KONE’s operational environmental work
focuses on reducing our carbon footprint and
improving energy and material efficiency, as
well as reducing water consumption, waste
and the use of hazardous substances. We work
with our suppliers and customers to minimize
the emissions and other adverse environmental
impacts of our business operations and to
prevent them altogether whenever possible. In
order to address the areas that have the most
significant environmental impacts, KONE has
been assessing its carbon footprint since 2008.
In 2013 KONE’s absolute operational carbon
footprint amounted to 305 (2012: 288) ktCO
2
e
(thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent).
The increase is mainly a result of increased
employee headcount, sales and production
volumes.
In 2013 KONE’s operational carbon footprint
relative to net sales decreased by 3.5%
compared to 2012. The operational carbon
footprint of externally assured scope 1 and
scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions decreased by
9.1% relative to net sales. The absolute scope
1 and 2 carbon footprint decreased by 0.2%,
whereas KONE’s sales volumes increased by
10%.
With 131 (2012: 117) ktCO
2
e in 2013, the
major source of greenhouse gas emissions was
KONE’s logistics operations. The other major
components are our vehicle fleet with 86 (2012:
88) ktCO
2
e, electricity consumption with 45
(2012: 42) ktCO
2
e, fuels for heating and cooling
with 14 (2012: 15) ktCO
2
e, and mobility,
including business air travel and employee
commuting, with 29 (2012: 25) ktCO

e.
