  1. ThyssenKrupp Elevator Americas Sustainability Update May 2010 1

  2. The Built Environment Statistics from the American Institute of Architects: U.S. buildings consume 17% of the water, 33% of the energy, 40% of the raw materials, and 66% of the electricity worldwide, while contributing 40% of the landfill waste and 10% of the particulate emissions. 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. 2

  3. Our Values, culture and vision Our Culture: We are entrepreneurs who identify and take advantage of market opportunities by organizing our resources effectively to initiate sustainable growth and profits.

  5. Results and Priorities Green Customer Solutions Community partner Energy Efficiency Waste Nothing

  6. Green Customer Solutions Accomplishments • Repair and Modernization Packages for Existing Elevators & Escalators • LED Lighting – LED cab lighting is 90% more efficient then traditional incandescent lighting • EconoLight – Automated controls that turns off the cab lights and exhaust fans when not in use. • Motor Efficiency Controller – a power-saving device for escalator drives that continually monitors and applies the exact current needed to keep the motor running at full speed. • Regenerative Drives - permit the kinetic energy of the elevator to produce energy and feed that energy back into the building. • Holeless Hydraulic Elevator - reduces site disturbance and levels of oil needed. • Inherently Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil - provides a biodegradable hydraulic oil option.

  7. Waste Nothing • 70% reduction in VOC’s since 2008 • 100% recycling of scrap metal, lumber and cardboard • ISO 14001 Certification of both Middleton, TN & Walnut, MS manufacturing facilities • Urea-formaldehyde free particleboard is standard for cab interiors • 30% reduction in waste to landfill • Powder Coat System installed to significantly reduce VOC’s, particulate matter and waste. • Waste water recycling program instituted Accomplishments

  8. Energy Efficiency • Automated Energy Management System implemented at the Middleton, TN manufacturing facility. • Partnered with FORD motor company to encourage the use of the FORD Transit Connect, which maintain 37% better fuel economy than our current service vehicle, throughout our U.S. fleet vehicles • By September 2010, TKE will have 200 Transit Connects on the road, which will save up to 90,000 gallons of fuel per year Accomplishments • Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) completed on the following: • Hydraulic Elevator - 2 & 6 stops • Geared Traction - 12 stops • synergy 2 & 6 stops • Gearless Traction – 30 stop • Service/Repair/Modernization Business • Distribution Center & Logistics

  9. Community Partner • ThyssenKrupp offices have engaged in partnerships and programs that actively engage the communities and industry in which we operate. • Southwest Regional Senior Management Habitat for Humanity worked together to help a local family in need build a home for their future. • Brazilian Business Unit Releases Annual Social ReportAs part of the Americas Business Unit, Brazil represents approximately 500 offices across 22 Brazilian states.
