KONE is constantly aiming to improve the environmental efficiency of its delivery and installation processes. The ISO 14001 certification helps us take steps in the right direction.
ISO 14001 certification
At the end of March 2009, 90% of our production operations where certified according to the ISO 14001 standard and we are actively continuing the certification work in the rest of our operations. Our corporation offices were certified in February 2009 and KONE Australia and New Zealand is looking to be certified against the ISO 14001 by the end of 2009.
ISO 14001 is a series of international standards on environmental management. It provides a framework for the development of an environmental management system that helps companies deal efficiently with environmentally related issues. These include, for example, materials selection, installation, reduction of oil usage, and waste handling.
