      2. Energy Efficiency

          1. Nokia products use as little energy as possible.
            1. Nokia have set energy targets with manufacturers and supplies.
            2. Take Back and Recycle

                1. With all useful materials being put back into circulation
                2. Nokia recycle lots of materials from electronic waste, old mobile phones, production scrap and old IT equipment.
                3. "Recycle Your Mobile Campaign"
                  1. Problem: 50% of mobile users replace their phone each year - with 44% of mobiles being left in drawers and never used again.
                    1. Solution
                      1. Encourage old phones to be handed in at designated areas.
                        1. 65-80% of materials in Nokia's mobiles can be recycled.
                          1. Materials can be recycled and used to make a range of other goods including park benches and jewellery.
                            1. Campaign has been promoted through internet advertising.
                        2. Marks and Spencer's - Plan A
                          1. Climate Change
                            1. All aspects of business have a carbon footprint - M&S aim to reduce emissions and be carbon neutral by 2012.
                              1. So far: eco-stores esablisted and use 23% less energy and 90% less carbon dioxide. Teardop 'eco-lorries' emit 20% less carbon dioxide. Online campaigns encourage more ssustainable living.

                              1. Aim to significantly reduce the amount of packaging and carrier bags
                                1. Reduced packaging - most now fully recyclable or compostable. A charge for carrier bags (profits go to charity) to encourage consumers to use bags for life. 122 million hangers recycled last year. M&S and Oxfam clothes exchange - encourage unwanted clothes to be take to Oxfam for small refund.
                              2. Sustainable Raw Materials

                                  2. Health
                                    1. Set out to reduce saturated fat/sugar/salt in food and improve labelling.
