     $okia recenty announced a green marketing initiati*e in !ndia- From Lanuary 7, the

    comany is taking +ack used mo+ies and chargers from the customers for recycing- The

    camaign tited as Take8Back camaign is a uni.ue socia resonsi+iity initiati*e +y this

    market eader-

  • 8/9/2019 A Study on Green Marketing Initiative by Leading Corporation Takin Nokia as Case

    24/79

    2nder this camaign, the comany is encouraging the mo+ie users to gi*e their od,

    unused, +roken mo+ies and chargers for recycing- The camaign is initiay aunched in

    Bangaore, ehi, #urgaon and "udhiana and %i +e e=anded to nationa e*e in

    coming months-

     $okia has instaed 7;66 recyced +ins at the $okia /riority deaers across these iot

    markets- $okia aso romises to ant one tree for e*ery mo+ie dumed- Another 

    interesting fact is that the comany accets mo+ies of any make-

    This is a +est ractice +ecause the +rand is addressing an issue roacti*ey- E8%aste is

    going to +e one of the %orst en*ironmenta haards in years to come- Mo+ies contri+ute

    hea*iy to%ards this %aste- !ndia +eing the fastest gro%ing mo+ie market in the %ord,

    this issue is going to +e of mammoth sie in the future-

    The Take8Back camaign is aimed at educating eoe on the necessity of reducing e8

    %aste through recycing- The concet of recycing is not ouar in !ndia and $okia %ants

    to set an e=ame-

    The camaign is aso roacti*e +ecause $okia is the indisuta+e market eader in

    !ndia %ith a share of :6 K in the mo+ie hone market- So the +rand is resonsi+e for 

    contri+uting to the iing e8%aste %ith regard to mo+ie hones-

  • 8/9/2019 A Study on Green Marketing Initiative by Leading Corporation Takin Nokia as Case

    25/79

    5

    Athough $okia says that the recycing %i he the comany in ac.uiring fresh ra%

    materias, the ne% camaign is more of a socia resonsi+iity initiati*e rather than a

     +usiness one-

    By aunching such an initiati*e, the +rand is aso gi*ing an imortant esson to other 

    marketers- The esson is a+out ong term in*estment on +rands- This take8+ack camaign

    is not going to generate any short 8term +enefits for the +rand- Of course it had gi*en

    some ositi*e /R for the +rand +ut nothing more and nothing ess- !ndian consumers are

    not *ery thried +y green marketing initiati*es +ecause of ack of a%areness0concern-

    Second this camaign is aso e=ensi*e +ecause $okia has to +uid an infrastructure to

    suort this take8+ack- The +enefits %i come may +e in future %hen consumers reaie

    that the +rand ha*e foreseen such an en*ironmenta crisis and took roacti*e measures to

    reduce that- $o%, ho% many +rands %i e*er think of such an in*estment

    !n future comanies %i +e made resonsi+e for such accumuation of %astes- !n

    de*eoed countries, strict rues are no% in force to check the roiferation of such %astes-

    !ndia too %i mo*e to such a reguated regime in near future- Hence it makes sense for a

    market eader to initiate such a camaign- !t increases the +rand e.uity (in future and aso

     reares a ro+ust green ogistics infrastructure for the future- #reen ogistics is denotes

    the ogistica infrastructure to coect +ack the roducts from the customers for recycing

    or reair-

    The organiation may aso +oost saes +y o%ering rices if demand is

    additions to the market instead of +eing tod %hat is ne% (this is +ecause hones ha*e
