innovative environmental features made by Nokia.since its
construction in 2007.

USGBC certification recognizes buildings that set new standards in
the design and construction of the world's greenest, most energy
efficient and highly performing buildings.  The Nokia Jucu factory is
one of a small number of buildings around the world to achieve the
LEED Gold rating and the first in Romania to be recognized by the
USGBC for its green features. Nokia's China campus in Beijing was the
first Nokia facility to receive LEED Gold Certification in 2008.

 "We are extremely proud to be leading the way in creating truly
sustainable buildings in our operations. It is an honor that our
factory in Romania has been picked as one of the world's most
sustainable buildings and Romania's greenest factory. This
achievement demonstrates our strong commitment and investment in
sustainability, efficiency and environmental quality in the way we
run our daily business" said Risto Meskus, Jucu factory Managing

The Jucu factory facility incorporates a range of innovative and
sustainable features including:

Energy saving - The factory deploys a range of energy saving features
including a thermal envelope around the core of the building, high
efficiency glazing, reduced lighting power density, and occupancy
sensors to manage heat and lighting. These features enable the
building to use over 25% less energy than a standard building.

Water usage - By installing a range of water saving devices and
systems such as flow limiters the overall use of water at the Nokia
building is over 30% less than at a standard building.

Recycling - Reducing the environmental footprint of the factory has
been considered both during its construction and ongoing operations.
Around 30% of the materials used to construct the factory were made
from recycled materials and additional ones sourced locally.
Additionally,  around half of the construction waste was reclaimed
and recycled. The USGBC also recognized Nokia's best practice waste
management system, including dedicated recycling of materials such as
production waste,  cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, and metals.

Sustainable transport - Nokia encourages sustainable transport
alternative for factory employees including a shuttle system to
reduce personal car use, 18 preferred parking for low-emitting
vehicles, and provisions for bicycle storage and showers.

wellbeing. These include lockers and storage space, excellent
