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, objectives
and commitment to environmental sustainability in all activities
in our Environmental policy statement, which is publicly
available at kone.com. In 2021, we renewed both this
statement and our Environmental Excellence program, which
guides us towards our environmental targets, to improve
alignment with our heightened climate and environmental
ambition. In line with the statement, we develop smart and
sustainable technologies for People FlowⓇ and want to be the
preferred partner for environmentally sustainable urban
environments. We drive transformation towards sustainable,
circular and carbon neutral operations, as well as 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 its partners.
KONE has a climate pledge with science-based targets for
significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions and an aim
to have carbon neutral operations by 2030. 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 target 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 the most ambitious
in the industry to date. With the climate pledge, we are taking
even stronger action and leading the way in our industry to
create more sustainable urban environments.
We are taking strong actions across the supply chain and
work together with our suppliers to cut emissions, increase the
use of sustainable materials and limit the use of hazardous
