The purpose of our sustainability reporting is to demonstrate transparency and accountability in managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. These reports help our stakeholders understand KONE’s impact and long-term strategy for sustainable growth. By committing specific sustainability objectives, we can identify risks and opportunities, drive innovation, and demonstrate accountability in addressing global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity.
