Cell Impact AB (publ), a Swedish global supplier of advanced flow plates to fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturers, has recently secured a follow-up order from a leading industrial player in Asia. This agreement underscores the company's growing influence in the Asian market and the effectiveness of its patented Cell Impact Forming™ technology. The deal involves the delivery of flow plates and a test tool designed for manufacturing customized flow plates, with the total order value amounting to MSEK 0.6.

The successful tests of Cell Impact Forming™ by the Asian customer have paved the way for this new agreement, highlighting the technology's scalability and cost-efficiency compared to traditional forming methods. 'This is a process we have seen before. Successful tests of Cell Impact Forming™ lead to new business, which in turn is a prerequisite for future volume production,' stated Daniel Vallin, CEO of Cell Impact. The delivery is scheduled for the second quarter, marking another milestone in the company's expansion strategy.

Cell Impact Forming™ stands out as an environmentally friendly technology, consuming no water and minimal electrical power. This aspect, combined with its cost and scalability advantages, makes it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to innovate in the fuel cell and electrolyzer sectors. The technology's success in Asia is a testament to its global appeal and potential for widespread adoption.

The company's shares are listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, with FNCA Sweden AB serving as the Certified Advisor. This latest deal not only reinforces Cell Impact's position in the Asian market but also sets the stage for future collaborations and volume production opportunities. As the demand for sustainable and efficient manufacturing solutions grows, Cell Impact's innovative approach positions it as a key player in the industry's evolution.

Nokia has taken a significant step forward in its sustainability journey by securing a €1.5 billion five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) that ties the cost of borrowing to the company's environmental performance. This innovative financial instrument underscores Nokia's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, with the margin of the RCF adjusting based on the company's progress toward cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its operations and value chain.

The new RCF, which replaces a previous €1.412 billion facility from 2019, includes two one-year extension options and links the pricing mechanism to two key sustainability targets: the reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, and the reduction of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions. These targets will be assessed annually, with any adjustments to the RCF margin impacting the following year, thereby incentivizing Nokia to meet its environmental objectives.

Marco Wirén, Nokia's Chief Financial Officer, expressed enthusiasm for the strong backing from banking partners in this refinancing transaction, highlighting the alignment of Nokia's financing strategy with its sustainability priorities. Subho Mukherjee, Vice President of Sustainability at Nokia, further emphasized the company's dedication to its climate transition plan, which aims to foster efficiency and innovation throughout its value chain.

Nokia's ambitious net-zero target by 2040, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), is a testament to the company's long-term commitment to environmental stewardship. The detailed operational approach to reducing GHG emissions, as outlined in Nokia's Net-Zero climate transition plan, reflects a comprehensive strategy to decarbonize its operations and supply chain. This latest financial move not only reinforces Nokia's sustainability agenda but also sets a precedent for how corporations can integrate environmental goals into their financial strategies.
