Theme description

Data is a key resource in sustainability transformations knowing the CO2-heavy phases of a product’s life helps us make the best decisions for mitigating emissions.

This applies to both retrospective reporting and real-time optimization. That is why we are looking for digital enablers that can make our operations more sustainable through easily accessible data, displayed on dedicated dashboards. Part of the KONE carbon neutral strategy is offsetting the remaining emissions that cannot be mitigated, and data is needed for our impact assessments.\n\nAs being a leader in sustainability has long been a strategic target for KONE, we are taking actions across the whole supply chain and the lifecycle of our products. We are looking for solutions that utilize data from our manufacturing processes or our customers’ people flow processes to support our strategy.
