Inclusion and diversity

Fair, inclusive, diverse, and engaging working environment

We strongly believe that diverse teams, which represent the multicultural communities we operate in, create the best results, and that a working environment where everyone can be themselves is an essential part of Konecranes’ mission of consistently delivering a world-class customer experience. We consider the variety of talents and backgrounds to be one of the key assets to drive our success as a company. The different skill sets nourish creativity and value creation, and help deliver results.

How we do it?

We follow an inclusion index, which positions us among the top companies in the area. Our people processes and policies support inclusive recruitment practises. In addition, we raise awareness through our own tailored trainings and internal discussions. In these, we have placed special focus on unconscious bias that creates barriers for women and underrepresented groups. It’s part of our commitment to conduct responsible business, where people can have fair opportunities and enter a workplace where equity is the norm. 

Inclusion and diversity initiatives 

Promoting inclusion

We are promoting inclusion for all people – no matter gender identity, sexual orientation and disabilities. Through training sessions, open forums, and collaboration activities, we drive initiatives to improve mental health, raise awareness of hidden diversity (e.g. disabilities, gender identity), and create a more inclusive workplace for all.  

Promoting STEM careers

We actively encourage people to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) by offering networking opportunities, mentoring, and internships, various entry level opportunities, aiming to be an attractive workplace for people in STEM. 

Advancing gender balance in Leadership positions 

Gender balance in leadership enhances decision quality, innovation, customer alignment, and employer attractiveness. At Konecranes, this is not a program but a systematic, business driven approach. It is a strategic advantage for sustainable performance. Strengthened talent pipelines, inclusive recruitment, inclusive development and mentoring, and leadership accountability are key enablers, where we work systematically. 


Bringing inclusivity into STEM fields 

At Konecranes, we are committed to building an inclusive work environment where everyone – regardless of gender – can thrive. We recognize the importance of increasing representation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly for women and other underrepresented groups. 

We are systematically advancing this effort for the entire organization by narrowing the gap through targeted initiatives such as leadership development and mentoring programs, internships and apprenticeships, and curriculum partnerships with educational institutions. We also celebrate and support the women at Konecranes who serve as role models – encouraging young generations to pursue STEM careers and empowering those already in the field. Their stories inspire the next generation and help shape a more inclusive future.
