Bridging environmental sustainability and lean practices

Lyhyt kuvaus videosta

Environmental sustainability and climate action are integral components of Konecranes’ strategic objectives. Environmental sustainability focuses on minimizing environmental waste such as emissions resulting from energy consumption and raw materials, while traditional lean thinking emphasizes the elimination of non-value-added activities. Recognizing the clear synergies between these approaches, Konecranes is in the process of integrating environmental considerations into its Lean Six Sigma projects and continuous improvement tools.
