Top marks in
climate change
reporting
KONE received the best possible
score of 100 in the Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP) 2014 reporting. The
high score indicates excellent data
management and understanding
of climate change related issues
affecting the company – from
solutions to the company’s own
operations and the whole supply
chain. This was the fifth year KONE’s
achievements have been recognized
by CDP.
KONE’s long-term environmental
objectives are to further improve
the eco-efficiency of its solutions,
modernize existing elevators and
escalators to make them more
energy-efficient, and to further
reduce the environmental impact of
its operations – especially its carbon
footprint.
CDP is an international, not-for-
profit organization providing the only
global system for companies and
cities to measure, disclose, manage
and share vital environmental
information. CDP works with market
forces, including 767 institutional
investors with assets of USD 92
trillion, to motivate companies
to disclose their impacts on the
environment and natural resources
and take action to reduce them.
CDP now holds the largest collection
globally of primary climate change,
water and forest risk commodities
information.

Doing our bit
Little things matter in safety
An untied shoelace on an escalator, a
quick phone call while driving, using
faulty tools or not wearing the proper
equipment at work. At KONE, we
have found that most accidents are
caused by things we don’t worry
about, because they are too little
and too familiar. Millions of people
use our equipment every day, and
our top priority is to keep our
employees and end users safe.
KONE is an active
participant in
organizations that
develop codes,
standards, and guidelines
for improving safety,
accessibility, energy
efficiency, as well as
other organizations
that advance sustainable
development. These
include:
In addition to continuously
developing our people and processes,
we work together with our partners,
and actively communicate the safe use
of equipment to users. One way of
working toward our ultimate goal for
zero accidents is to provide education
material to equipment users and to
organize global events on safety. We
also educate children with the help of
KONE’s safety mascots Max and Bob.
