Fees | Fees consist of annual fees and meeting fees. Approximately 40% of the annual fee is paid in Nokia shares purchased from the market on behalf of the Board members or alternatively delivered as treasury shares held by the Company. The balance is paid in cash, most of which is typically used to cover taxes arising from the paid remuneration. Meeting fees are paid in cash. |
Incentives | Non-executive directors are not eligible to participate in any Nokia incentive plans and do not receive performance shares, restricted shares or any other equity-based or other form of variable compensation for their duties as members of the Board. |
Pensions | Non-executive directors do not participate in any Nokia pension plans. |
Share ownership requirement | Members of the Board shall normally retain until the end of their directorship such number of shares that corresponds to the number of shares they have received as Board remuneration during their first three years of service on the Board (the net amount received after deducting those shares needed to offset any costs relating to the acquisition of the shares, including taxes). |
Other | Directors are compensated for travel and accommodation expenses as well as other costs directly related to Board and Committee work. These are paid in cash. |

Remuneration element | Purpose and link to strategy | Operation including maximum opportunity | Performance conditions |
Base salary | To attract and retain individuals with the requisite level of knowledge, skills and experience to lead our businesses | Base salary is normally reviewed annually taking into consideration a variety of factors, including but not limited to, performance of the Company and the individual, remuneration of our external peer group, changes in individual responsibilities and employee salary increases. | Whilst there are no performance targets attached to the payment of base salary, performance is considered as context in the annual salary review. |
Pension | To provide retirement benefit aligned with local country practice | Pension arrangements reflect the relevant market practice and may evolve year on year. The President and CEO may participate in the applicable pension programs available to other executives in the country of employment. The current President and CEO participates in the Finnish statutory Employee’s Pension Act (TyEL); there is no supplementary pension plan. The retirement age is the statutory retirement age in Finland. | N/A |
Benefits | To provide a competitive level of benefits and to support recruitment and retention | Benefits will be provided in line with local market practice in the country of employment and may evolve year on year. Benefits may include, for example, a company car (or cash equivalent), risk benefits (for example life and disability insurance) and employer contributions to insurance plans (for example medical insurance). Additional benefits and allowances may be offered in certain circumstances such as relocation support, expatriate allowances, and temporary living and transportation expenses aligned with Nokia’s mobility policy. | N/A |
Short-term incentive (STI) | To incentivize and reward performance against delivery of the annual business plan | STI is based on performance against one-year financial and non-financial targets and normally paid in cash. Minimum payout is 0% of base salary. Target opportunity is 125% of base salary. Maximum opportunity is 281.25% of base salary. The Company Clawback Policies apply. | Performance measures, weightings and targets for the selected measures are set at the start of the year annually by the Board of Directors to ensure they continue to support Nokia’s short-term business strategy. These measures can vary from year to year to reflect business priorities and may include a balance of financial, key operational and non-financial measures. Although the performance measures and weighting may differ year on year reflecting the business priorities, in any given year, a minimum of 60% of measures will be based on financial criteria. Performance metrics and weightings are disclosed retrospectively in the annual Remuneration Report. |
Long-term incentive (LTI) – performance share award | To reward for delivery of sustainable long-term performance, align the President and CEO’s interests with those of shareholders and aid retention | Long-term incentive awards may be made annually in shares, vesting normally after three years dependent on the achievement of stretching performance conditions measured over a three-year period. Target award level is 200% of base salary at the date of grant, with maximum vesting of 400% of base salary. The Company Clawback Policies apply. | Performance measures, weightings and targets for the selected measures are set by the Board of Directors to ensure they continue to support Nokia’s long-term business strategy and financial success. Targets are set in the context of Nokia’s long-term plans and analyst forecasts, ensuring that they are considered both achievable and sufficiently stretching. The Committee may choose different measures and weightings each year based on the business plan and these will consist of at least 60% financial measures and/or share price-related measures. Performance metrics and weightings are disclosed retrospectively in the annual Remuneration Report. |

Enhanced LTI (eLTI) – co-investment arrangement | To further align the President and CEO’s interests with Nokia’s long-term success and shareholder interests | To further align the President and CEO’s interests with Nokia’s long-term success and shareholder interests eLTI is only granted in exceptional circumstances. The President and CEO may be invited, at the discretion of the Board, to purchase investment shares of up to 200% of base salary, and in return, receive two matching shares for every one investment share purchased. The matching shares are delivered in the form of performance shares, typically subject to the same performance conditions as for the LTI performance share award, with a three-year performance and vesting period. The minimum vesting of the matching shares is 0% of base salary and maximum vesting is two times grant level. The Company Clawback Policies apply. | The performance metrics, targets and weightings for the matching shares are typically the same as those for LTI performance shares granted in the same year. |
Shareholding requirement | To align the President and CEO’s interests with shareholder interests and ensure any decisions made are in the long-term interest of the Company | The President and CEO is required to build and maintain a shareholding equivalent to 300% of base salary, to be achieved normally within five years of appointment. | N/A |

In 2023, Nokia deployed the Rural Connect Solution in Middle East and Africa to connect the unconnected and bridge the coverage gap in remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa. The solution takes a new approach to evolving radio access network sites with a focus on reducing energy consumption. It incorporates baseband units with AirScale power rectifiers and long-lasting lithium batteries in a compact, portable package that can be installed almost anywhere. Nokia is collaborating with UNICEF to bridge the digital divide by helping to improve digital education and training in schools in select parts of Senegal, West Africa. The principal beneficiaries are teachers, as well as middle school students in underserved areas. The scope of work includes specific sessions on digital skills, as well as upgrading equipment and connectivity. | In 2023, Nokia partnered with DXC Technology, to launch DXC Signal Private LTE and 5G, a managed secure private wireless network and digitalization platform solution that helps industrial enterprises digitally transform their operations, especially in key market segments including manufacturing, energy, healthcare, logistics, transportation, and education. During the year we also announced that we will work with US energy provider Xcel Energy to help modernize grid operations. The project will include the deployment of Nokia private LTE network technology, helping support secure, reliable data connectivity and new levels of automation. The network technologies will back a growing mix of renewable power sources for Xcel Energy and optimize the delivery of electricity to its millions of customers. | In 2023, Nokia announced a new update in its optics portfolio with the sixth- generation super-coherent photonic service engine, PSE-6s, which can reduce network power consumption in optical transport by up to 60% per bit. We also announced Habrok massive MIMO radios, which offer improved energy efficiency by using up to 30% less energy through a combination of software, hardware and services. During the year we also communicated that we helped Vietnamese communications service provider MobiFone achieve overall energy savings of almost 14% in the first trial of our new Digital Design service. The service analyzes each individual cell in the network and recommends the most appropriate radio link power balance to reduce transmit power. Nokia joined with Orange under the Switch to Circular Economy Value Chains initiative, run by UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). The project aims to support corporates in accelerating their circularity efforts, including with their partners in developing countries. Nokia will work closely with Orange to further develop circular approaches in network equipment, including setting up a new refurbishment and repair center in Egypt, which will extend the lifetime of Nokia products. |

Accounting policies Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent, and the weighted average number of shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential ordinary shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share when they are determined to be antidilutive. |

Equity securities represent investments in equity funds and direct investments, which have quoted market prices in an active market. Fixed income securities represent direct investments in government and corporate bonds, as well as investments in bond funds, which have quoted market prices in an active market. Insurance contracts are customary pension insurance contracts structured under domestic law in the respective countries. Real estate investments are investments in commercial properties or real estate funds, which invest in a diverse range of real estate properties. Short-term investments are liquid assets or cash, which are being held for a short period of time, with the primary purpose of controlling the tactical asset allocation. Private equity net asset values (NAVs) are determined by the asset managers based on inputs such as operating results, discounted future cash flows and market-based comparable data. Assets invested in alternative asset classes such as private equity, real estate and absolute return, are measured using latest available valuations provided by the asset managers, reviewed by Nokia, and adjusted for subsequent cash flows. |

Customer-related balances Nokia aims to ensure the highest possible quality in trade receivables and contract assets as well as customer or third-party loan receivables. The Credit Risk Management Standard Operating Procedure, approved by the CFO, lays out the framework for the management of business-related credit risks. The Credit Risk Management Standard Operating Procedure sets out that credit decisions are based on credit evaluation in each business, including credit rating and limits for larger exposures, according to defined principles. Group level limit approvals are required for material credit exposures. Credit risks are monitored in each business and, where appropriate, mitigated on a case-by-case basis with the use of letters of credit, collaterals, sponsor guarantees, credit insurance and sale of selected receivables. |
The reversal of expected credit loss charged to the income statement in 2023 was EUR 16 million. The expected credit loss charged to the income statement was EUR 160 million in 2022 and EUR 10 million in 2021. |
