We understand our economic responsibility as creating added value and an economic edge for our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders in our company’s business environment.
Shareholders and the financial community are important stakeholders for funding and ensuring the
sustainability of our economic development. We abide by our responsibility towards these stakeholders by conforming to our disclosure obligations as a publicly listed company and by providing transparent information about our business performance and future outlook, including factors that impact it. In addition to quarterly financial reporting, KONE’s senior management and investor relations personnel regularly meet with shareholders and investors.
Strong financial performance is a prerequisite for taking care of our social and environmental responsibilities. The current economic responsibility measurement is based on KONE Corporation’s consolidated and audited financial statements of 2007 and 2008.
