KONE

Game on! 🏅👩🦽👨🦯 As the excitement builds for the finale of the summer games in Paris, we’re not just celebrating athletic achievements; we’re also recognizing the city’s commitment to accessibility. The historic capital has been undergoing a major transformation to become more accessible for everyone including some 350,000 visitors with disabilities – and KONE France has been hard at work behind the scenes to make the arrival, moving about, and departure easier. Everything from AI to radars has been utilized to make the whole journey from the opening whistle to the final victory lap smooth and safe, allowing athletes, spectators, and staff to focus on what matters.

It’s International Dog Day! 🐶 Today is for all the pupsters great and small, and we want to celebrate with a compilation of our colleagues’ canine assistants.

Ready to touch the sky? 🏙☀☁ 678.9 meters tall, this building literally towers over the surrounding landscape – and the rest of the world. Malaysia’s Merdeka118 is officially the tallest building in Southeast Asia and second tallest on the planet. And the tallest project for KONE ever! Thanks to our fantastic teams, it now houses our cutting-edge destination control system, our fastest double-deck glass elevators reaching up to level 118, and escalators at our highest point yet at level 116. We invited Fred Mills and The B1M to meet our Senior VP of New Building Solutions for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, Basil Carlo-Stella, to explore this architectural and engineering marvel. Because when you build as tall as this, you have to get clever with the people flow – and that’s where we shine: https://kone.ws/3Mg0nEm #PeopleFlow #Merdeka118 #skyscraper

Tomorrow is a special day to honor our seniors for their invaluable contributions to society – it’s World Senior Citizen’s Day! 👴👵 And for us, this day is a reminder to reflect on a crucial part of our work: how we can make living in cities more inclusive, accessible, and safe for our seniors. 💙🤝 Our buildings are going to be around for a while, so modernization is a must. By using prefab solutions, cutting-edge innovations, and creative designs, we can weave accessibility and inclusivity into the very fabric of our cities. Because for us, this commitment to accessibility and inclusivity isn’t just a one-time thing – it’s part of our daily work. And the more people, companies, and groups that get involved, the more we can achieve together. Happy World Senior Citizen’s Day! #PeopleFlow #WorldSeniorCitizensDay #accessibility #inclusivity

We got to join our friends and colleagues at India Day in Helsinki yesterday – what a day it was! 🎆 This year marks 75 years of friendship, diplomatic relations, and partnership between India and Finland – and 40 years of KONE operations in India! India has a central place in the history of KONE and the hearts of our colleagues. Out of our 63,000+ employees, over 6,800 are Indian, and nearly 100 of them have made KONE’s native Finland their home. We believe that embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion is key to fostering innovation and growth, and the rich cultural exchange between our teams in India and Finland really shows this. As our EVP, Technology and Innovation Tomio Pihkala said at the event, India’s energy and optimism are unmatched and central in creating innovative products and solutions as well as an inspiration to us all. Here’s to many more years of friendship between India and Finland! 🤝💙 #intiapaiva #indiaday #LifeAtKONE Chand Malu Radhika Joshi Sivaraman J Sofiya Utge Ashish Agrawal
