KONE in brief
KONE is one of the global leaders in the elevator and escalator industry. The company has been committed to understanding
the needs of its customers for the past century, providing industry-leading elevators, escalators and automatic building doors
as well as innovative solutions for modernization and maintenance. The company’s objective is to offer the best People Flow
®
experience by developing and delivering solutions that enable people to move smoothly, safely, comfortably and without waiting
in buildings in an increasingly urbanizing environment. KONE is present in over 150 countries with more than 43,000 dedicated
employees and distributors to serve you globally and locally.
www.kone.comSustainable practices have been an integral aspect of KONE’s
business for many years. Every day, our people flow solutions
help to address the challenges created by urbanization, climate
change, demographic change and increased safety demands.
We connect sustainability to everything we do. By continually
improving the eco-efficiency and safety of our solutions
and operations, we can have a major impact on sustainable
development.
In the area of environmental responsibility, our biggest
opportunity to contribute is by minimizing the energy consumption
of our products. In this respect, KONE is a clear leader in its industry.
We have also made good progress in safety, and our objective
is to promote a zero-accident culture. This applies to employee
safety as well as to the safety of the users of our equipment.
I strongly believe we are on the right track. We receive positive
feedback on our sustainability efforts in our employee survey
and in our customer loyalty survey. External organizations have
acknowledged our achievements, too. Most recently, KONE
was named the 12th greenest company in the world in a study
conducted by
Newsweek
and we scored full marks in the
2014 CDP reporting.
As we move forward, we continue to develop KONE in a
profitable, responsible and transparent manner. This long-term
mindset will help us stand out in the competitive marketplace.
Sustainability equals
competitive advantage
