Corporate responsibility focus areas
In 2013, we carried out a materiality analysis
to continue our work in defining the most
important corporate responsibility topics.
An online questionnaire was sent to over 200
respondents, including customers, investors
and analysts, industry associations, end users,
suppliers, employees, media representatives
and KONE’s Executive Board.
The response rate was 44% resulting in 94
responses. The results were analyzed and
grouped in a workshop including participants
from different corporate responsibility areas in
KONE and from the Executive Board.
The results are presented in the matrix below,
and the most important aspects are covered
in this report. A summary of these topics is
illustrated on the next page.
