Nokia is the world leader in mobile communication, and the world's largest manufacturer of mobile telephones.
Nokia committed to substantially increase the energy efficiency of chargers by reducing the average no-load consumption by 50% within three years. Nokia also pledged to have achieved further energy savings in Nokia sites between 2007 and 2012 of 6% compared to 2006 levels, and to use green electricity for 25% of total Nokia electricity consumption for the period 2007-2009, with an aim to increase it to 50% in 2010.
Nokia’s Vice President of Environmental Affairs, Kirsi Sormunen said, “As the world’s largest mobile company we have a responsibility to look at how we can play our part on tackling climate change. This is not about grand gestures but everyday things that when multiplied by the scale of our operations, or the 900 million people using Nokia devices globally, can have a major impact.”
By reminding customers to unplug chargers when not in use Nokia reduced the average no-load energy used by its chargers by over 50% in the last 9 years, and its best-in-class charger needs just one tenth of the power used by most common chargers.
Nokia is looking up and down its supply chains and logistics operations, and will be working with key global suppliers and logistics providers to have energy efficiency and CO2 emission reduction targets similar to Nokia’s in place by 2009.
