We published our Q2 2025 results today. KONE’s President and CEO Philippe Delorme said: Importantly, we achieved continued profitability improvement, with our adjusted EBIT margin rising to 12.2% for the quarter. A favorable business mix was the main driver, which helped to mitigate ongoing margin pressure in the Chinese new equipment market. We also made progress in initiatives related to sales and operations excellence, as well as procurement efficiency. I expect these efforts to contribute more meaningfully to our financial performance starting next year. As we move through the year, continuing to execute our strategy with courage and speed remains critical. While acknowledging trade policy related uncertainty, we see exciting pockets of growth in all of our markets. With our strong team and unwavering focus on delivering superior customer value, we are well positioned to seize the opportunities ahead.” Read more below 👇 #ShapingCities #PeopleFlow
Exciting news – we were recognized on CDP’s 2024 Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for our commitment to engaging suppliers in addressing climate change. 🌎 “We are delighted to be ranked among the top-performing companies worldwide regarding supplier engagement for driving climate action. By partnering actively with the suppliers that are accounting for the majority of KONE’s carbon emissions, our aim is to decrease the carbon footprint of the materials and components we source”, says Mikko Korte, our Executive Vice President, Supply Chain. Since over 99% of our emissions come from the product and value chain (scope 3), improving the energy and material efficiency in our products presents a significant opportunity to drive meaningful climate impact. #Sustainability #CDPSupplyChain #PeopleFlow #ShapingCities

At KONE, we recognize the importance of this day not just as a historical milestone, but as a reminder of the ongoing fight for inclusion. Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and celebration of the rich culture and contributions of the African American community.
