Company introduction
For over a century, we have enabled cities to grow taller, more accessible, and energy efficient. For us, leading in our industry also means leading in sustainability. Shaping cities, creating lasting impact Cities are at the heartbeat of modern life. Today, more than half of the planet’s population resides in cities – a number set to rise to two thirds by 2050. We believe that this urban growth must be sustainable, inclusive, and innovative – shaping communities where people thrive, while reducing the environmental impact from KONE and our customers. We envision smart and digitally connected cities where movement is seamless, energy resources are optimized, and people feel safe and included. In these cities, every innovation drives progress, every partnership fuels positive change, and we do not just adapt but actively shape a sustainable future. With our strategy, Rise, and our purpose to shape the future of cities, KONE’s ambition is to lead the industry – also in sustainability. Our sustainability leadership is about creating lasting impact, and we invite the world to rise with us.
