ELEVATOR and escalator firm KONE has committed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to reach carbon-neutral operations by 2030.

In its latest Sustainability Report, KONE pledged to work for a 50-percent cut in the emission from its operations and a 40-percent reduction in its products' materials and lifetime energy use compared to 2018. This is in line with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is currently the most ambitious criterion for setting science-based targets.
