. And were pleased to say that our efforts dont go unnoticed. From product design to sustainability, weve received recognition for our achievements in a variety of areas from a range of different sources. Here are just a few examples:

Nokia named as one of worlds most sustainable technology companies

Nokia was once again selected as one of the worlds most sustainable technology companies on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index (DJSI Europe) for 2011. Nokia has now been included in DJSI World index (launched in 1999) since 2000 and in DJSI Europe index (launched in 2001) from 2001 to 2005 and 2007 to 2011. Overall, our performance in the DJSI World 2011 review placed us among the top performing companies. We were able to reach the same overall score of 82 points out of 100 points as in 2010 a fantastic achievement, given the changes in our business environment. The industry groups average was just 51 points. The scores reflect the companys performance across economic, environmental and social criteria.
