Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 108,600,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1,400,000 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions, approximately 11,555,700,000 kg CO2e, originated from Scope 3, which includes emissions from business travel, use of sold products, and purchased goods and services. KONE has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. This target is part of their science-based targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, which also include a 40% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per ordered product over the same timeframe. Additionally, KONE plans to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 33% in 2018 to 100% by 2030. In previous years, KONE's emissions were notably higher, with 2023 emissions reported at approximately 12,692,300,000 kg CO2e and 2022 at about 13,206,300,000 kg CO2e. The company has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, with a target of a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2024 compared to the 2018 baseline. KONE's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by its participation in the Paris Pledge for Action, reinforcing its dedication to limiting global warming in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.
