KONE Philippines has started offering smart digital solutions to enable connectivity to buildings and carbon-neutral elevators and maintenance services.
This is part of KONE’s pledge to contribute to the global sustainability goals.
Dedicated to proactively addressing the impacts of climate change in the Philippines, KONE Philippines is a member of the Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC).
Together with the industry, PHILGBC developed the BERDE Program to develop the country’s own national voluntary green building rating system to facilitate green building projects in the country to inspire confidence and build trust in the industry.
As a partner for smart and sustainable buildings in the country, the KONE DX Class elevators provide healthy, low-emission interior materials, best-in-class energy efficiency, and full disclosure about the environmental impact of KONE’s solutions. KONE is actively working on reducing carbon emissions and compensates for carbon emissions that cannot be avoided.
KONE likewise leads the industry with its first carbon-neutral maintenance service to complement its carbon-neutral elevators. KONE Care DX is a maintenance service that includes compensation for the carbon emissions caused by KONE’s direct and indirect maintenance activities. KONE is working with South Pole, an industry leader in climate action. KONE has chosen to support recognized and certified carbon offsetting projects to offset emissions. The diverse range of selected projects includes forestry, renewables, and community-based emission reduction initiatives.
KONE Philippines established its operations in the Philippines in 1975 with its head office located in Makati City. It has then expanded its presence into four more cities, namely Pampanga, Cebu, Davao, and Iloilo.
