KONE continues to lead the way in sustainable building solutions, supporting Indonesia’s transition towards greener urban development
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, is proud to celebrate a significant milestone with the achievement of the Platinum Green Label in Indonesia, the highest rating awarded by Green Product Council Indonesia (GPCI). This recognition highlights the growing role of smart people flow solutions in supporting Indonesia’s journey towards more sustainable urban development.
The Platinum tier recognizes higher standards in circular economy practices, including the use of recycled materials and responsible end-of-life product management. While the certification marks an important milestone for KONE, it also reflects a broader transformation taking place across Indonesia’s built environment. Increasingly, developers, building owners and investors are seeking technologies that reduce energy consumption, minimise environmental impact and support long-term sustainability goals throughout a building’s lifecycle.
Commenting on the achievement Akhmadi Adiq, interim Managing Director, KONE Indonesia, said: “Indonesia’s rapid urbanization presents an opportunity to reshape how we design and construct the cities of the future. Sustainability now encompasses more than just the efficiency of building operations; it considers the entire lifecycle of a building, from design and construction to everyday use.
“As the first and only elevator and escalator company in Indonesia to achieve this certification, KONE is proud to set a high standard for sustainable building technology. More importantly, this certification underscores our commitment to supporting customers in designing, modernizing, and operating smarter, greener, and more resilient buildings that contribute to a more sustainable urban future for Indonesia.”
As buildings account for a significant share of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, sustainability is no longer determined solely by construction materials or architectural design. Every system within a building contributes to its overall environmental performance, including the way people move through it. By delivering innovative people flow solutions that support energy efficiency and sustainability throughout a building’s lifecycle, KONE is determined to contribute further to Indonesia’s vision for greener and smarter cities.
Yudiono, GPCI Chairman, also shared: “The Platinum Green Product Certification recognises products that meet the highest standards of environmental performance under our latest certification framework representing a significant step forward for Indonesia’s green building ecosystem. By introducing criteria related to circular economy principles and lifecycle responsibility, the framework encourages manufacturers to think beyond operational efficiency and consider how their products contribute to sustainability throughout their lifespan. This is an important evolution for the industry as a whole.”
For more than three decades, KONE has combined global expertise with deep local knowledge to support Indonesia’s urban development, maintaining a nationwide presence and contributing to some of the country’s most prominent residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. KONE continues to work closely with developers, building owners and communities to help create smarter, greener, and more sustainable buildings for future generations.
