About us
Thinking and acting in a sustainable manner is vital for everyone – always. The same applies for us here at Konecranes. In 2022, we continue to make lifting and material flows more productive and sustainable. Uncompromised safety, high ethics and inclusiveness keep driving us. And together we work for a decarbonized and circular world for customers and society. Thus, we set very ambitious targets for 2022.
Climate Action and resource efficiency is one vital focus area as we do not have Planet B. The climate crisis demands actions now, and we are fully committed to be a part of the solution. We target both our own operations and value chain to reduce our overall climate impact.
Doing business with the highest ethical standards is the core of Responsible Business Conduct. The focus in 2022 is to train our employees on all relevant Compliance and Ethics topics, e.g. Code of Conduct and data protection and advancing the healthy speak up culture.
We make sure everyone gets to go home safe, every day is our main ambition in the Safe workplace, safe products focus area. In 2022, we continue to highlight the importance of making observations to eliminate all hazardous conditions and unsafe behaviours before they cause an incident. We will also carry on promoting the Life-Saving Behaviours (LSB). The LSBs are all about the safe ways of working – they are the expectations around the way we work to keep ourselves and others safe.
