Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo has yet to speak out decisively on behalf of Nokia for a strong climate deal at Copenhagen (Ericsson has). Read the details or do something about it.
Oct 2009 Greenpeace Assessment
Summary: 20/100
Nokia has falied to show significant improvement since May. Nokia has yet to speak out decisively on Copenhagen despite Ericsson showing a good example. Nokia has done some limited advocacy work but still needs to provide far better case studies of climate solutions it provides beyond the energy efficiency of products.
Public Climate Speech: 0/10
Apart from one 6-word quote from their CEO on their website, Nokia has not released any statements by company executives addressing the urgent need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
Political Advocacy: 4/25
Some limited advocacy work, has signed the Digital Energy Solutions Campaign letter and the WWF clean economy campaign.
Climate Solutions: 1/50
Nokia provided some simple calculations on the benefits of mobile technology to reduce emissions. However compared to the in depth case studies of actual impact provided by other companies, Nokia's simple estimations are very weak.
Own Emissions Target: 10/10
Max points for the target of 18 percent reduction by 2010. Needs to set 2012 target.
Renewable Energy Use: 5/5
Nokia has the highest renewable energy use and target (50 percent by 2010) of any company surveyed. They need to clarify their renewable energy credits.
