Last year KONE Americas began working toward reducing our vehicle emissions by 50% in the U.S. and Canada as part of our Global Climate Pledge. This is a step toward our larger goal to Cut Carbon for a more sustainable future. Our team decided to replace higher emission vehicles with hybrid Ford Maverick pickups. By the end of 2024, we had successfully added 100 Ford Maverick vehicles to our fleet, and we’re excited to roll out 700 more in 2025. “We are proud of these steps toward a net-zero future. By reducing our emissions, we are taking a sustainable, safe and employee-focused approach toward achieving our goals,” says Corey Ward, SVP Safety, Quality, and Environment. “As a leader in the industry, we are doing our part to protect our planet and align with the needs of our customers.” #KONE #CutCarbon #Sustainability #LifeatKONE
Did you know that every year, humans produce between 2.1 billion and 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste? 🚮 At KONE, we focus on reducing materials, energy, and resources. We aim for 0% landfill waste at our factories by 2030. Recently, as the first elevator company in China, our Kunshan factory achieved a Zero Waste to Landfill Platinum Operations certification. Working with stakeholders to eliminate and reduce non-recyclable packaging, our team managed to reduce sludge generation, improve general waste sorting and introduce other zero waste-management actions. Well done! 👏🏻💙 Last year, in ten of our factories, 99% of the waste was recycled or incinerated – only 0.5% was put into landfill. We will continue working hard on reaching zero waste and shaping sustainable future cities. 🏙️🌏 #InternationalDayOfZeroWaste #ZeroWaste #PeopleFlow #ShapingCities #Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at KONE, and there’s a lot more we’d like to share on how we’re shaping the future of cities.
