KONE's sustainability page outlines its approach to cutting carbon emissions from its own operations and helping customers decarbonize buildings. The built environment accounts for about 40% of global carbon emissions, and KONE focuses on improving energy and material efficiency of elevators, escalators, and related services. The strategy includes circular economy practices through modernization services that extend product life and reduce waste across a building's lifecycle from construction to end-of-life recycling. The page highlights that reducing emissions requires a holistic view of a building's lifecycle, not just operational energy use. KONE aims to support customers in meeting climate targets by offering solutions that lower emissions in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects like metro stations. This is relevant for anyone tracking corporate climate commitments, building decarbonization, or industrial efficiency improvements in the built environment.
