An energy-efficiency leader

An energy-efficiency leader

KONE was the first elevator and escalator company to achieve A class energy efficiency certification through the international ISO 24745 standard. We have pioneered elevator energy efficiency technology including regenerative drive, standby solutions, and the revolutionary KONE UltraRope®. KONE UltraRope® can cut the energy consumption of a 500-meter elevator ride by up to 15%. We have pioneered sustainable escalator technology such as the TransVario drive that can reduce escalator energy consumption by up to 16% and significantly minimise oil consumption, improving sustainability and reducing total cost of ownership.

Escalator and elevator energy efficiency solutions

We are committed to maximising energy efficiency for environmentally sustainable buildings. We offer sustainable solutions for all buildings ranging from retrofitting LED lights to a completely new elevator with energy-regeneration technology.

img_sustainability-escalators_668x376

High-efficiency drive systems for escalators

High-efficiency motors minimise energy consumption at full speed and a special KONE designed TransVario drive can even further reduce energy consumption and oil usage.

img_sustainability-step-chain_668x376

Lubrication-free escalator step chain

Lubrication-free step chain means no oil. This means a cleaner escalator and surrounding environment, reduced fire risk, simpler cleaning and easier maintenance.

Circular economy

We focus on reducing the materials, energy and other resources used in our solutions and operations. Currently, 90% of the metals used in our products can be recycled. And by providing customers with reliable and energy-efficient equipment that has a lifetime of over 25 years, KONE plays an important role in supporting sustainable buildings by keeping valuable resources in use for as long as possible.

Reaching zero

Now more than ever, it’s vital we work together to reduce emissions and focus on creating sustainable cities that last for future generations. KONE has set science-based targets for a significant reduction in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pledged to have carbon-neutral operations by 2030. We aim for a 40% reduction in emissions related to our products' materials and lifetime energy use by 2030 (relative to orders received) and we have committed to a 50% cut in the emissions from our own operations.

img_sustainability-maintenance_668x376

Carbon neutral maintenance

KONE is committed to taking concrete steps towards greener equipment maintenance. That's why we're moving towards a low-emission service car fleet and using predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned maintenance visits. For KONE DX elevators we also compensate the remaining emissions caused by direct and indirect maintenance activities through a verified carbon offsetting program.
