Nokia Corp. said Thursday that it will halve emissions across
both its own operations and its products in use by customers
between 2019 and 2030.
"The company's new science-based targets fulfill its commitment
to recalibrate in line with a 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming
scenario," it said.
Nokia first committed to science-based targets in 2017,
initially with goals based on limiting global warming to 2 degrees
Celsius.
The new target covers close to 100% of the company's current
product portfolio and includes emissions from both logistics and
assembly factories within its supply chain, as well as emissions
from Nokia's own operations, it added.
Nokia said products in use are the largest part of its carbon
footprint and it is addressing the problem in multiple ways, from
hardware and software energy efficiency to product design,
modernization and better use of resources.
