Sustainability Update May 2010
The Built Environment
ThyssenKrupp Elevator’s response:
We have just completed a thorough life-cycle-analysis that clearly
illustrates
• Gate-to-Cradle: the use cycle of an elevator has a greater
environmental impact than
• Cradle-to-Gate: the entire manufacturing process.
Therefore we are focusing on reducing our own environmental
footprint as a company, while reducing the operating impacts of
both NEW and EXISTING elevators.
