about our reporting scope on p. 46.

MATERIAL SUSTAINABILITY TOPICS

In our sustainability reporting, we follow

the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G4

guidelines. During 2015, we updated our

2013 assessment of material sustainability

topics and focus areas for defining the report

content. Back then, 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%, amounting

to 94 responses.

In 2015, material topics were recognized

by analysing industry and peer group

reporting, reporting guidelines and legislation

developments, results of the 2013 materiality

and stakeholder analysis, and by interviewing

KONE experts.

The identified topics were prioritized by KONE

experts based on their impact on the value chain,

business implications and stakeholder interest.

The KONE sustainability focus areas were

updated based on the materiality analysis results

and they were approved by selected members of

KONE’s management.

The results of the materiality analysis and

prioritization is presented in the below chart.

The structure of this report also corresponds

with these focus areas.

DEFININg THE FOCUS AREAS

Altogether 24 GRI G4 aspects were

recognized material when mapping

the KONE focus area content with

GRI G4 definitions. This mapping

is presented in GRI table on p.

48, including also the reporting

boundaries within KONE value chain
