impact of
operations
KONE’s relative carbon footprint decreased by 4.1% with sales
growth calculated at comparable exchange rates (1.9% at
historical exchange rates). The carbon footprint of externally
assured scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions relative
to net sales decreased by 5.4% with sales growth calculated
at comparable exchange rates (3.3% at historical exchange
