corresponding standard for escalators and autowalks.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE PROgRAM
2014–2016
IMPROVINg THE ECO-EFFICIENCY
OF OUR FACILITIES
KONE has over 1,000 facilities globally,
including office spaces and installation
and service operation hubs. KONE has
a Global Facility Policy approved by
the Executive Board, which aims at a
harmonized approach in the selection
and management of our facilities. The
policy aims at developing fit-for-purpose
facilities and eco-efficient operations as
well as providing a safe and secure work
environment for all KONE employees.
Our goal is to reduce our facility-related
carbon footprint by 15% by the end
of 2016, (base year 2010). This will be
implemented by:
• Improving space efficiency at KONE
facilities
• Optimizing energy usage in heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, and in
lighting systems by using proximity
sensors and LED lights
• Deploying energy-saving practices for
computers and office equipment
• Increasing the share of green
electricity
• Improving material efficiency in
manufacturing, warehousing, and
offices
• Reducing waste and further
improving recycling
• Selecting eco-efficient service
suppliers
• In addition, new KONE buildings
should be designed according
to LEED or other green building
standards. Green buildings should
be chosen when relocating KONE
facilities to existing buildings
