KONE Sustainability Report 2017

KONE 2017 | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Driving innovation and improving resource efficiency 24 Waste optimization in the manufacturing chain KONE’s long-term target (2030) for waste management is 0% landfill waste at our manufacturing units. We aim to reduce the waste gener- ated by our manufacturing processes and offices by: • Optimizing manufacturing material use by effective use of robotics and automation • Reusing for example packaging materials • Recycling waste wherever possible. Waste is always handled according to applicable laws and regulations, and we aim to exceed legal requirements. 99.2% of the waste generated by KONE’s 13 man- ufacturing units in our environmental data collection scope was recycled or inciner- ated in 2017. Only 0.8% (2016: 9.7%) was landfilled. Material management In 2017, KONE used 737,200 tonnes (2016: 701,200) of materials for producing and packaging its elevators, escalators, and building doors. The figures have been cal- culated based on life cycle assessment data. We aim to continuously improve our data collection capabilities together with our suppliers in order to provide transparent and reliable information about the mate- rial content and environmental impacts of our products to our customers.

KONE uses municipal water and wastewater is released into municipal treatment systems that abide by local reg- ulations. As with material management, our aim is to improve our water data col- lection capabilities together with our sup- pliers by extending the data collection to our supply chain. Improving the eco-efficiency of our facilities KONE has over 1,000 facilities globally, including office spaces and installation and service operation hubs. Our facilities account for approximately 15% of our operational carbon footprint. We have a Global Facility Policy, which aims at a harmonized approach in the selection and management of our facili- ties, developing fit-for-purpose facilities and eco-efficient operations, and provid- ing a safe and secure work environment for KONE employees. According to the policy, our target is to reduce our facility-related carbon footprint by 15% by 2022 (base year 2017). Exam- ples of ways to achieve this target are: • Improving space efficiency • Optimizing energy usage in heat- ing, ventilating, air conditioning and lighting systems by using proximity sensors, LED lighting, power-saving practices for IT and office equipment • Increasing the share of green electricity to a minimum of 50% (onsite produc- tion or purchased renewable energy) • Setting up onsite renewable energy production at manufacturing units • Improving material efficiency (manu- facturing/warehousing/office activities) • Reducing waste and improving reuse and recycling • Preferring eco-efficient service suppliers. In addition, new KONE buildings should be designed according to LEED, BREEAM or other green rating systems. Green buildings should be favored when relo- cating KONE facilities to existing buildings. In 2017 water consumption at our manufacturing units was added to the assurance scope of KONE’s environmental data. 40% of global CO 2 emissions come from electricity consumption. Corporations are responsible for 50% of that.* *Source: World Resources Institute (WRI) 0% landfill waste at our manufacturing units in China, the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Mexico, and the Netherlands. In 2017 the landfill waste from our manufacturing was reduced to 120 tonnes in total (2016: 1,300 tonnes).
