Nokia has cut its own operational emissions 86% since 2019 and has an SBTi-validated net-zero target for 2040. But its total footprint rose 17% in 2025 to 30.5 MtCO2e, driven by customers' use of its products and the Infinera acquisition. Its electricity is 96% renewable, and it publishes no group water or biodiversity data that our reader could check.
Nokia scores 37/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
That places Nokia joint 453rd of 883 companies scored, and joint 17th of 36 in Electronics / Hardware.
Where Nokia sits among electronics / hardware peers.
Among the 36 major electronics / hardware brands we've scored, Nokia is tied =17th of 36, with 3 others.
Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
No supply-chain water data despite semiconductor/PCB intensity.
Scope 1+2 fell while Scope 3 rose; absolute emissions rise in the latest year signals trajectory failure against near-term reduction claims.
No TNFD disclosure, biodiversity footprint, or nature target found.
