Decarbonizing hoist and crane production

At Konecranes, we are committed to environmental responsibility and always strive to minimize the impact of our operations and products.

Minimizing the overall environmental impact of our products means also looking at their manufacturing processes. So, what does Konecranes do there?

Crane’s lifecycle phase: Manufacturing

Manufacturing processes can affect the environment by using up raw materials, consuming energy, and creating waste. Our certified environmental management systems support us in continuously improving energy and material efficiency, mitigating environmental risks, and minimizing waste at our manufacturing plants. Konecranes has set ambitious Science-Based Targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations and from the value chain that are in line with the goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
