Nokia joins RE100 as part of target to move to 100% renewable electricity by 2025
- RE100 is a global initiative bringing together the world's most influential businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity
Espoo,
Today’s announcement cements Nokia’s earlier stated target to reduce emissions from its own operations by moving to 100% renewable electricity by 2025. By joining the RE100 initiative, Nokia aims to show leadership in renewable energy adoption in our operations and use its position in the ICT value chain to encourage suppliers and customers to take similar steps to reduce emissions by accelerating the shift to sustainable electricity
Additionally, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) temperature target of 1.5°C, Nokia will continue to focus on reducing its emissions by 50% across its value chain, including its own operations, products in use, logistics, and final assembly supplier factories by 2030.
While today’s commitment focuses on Nokia’s Scope 2 emissions, it continues to work on reducing its Scope 1 and 3 emissions. For example, Nokia is working on reducing product use time emissions in line with its SBTi commitment, by continually improving energy efficiency more widely across its product portfolio.
Nokia has been increasing its share of renewable electricity for several years now; its usage across the business in 2020 was 39% and it is on track to reach the 45% target for 2021. Nokia is committed to accelerating this trend to reach 100% by 2025.
