How can digital technologies assist in the fight against climate change? What opportunities can they play in mitigating climate change and helping achieve net zero?
To discuss this issue, we are delighted to welcome Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO of Nokia. In March 2021, Nokia has made a public pledge to halve its emissions by 2030 based on its 2019 levels, signed off by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Commenting at the time, Pekka Lundmark said: “We have led the way in reducing emissions from our own operations and helping our customers to do the same by continuously innovating to make our products more energy efficient in recent years. But climate change is a race against time. These tougher, new, scientifically-calibrated climate targets mean we will go further and faster to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure sustainability is at the heart of our product design and the smart solutions we enable.”
With almost 20 years as a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Pekka has accrued deep expertise in the telecommunications, technology, energy, machinery, and finance sectors, all of which are central to the transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Pekka was appointed as Nokia’s CEO on August 1, 2020. He has put in place a new operating model for the company and positioned Nokia as a trusted partner for critical networks around the world. They are central to Pekka's passionately held belief that technology and connectivity can and should help industries and societies improve productivity and sustainability as well as create new opportunities.
Join us, at our Climate Chamber series to hear how Nokia is equipping and addressing not only its own operations as a business but are also innovating and developing technology to assist businesses and individuals in their approach to addressing climate change.
