onecranes’ sustainability work has been rewarded with a Gold rating for a third straight year from EcoVadis, a business sustainability rating agency. Konecranes’
Head of sustainability at Konecranes, Anniina
Virta-Toikka, added: “Konecranes wants to lead the sustainability efforts in our industry. The EcoVadis Gold rating with the improved total score and our high placement among all rated companies, not just versus our peers, confirms that we are making clear, concrete progress towards this goal.” Konecranes says that it has distilled the material aspects of its operations into four commitments for sustainability: it enables a decarbonised and circular world; it delivers safe and secure material handling solutions; its creates a fair, inclusive, diverse and engaging working environment; and it expects the highest ethical standards of itself and its business partners. The company has set ambitious targets for all four areas, it says, and regularly monitors and reports its progress towards meeting those commitments.
