Nokia Code of Conduct
Dear Colleague,
Nokia products touch the lives of billions of people, from every corner of the earth, from every type of culture, from every age and background, every day. In fact, we made it our mission to get a mobile phone into the hands of everyone, because we believe technology should be a powerful force for societal advancement.
