Working towards a
more eco-efficient
future for Mei and 6.8
billion other people.
Like many of us, Mei is concerned about
her carbon footprint and the energy
consumption of her workplace. As a
pioneer of eco-efficient solutions, KONE
has dedicated substantial effort to reducing
the total lifetime energy consumption of
elevators and escalators. By using KONE
eco-efficient solutions, Mei and her
colleagues are helping to ensure a more
sustainable future – for all of us.
