Hi, Let me start by saying that we are one of the world's most ethical companies. https://www.nokia.com/about-us/sustainability/conducting-our-business-with-integrity/ethical-business/# One of our foundations is trust. Our Code of Conduct, and our mandatory training on Ethics and Compliance, our key value, Respect all express our commitment to earn this trust every day, with all our behaviours, activities and work - regardless of which country we are from or where we actually work. The Code of Conduct reflects our values through clear and simple direction for all of our employees and business partners - defining the principles of ethical and compliant business practices. We reinforce ethical behavior at all levels of the organization, as well as in all businesses. We are for integrity, all of us are empowered to raise concerns and speak up about potential violations of our Code of Conduct, without any fear of retaliation. We also have Ombuds Leaders across the company, fight against corruption, have Inclusion and Diversity high on our agenda, as well as focus on sustainability to build a better world.

Thank you for asking this important and appropriate question. Integrity, ethics, respect, and compliance are very important at Nokia; they represent how we view ourselves and guide our interactions with our colleagues and customers. Nokia was honored again in 2020 as one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies”. My personal experience with Nokia is that it expects the highest standards of ethics and integrity from all employees regardless of their job level. I have experienced first-hand and highly regard Nokia’s exceptional culture of inclusion, ethics, and integrity. Nokians do not tolerate unethical behavior, and we are encouraged to voice their concerns, without fear of retaliation, when we observe unethical practices. Nokia’s Code of Conduct expresses our individual and collective commitment for ethical behavior – as part of our work, and for everything we do. Nokia’s culture and ethical standards set clear expectations on how we treat people, collaborate, and conduct business with all our customers, partners, and employees. As an example of Nokia’s commitment to ethics, for new hires it is impressed from the beginning that conducting work ethically and in compliance with the law and company policies is essential. New employees at Nokia are expected to bookmark Nokia’s Ethics & Compliance website, read the Nokia Code of Conduct, complete Nokia’s Ethical Business Training course (and other compliance training applicable to the employee’s job role), discuss applicable Nokia policies and procedures with their manager, review the ethics & compliance policies and standard operating procedures & processes applicable to the employee’s job role, and to learn where and how to report ethics and compliance concerns. Nokia additionally provides a large library of ethics training titles through NokiaEDU (its premier learning and development organization).
