BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
In line with KONE's strategic target of being a leader in
sustainability, our environmental approach supports the
ongoing green and digital transformation of the built
environment into smart eco-cities, low-carbon communities,
and net zero energy buildings.
We have defined our environmental ambition and
objectives as well as our commitment to environmental
sustainability in all activities in our Environmental Policy,
which is publicly available at kone.com.
In 2022, we launched our new Climate and Environmental
Excellence Program and started its implementation by
publishing training materials for KONE employees. The new
program covers four focus areas: partner with customer,
offering, operations and mindset and behavior. In line with our
Environmental Policy, we develop smart and sustainable
technologies for People FlowⓇ and aim to be the preferred
partner for environmentally sustainable urban environments.
We drive transformation towards sustainable, circular and
carbon neutral operations, and engage our employees,
customers, suppliers and partners on climate and
environmental action. The KONE Code of Conduct, the
Supplier Code of Conduct, the Distributor Code of Conduct
and the KONE Global Vehicle Fleet, Facility and Travel
Policies also set out environmental requirements relevant to
the operations of KONE or our partners.
KONE has a climate pledge with science-based targets for
significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions. We are
committed to a 50% cut in the emissions from our own
operations (scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2030, compared to a
2018 baseline. This target is in line with limiting global
warming to 1.5 C, which is currently the most ambitious
criteria for setting science-based targets. On top of these
ambitious emissions reduction targets, we aim to achieve
carbon neutral operations by 2030 by offsetting the remaining
emissions. In addition, we target a 40% reduction in the
emissions related to our products' materials and lifetime
energy use (scope 3 emissions) over the same period, relative
to orders received. KONE was the first to validate its science-
based targets against the latest climate science in the elevator
and escalator industry and KONE's targets are among the
most ambitious in the industry to date. With our climate
pledge, we are taking even stronger action and leading the
way in our industry to create more sustainable urban
environments.
