13 March 2023 This award distinguishes Nokia for its strong business ethics, governance and sustainability practices. Esa Niinimäki, Chief Legal Officer of Nokia, said: “As part of our renewed company strategy, we want to be the trusted provider of choice in our industry and draw on our ESG approach as a competitive advantage for Nokia. This award recognizes the commitment of our leaders, employees and partners to operating with the highest standards of business ethics.” In 2022, Nokia announced an enhanced ESG strategy that has been designed to maximize Nokia’s impact where its technology, solutions and capabilities combine to address some of the biggest global challenges and create value. Among the five key pillars of the ESG strategy is Nokia’s commitment to continue to take a proactive and values-driven approach in driving responsible business practices internally and in its value chain, working closely with customers and suppliers to engage on systemic issues related to environment, mitigating the misuse of technology (for example, in responsible use of AI), ethics, human rights, and working conditions.
