Konecranes achieves first-ever Platinum rating from EcoVadis for its sustainability efforts

Konecranes' sustainability work has been rewarded with a Platinum rating from EcoVadis, the first time it has been ranked in the highest tier of the business sustainability platform. The improved overall score from a year ago put Konecranes in the top 1% of over 100,000 rated companies globally.

Konecranes improved in all measured areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. This reflects the successful ongoing execution of its sustainability agenda and the quality of the company's sustainability management system measured through three pillars: Policies, actions and results. EcoVadis' evidence-based assessment covers a broad range of non-financial management system impacts and sustainability performance. Prior to 2025, Konecranes received a Gold rating for four consecutive years.

"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. The execution of our sustainability agenda continues, and ratings like EcoVadis are increasingly important as they are used by our customers, for example, when choosing equipment and service partners," said Marko Tulokas, President and CEO, Konecranes.

Konecranes has distilled the material aspects of its operations into four commitments for sustainability: we enable a decarbonized and circular world; we deliver safe and secure material handling solutions; we create a fair, inclusive, diverse and engaging working environment; and we expect the highest ethical standards of ourselves and our business partners. The company has set ambitious targets for all four areas, and regularly monitors and reports its progress towards meeting those commitments.

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that help decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
