Sustainability in everyday life

Our tradition of giving back to our communities goes back to the early 1900s when our company built housing for the personnel. We affect our local communities in many ways: In Nokia, Finland we are one of the major employers. In Russia, we have built housing for our personnel. The taxes that we pay support the well-being of people in different countries. We are also actively involved in making road traffic safer. We believe that even small actions matter.
