One of the cornerstones of our good reputation is our dedicated and responsible personnel. Our approach to business is based on honesty, integrity and fair play. KONE’s activities are guided by our ethical principles detailed in the KONE Code of Conduct, which applies throughout KONE, including all subsidiaries, branches and other entities where KONE exercises management control.
An employee’s rights and responsibilities include the right to a safe and healthy working environment, the right to personal well-being, as well as the prohibition against discrimination. The KONE Code of Conduct addresses what kinds of behaviors are not tolerated, such as the prohibition against all forms of harassment.
The Code of Conduct also requires compliance with competition laws and serves as a guide on how to handle sensitive business information.
Since KONE strives to improve its solutions and services with the environment in mind, every KONE employee is responsible for considering the impact on the environment in everything he or she does. The Code of Conduct asks KONE employees to actively seek ways to work with KONE’s suppliers and customers to prevent or reduce business operation-related emissions and waste.
KONE has a Corporate Compliance Officer whose duties include addressing any employee questions or concerns related to the Code of Conduct. Our Corporate Compliance Officer works with our personnel to ensure that KONE remains committed to its core value of uncompromising integrity and the development of an ethical working culture.
