Developing sustainable buildings

We offer solutions and expertise that help you achieve green building credits and certifications that increase building value.

We are pleased to have received recognition for our environmental and social sustainability performance, including a leader score for Climate in CDP and a Platinum medal in EcoVadis.

We have the widest range of ISO 25745 energy efficiency ratings for A class elevators and A+++ escalators.

Modernizing your elevators can deliver energy savings of up to 70%, while modernizing your escalator up to 50%. Our modernization solutions range from retrofitting LED lights to installing a completely new elevator with energy-regeneration technology.

We're constantly working to improve the energy-efficiency of our products and services. Our current machine room-less elevator is up to 90% more efficient than our elevators from the 90's.

Switch to KONE EcoDisc hoisting machines for 50-70% more efficiency than elevators with conventional traction.

Benefit from up to 35% in energy savings by recovering energy from daily elevator use.

Reduce energy consumption by up to 80% with LED and eco-efficient fluorecent lighting.

We maximize escalator and elevator energy efficiency by powering down your equipment when it is not in use.

High-efficiency motors minimize energy consumption at full speed and a special KONE designed TransVario drive can even further reduce energy consumption and oil usage.

Lubrication-free step chain means no oil. This means a cleaner escalator and surrounding environment, reduced fire risk, simpler cleaning and easier maintenance.

Our Sustainability Statement, published as part of KONE’s Annual Review, provides a comprehensive overview of our sustainability practices and discloses the environmental and social impacts arising from our business, and outlines our governance framework.

The Statement has been prepared pursuant to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and structured around European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) with the objective of providing transparent information on the material sustainability topics relevant for KONE.
