Overview
At Nokia we aim to lead in sustainability by taking it into account in everything we do.
Over a billion people in the world use a Nokia phone, and we are excited about the
opportunities this provides for improving people's livelihoods and encouraging them to
embrace a more sustainable lifestyle.
As a market leader, one of the best ways we can contribute to the global community is to
conduct our business in a responsible way. We are committed to drive ethically sound
policies and practices that guide us in our work. We have a long track record of taking
sustainability into account in all our operations, products and services, but we also look
beyond our own operations to use our scale for good. Put simply, sustainability is our
way of doing business, and our corporate responsibility agenda is framed around the
Nokia values of being very human, engaging everyone, innovation and achieving
together.
Mobile communications have played a big role in billions of people's lives. Now that
mobile devices are connecting us in many ways beyond calls, Nokia has been leading and
encouraging innovation around how to harness this new connectivity to help people solve
everyday challenges and connect them to what matters most. New, innovative mobile
solutions hold tremendous potential for changing the way we live.

History(profile)
According to internal memos, American Telephone & Telegraph discussed developing a
wireless phone in 1915, but were afraid that deployment of the technology could
undermine its monopoly on wired service in the U.S.[2]
In 1947 Bell Labs was the first to propose cellular radio telephone network. The primary
innovation was the development of a network of small overlapping cell sites supported by
a call switching infrastructure that tracks users as they moved through a network and pass
their call from one site to another without dropping the connection. In 1956 the MTA
system was launched in Sweden. Bell Labs installed the first commercial cellular network
in Chicago in the 1970s.[3] Japan's first commercial radio telephony service was launched
by NTT in 1978.
The first fully automatic first generation cellular system was the Nordic Mobile
Telephone (NMT) system, simultaneously launched in 1981 in Denmark, Finland,
Norway and Sweden.[4] NMT was the first mobile phone network featuring international
roaming. The Swedish electrical engineer Östen Mäkitalo started to work on this vision in
1966, and is considered as the father of the NMT system and some consider him also the
father of the cellular phone.[5][6]
By November 2007, the total number of mobile phone subscriptions in the world had
reached 3.3 billion, or half of the human population (although some users have multiple
subscriptions, or inactive subscriptions), which also makes the mobile phone the most
widely spread technology and the most common electronic device in the world.[7]
The first mobile phone to enable internet connectivity and wireless email, the Nokia
Communicator, was released in 1996, creating a new category of multi-use devices called
smartphones. In 1999 the first mobile internet service was launched by NTT DoCoMo in
Japan under the i-Mode service. By 2007 over 798 million people around the world
accessed the internet or equivalent mobile internet services such as WAP and i-Mode at
least occasionally using a mobile phone rather than a personal c About
