Nokia Wins at GSMA Awards: Environmental and Best Mobile Internet Service

   

 

This year’s Mobile World Congress recognised Nokia’s long standing commitment to environmental action by presenting the company with the GSMA’s first award for Outstanding Environmental Contribution.

Nokia We Recycle

Nokia also won an award for Best Mobile Internet Service, for Nokia Sports Tracker. The free application, first launched in July 2008 and downloaded more than 2.5 million times to date, monitors exercise and tracks fitness levels, and makes the information available to share with friends and training partners.

From the press release…

Accepting the Environmental Award Nokia’s CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said, “It is an honor to accept this on behalf of the thousands of Nokia people who have made sustainable, environmentally sensitive practices an integral part of our day to day business. With more than a billion people using Nokia phones globally, we feel we have a responsibility to make a difference.” He added, “Environmental sustainability is not just the right thing to do, it is the only thing to do. I have long maintained that doing the right thing for the environment also makes good business sense.”
