Nokia signs 1.5-billion-euro sustainability-linked revolving credit facility
Nokia
has signed a 1.5-billion-euro (~$1.77 billion) five-year multi-currency
revolving credit facility
(RCF) with sustainability-linked pricing, which adjusts the margins based on the Finnish telecom gear maker's progress towards two key targets.
The new RCF, which includes two one-year extension options, has replaced the previous 1.41-billion-euro RCF agreement from June 18, 2019, Nokia said on Monday.
The targets, which will be observed annually and impact pricing in the following year, are Nokia's reduction of absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and reduction of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions.
'We're delighted with the strong support and commitment from our key banking partners in this refinancing transaction that connects our financing strategy with our sustainability priorities,' said Marco Wirén, chief financial officer, Nokia.
'We are committed to our climate transition plan, which is built to deliver efficiency and innovations in our value chain. Continuing to link the pricing of the revolving credit facility to our science-based climate goals is a strong step forward demonstrating our commitment to our sustainability targets,' said Subho Mukherjee, vice president of sustainability, Nokia.
Nokia said it is committed to reducing its Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions. The vendor has a net-zero target of 2040, which is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring that Nokia's
greenhouse gas emissions
targets and paths towards those targets are independently validated.

NHL-Seattle Kraken right wing Kaapo Kakko looks on during an NHL hockey game against the San Jose Sharks, Jan. 30, 2025, in Seattle (AP Photo/Lindsey Wasson, File) Kaapo Kärki Kakko was born on February 13, 2001, in Turku, Finland; his hockey roots run deep' raised by a businessman father and an educator mother. Kakko was taught the value of dedication early on. He joined TPS Turku's youth system and quickly outshined his peers. His breakout season in the Finnish Liiga came in 2018–19, where he tallied 22 goals in 45 games an astonishing feat for a teenager. Kaapo Kakko Scores Off The Faceoff For First Goal With Kraken Draft day glory and growing pains in New York The New York Rangers selected Kakko second overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He entered the NHL as a generational talent, but despite his sky-high potential. But he never fully took off during his five and a half seasons in New York. His play was often solid but inconsistent; he showed flashes of elite skill. But struggled with role definition and offensive production. In his final season with the Rangers, he scored 14 goals a number many felt fell short of expectations. Kaapo Kakko Is Proving the Rangers WRONG! Seattle Kraken place a bold bet on Kakko In a mid-season trade during 2024–25, Kakko landed in Seattle. The move seemed like a quiet reset until the Kraken stunned the NHL world by signing him to a three-year, $12.75 million contract in July 2025. Critics called it a gamble. Supporters saw it as an investment. Seattle's front office clearly believes Kakko can still become the star he was projected to be. With more responsibility and a fresh environment, the Kraken are hoping he'll thrive under pressure. The quiet life of Kaapo Kakko off the rink Despite the NHL spotlight, Kakko remains down-to-earth;he is currently single and values privacy. But maintains strong ties with his family in Finland; fluent in Finnish and English, he's also learning Swedish. His estimated net worth is $3 million, coming from his NHL salaries, endorsement deals. And small investments, and off the ice, he's known for supporting children's charities. And youth sports programs, particularly in his home country. FAQs How old is Kaapo Kakko in 2025? He is 24 years old. He's born on February 13, 2001. What team does Kaapo Kakko play for in the NHL? He currently plays for the Seattle Kraken, having been traded from the New York Rangers. What position does Kaapo Kakko play? He is a right winger. Why did the Kraken sign Kaapo Kakko to a $12.75 million contract? Seattle believes in his untapped potential and is giving him a fresh chance to break out as a top forward. With the Kraken backing him fully, Kakko now faces the biggest test of his career.
