowing them to operate more productively. [2] In
agriculture, the adoption of digital technology can increase
yields, reduce costs, and cut water use. [3] Across manufacturing,
converting to smart manufacturing can help secure annual
productivity and energy-saving gains of 10-20%. [4] While recent
research suggests the COVID-19 pandemic speeded up digitalization
by an average of six years, the greater part of the world’s economy
lacks access to key digital technologies. [5]
Nokia has already committed to reducing its emissions by 50%
across its value chain, including own operations, products in use,
logistics, and final assembly supplier factories by 2030. Its
commitments have been approved by the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi) to be in line with the Paris Agreement’s aim of
limiting global warming to 1.5C. With 90% of its emissions coming
from customer use of products, Nokia continually invests in
improving product energy efficiency – even as capacity grows.

Notes to editors
[1] In 2020, 39% of Nokia’s total purchased electricity was from
renewable sources.
[2] Improved connectivity at offshore wind farms can improve
safety, allowing workers to operate safely to their full capacity,
as well as enabling early detection and prevention of wind turbine
failure with remote monitoring, control and inspections.
[3] Nokia Bell Labs estimates that if 25 percent of all farms
adopted precision farming by 2030, it would lead to yield increases
of up to 300 million tons per year, a reduction in farming costs of
up to US$100 billion per year and a reduction of waste water by up
to 150 billion cubic meters per year.
[4] According to research by Nokia and GSMA Intelligence, annual
productivity and energy-saving gains of 10–20% can be realized
through the conversion to smart factories.
[5] A recent survey of over 2,500 companies across all
industries worldwide found thatCOVID-19 has accelerated the
implementation of digital communications by six years on
average.
[6] Nokia’s ReefShark powered plug-in cards cut power
consumption by up to 75%, while its FP5 routing silicon reduces
power consumption by 75% compared to previous generations. New
cooling systems developed by Nokia for energy-intensive base
stations can reduce energy use by roughly 70%.
