At Nokia, sustainability is embedded in everything we do across our operations, products and services. This, combined with the positive effects of mobile technology for consumers, enables us to make a real difference to the environment and to driving sustainable development.
Nokia’s China operations epitomise Nokia’s philosophy and commitment to the environment, both through our Green building headquarters and our manufacturing facility, both housed within the greater Xingwang Industrial Park. This Industrial Park in Yizhuang, Beijing houses Nokia and its key suppliers such as Sanyo Energy, Ibiden Electronics, Inpac and Foxcomm Precision Components together as tenants to produce mobile phones under stringent environmental standards for manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales, and product end-of-life. International logistics company, DHL, manages all the park logistics.
A recent research study by analyst firms THINKTANK Media, SOL and SDR, labelled the Xingwang Industrial Park as “one of the largest and most complete industry value chains in the world.” The study found that the Xingwang Industrial Park achieves on an annual basis:
ØA decrease in energy consumption equivalent to nearly 45,000 tons of standard coal.
ØA reduction in Carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 88,000 tons.
ØWater conservation of half a million tons.
ØA reduction of packaging equivalent to the volume of sustainable logging of more than 1,500 hectares of Chinese red pine forests.
ØDirect economic benefit of the energy conservation alone of almost 100 Million US Dollars
The Nokia headquarters for the Greater China region, as well as one of our global R&D bases, are housed within the Nokia Green Building, stretching over 70,000 m2 and housing over 2000 employees. The building, which was designed in accordance with LEED standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), boasts several features that result in 37% less water and 20% less energy consumption compared to similar commercial buildings.
This is achieved through several design features such as ‘breathing glass curtain walls’; environmentally friendly parking areas; roofing materials with a high Solar Reflectance Index to dissipate heat, central energy control systems for air conditioning, lighting and projectors, amongst others. The building is the first New Construction to receive the LEED Gold certification for a commercial office in China. This accomplishment is recognised by Nokia across the globe and several other offices have adopted many of the sustainable practices from the China campus.
In Middle East and Africa, Nokia also takes sustainability and our commitment to the communities in which we operate seriously. Nokia employees take a personal responsibility for their impact on the environment by travelling less and using technology such as video conferences to conduct meetings as an alternative. Several employees also use public transport, cycle or walk to work to minimise carbon emissions. Nokia also encourages employees to work from home when possible to reduce the number of commuters. In our offices, we have minimised the need to print documents by having many automated systems in place. We also practice responsible recycling of materials such as paper, plastic and glass used in the offices, and we encourage employees to recycle their old phones, or to switch their phone chargers to more energy-efficient ones.
However, our greatest efforts in the region have been on generating consumer awareness on the issues of energy consumption and recycling. An estimated two thirds of the energy consumed by a mobile device is lost when the device is fully charged and unplugged from the charger but the charger remains connected to the mains (this is called the “no load” consumption of a charger). In May 2007, Nokia was the first mobile manufacturer to put alerts into the phone to remind consumers to unplug the charger after use. And over the last decade, Nokia has reduced the no load energy consumption of our chargers by an average of 80%.
Nokia also operates the world’s largest voluntary mobile phone recycling scheme, across an estimated 5000 Nokia Collection points in 85 countries. In MEA, the program has been launched successfully in many countries including South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, UAE and Saudi Arabia, Consumers are able to bring old, unwanted and broken mobile devices and accessories, not only from Nokia but any manufacturer, to the Nokia Customer Care points where they are collected for responsible recycling. All materials in Nokia phones can be used again to make parts for new products such as bicycles, kettles or even dental fillings, or to generate energy. In this way, nothing is wasted.
The sad truth is that only 3% of current mobile phone owners claim to recycle their devices. This stat was confirmed in research studies conducted in several countries across the globe including Nigeria and UAE. If all of the around 4.6 billion people using mobile phones globally recycled at least one of their unwanted devices, this could save 370,000 tonnes of raw materials and reduce gases to the same extent as taking 6 million cars off the road. This is significant proof point and highlights the need for continued consumer education if we are to build a sustainable future. Nokia will continue to be a pioneer in this area.
From the beginning of its partnership with DiCaprio in January 2009, the actor and environmental activist has worked with TAG Heuer to design measures that will help the company reduce its carbon footprint.
Since 2002, TAG Heuer hasinstituteda series of measures in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint: general recycling in its factory and offices, use of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper, and the development of eco-friendly buildings for manufacturing and back office functions.
The new partnership with DiCaprio has triggered more specific measures:
·The hiring of a Green specialist in charge of setting up new sustainability policies for the company.
A new laser engraving closed circuit system that saves 900 liters of water an hour.
Recycling of the acclaimed concept-gone-commercial Monaco V4 drive belt scraps to produce new belts.
Vegetal roofs on the manufacture’s buildings with specific isolation and water filtering properties.
Recycling of the heat generated by the “Machines d’usinage des platines” to heat up the building in winter.
In addition to the durability of TAG Heuer’s products, which are built with only the best quality Swiss watchmaking materials, the company also encourages consumers to preserve their watch and pass it on to the next generation by utilizing TAG Heuer’s worldwide network of customer service centers, which provide maintenance and after sale service.
TAG Heuer’s 22 subsidiaries Worldwide have also implemented DiCaprio-inspired measures, including the implementation of a paperless office in the Carribean/Latin America, limited air conditioning use in Malaysia and CLA, and a virtual internet catalogue to reduce prints and paper, to name a few.
The future is green for the Swiss watch industry. The Scientific and Development teams at TAG Heuer’s Swiss Avant-Garde brand researching the use of new metals for casting. These metalluric changes will lower the environmental impact of casting by substituting new metals in place of steel or gold. This research will continue in 2010.
In a move to continue driving innovation in its market leading mobile phone range, Nokia today unveils the super slim Nokia X3 Touch and Type, with a unique combination of a touch screen and traditional 12 button phone keypad.
As Nokia’s first ‘Touch and Type’ phone, the Nokia X3 allows people to tap quickly on the bright color touch screen, as well as enjoy the familiarity of the full keypad for quick fire text messages and phone calls. Expected to be on sale in the third quarter, the Nokia X3 is expected to retail for approximately EUR 125, excluding taxes and subsidies.
“Innovation is not just a high-end game. The Nokia X3 is a great example of bringing new consumer value to lower price points,” said Mary McDowell, Executive Vice President of Mobile Phones at Nokia.
“With the Nokia X3 we are giving consumers the best of both worlds by combining a touch screen and a keypad in an affordable device. We have given people a larger screen with clear icons and menus plus kept critical keys such as the send and end keys. We’ve also added dedicated function keys for important links like music and text messaging,” she said.
“We have designed the Nokia X3 to be a touch and type device because typing is ideal for SMS and social networking where fast and frequent input is needed, while touch is ideal for functions such as setting alarms, smooth browsing and controlling applications like music and games.
“Our research tells us consumers who have invested years in becoming fast one-handed, one-thumb texters want to maintain their speedy edge for SMS, chat and instant messaging yet enjoy the benefits of touch as well,” continued McDowell.
With its sleek and modern design coming in at a very thin 9.6mm making it one of the slimmest Nokia phones ever the Nokia X3 slips easily into the purse or the pocket, and looks the part with its brushed aluminum back cover which will come in five vibrant colors designed to suit any mood or wardrobe.
Despite its size, the Nokia X3 is jam-packed with features including 3G, WLAN, a music player and an FM radio.
Lovers of the snapshot and social networks will enjoy a great 5 megapixel camera with 4X digital zoom that can take both still and video images.
The Nokia X3 also features dedicated music and messaging keys allowing fast access to important Ovi services including social and entertainment applications. In addition to Ovi Mail, people’s favorite consumer email and chat accounts can be pushed direct to the phone via Nokia Messaging.
With a gentle glide over the touch screen people can go online and get access to many services including thousands of apps from Ovi Store. In certain markets, the new phone will also be available with Ovi Music Unlimited, enabling the owner to access a virtually limitless range of the latest hit music that can be stored on the available 16GB memory card.
The Nokia X3 affordable and accessible touch and type which is simple-to-use and beautifully designed. The Nokia X3 Touch and Type sits alongside the Nokia X3-00, a slider with strong music functionality, which was launched in September 2009.
The Nokia Mini Speaker MD-11. Pocket-sized speakers for big sound
Music lovers can boost the Nokia X3’s inbuilt speaker with some extra ‘oomph’ with the new MD-11, a light pocket-size speaker with great audio quality. For even more fun, you can connect two for stereo sound – a great way to get the music out of your phone and enjoy with friends. The Nokia Mini Speaker MD-11 is estimated to retail for EUR 25 excluding taxes and subsidies.
