ABB recognizes social performance as a key to sustainable development and has included social performance management as an integral part of its corporate strategy. This goes further than simple compliance with government regulations and avoidance of liabilities. It represents a preemptive stance, with adaptation to country-specific needs, as a means of establishing competitive advantage.
Our social policy points the way for social performance management within ABB. Part of this is why ABB now has ISO 14001 implemented in 97% of our total locations.
ABB is actively engaged in initiatives to improve the sustainability. These relate to its own activities and also to participation in international common efforts.
