Platinum rating boosts Konecranes sustainability drive

The recognition places Konecranes in the top 1% of more than 100,000 companies assessed globally for their sustainability performance.

“This milestone is the result of excellent work across the entire company and reflects the steady and positive progress we have made in delivering on our sustainability commitments,” said Marko Tulokas, president and CEO of Konecranes.

He added that such independent ratings increasingly influence customer decisions when selecting port equipment and service providers.

Measurable results

EcoVadis evaluates businesses on environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, with Konecranes improving across all areas.

The rating highlights the company’s strong sustainability management system, built on policies, actions and measurable results.

Konecranes has outlined four key sustainability commitments: Enabling a decarbonised and circular world, delivering safe and secure material handling solutions, creating an inclusive workplace and upholding the highest ethical standards.

These commitments are supported by ambitious targets and regular progress reporting.

The platinum rating underscores Konecranes’ leadership in tackling port emissions and driving innovation in sustainable port equipment.

By investing in digitalisation and technology, the company said it continues to enhance material flows, support decarbonisation and promote circularity in global supply chains.

It’s also a demonstration of the commitment of Konecranes’ growing focus on the role of corporate social responsibility in shaping the future of port sustainability.
