REPORTING SCOPE
KONE has chosen to report using the
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines
in order to facilitate easier comparison of
our performance with other companies
and to streamline our own corporate
responsibility reporting efforts. KONE has
published Sustainability Report annually
since 2008. The previous report was
published in June 2015.
The report follows GRI (G4) reporting
guidelines as far as they are applicable,
and covers economic, social, and
environmental responsibility. A table
detailing how this report complies with the
GRI guidelines is shown on pages 48–49.
We have self-declared our reporting to be
in accordance with the Core level.
The reporting period corresponds with the
calendar year and with KONE’s financial
year of January 1–December 31, 2015.
When developing the report content and
choosing indicators, the driver has been the
materiality to KONE’s operations. During
2015, we updated our 2013 assessment
of material sustainability topics and focus
areas for defining the report content (see
more on p. 14–15). KONE’s approach to
sustainability has also been described in
the Interview with the chairman and the
president and CEO on pages 4 –5, and in
the strategy description on page 8.
All major local and regional organizations
and all production units are included in
the reporting scope. All financial data and
a significant proportion of the employee-
related data has been collected through
KONE’s enterprise resource management
and financial reporting systems. All financial
figures presented in this report are based on
KONE Corporation’s consolidated and audited
Financial Statements for 2014 and 2015.
The personnel data is provided by our HR
organization– with the exception of the data
relating to gender and age distribution in
management.
The environmental data has been collected
from KONE’s 12 manufacturing units
worldwide and from 31 major country
organizations with sales, installation, and
service operations in Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and
North America. The collected environmental
data covers 86% (2014: 87%) of all KONE’s
employees and 100% of the employees
working at our manufacturing units. The
facilities related energy data collected from
the reporting country organizations has
been extrapolated for the entire KONE
organization. The goal is to gradually extend
our environmental reporting to cover all of
KONE.
Business air travel data has been collected
from 28 countries and extrapolated to
cover the entire KONE organization. Vehicle
fleet fuel consumption data has been
collected from 22 countries, covering 93%
of the total fleet. Product and spare parts
logistics data has been collected by KONE’s
corporate logistics team that also during
2015 developed a new in-house logistics
emission calculation system to replace the
previous system developed and managed
by external consultants. The logistics data
covers the transportation of products from
KONE’s manufacturing units to customers
and the transportation of modules that are
