Espoo, Finland - Nokia is the world's most sustainable technology
company according to the 2009 -10 edition of the prestigious Dow
Jones Sustainability Indexes that went live today. Already rated for
several years as the leader within the Europe and Communications
categories, this year Nokia was also chosen as "World Technology
Supersector Leader" making it number one across the entire global
technology sector.

The Dow Jones Indexes are globally respected rankings of how well the
world's leading corporations are integrating sustainability into
their businesses. Selecting components from 2,500 companies in over
50 countries, the indexes are relied upon by leading institutional
investors.

Commenting on the news, Rick Simonson, Executive Vice-President and
Chief Financial Officer, Nokia said, "Achieving the world number one
slot across the entire global technology industry is a great
achievement. It reflects the continued and strong commitment by Nokia
employees to sustainable business practices. We remain committed to
action in this area because acting responsibly is not only the right
thing to do, it is also undoubtedly the best thing for our business."

Nokia has been integrating environmental and sustainable activities
into the way it does business for more than a decade and the company
considers the environment in ALL of the devices it makes by reducing
environmental impacts in packaging, energy consumption, materials and
manufacturing processes, and recyclability.

Nokia works with a number of public sector bodies, NGOs and voluntary
groups to harness the power of mobile technology to address
environmental, social or economic issues. Some of its most recent
projects include developing dedicated mobile software that is being
used by health workers to help monitor and fight the outbreak of
disease in Brazil, and using mobile devices and connections to
delivers high quality educational materials to children in remote or
unprivileged areas in Brazil, the Philippines, and South Africa.

As part of its climate change strategy, Nokia is constantly working
on reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency across its
business. Some of its actions include reducing travel, investing in
research and development of new technologies using renewable energy
resources, and plans to increase the usage of green electricity which
already accounts for 25% of all energy the company consumes.

The company has also built a network of energy efficient and
environmentally sensitive offices and works across its network of
suppliers to set and develop high environmental and social standards.

Nokia's sustainability strategy has received growing external
recognition. Earlier this year Nokia's long standing commitment to
environmental action was recognized at the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona where the company received the GSMA's first award for
Outstanding Environmental Contribution. In August, Nokia was also
chosen as India's "Green Company of the Year" in the 10th Annual
Voice and Data 100 Awards.
