How we do business – the ABB Way

With our purpose at its core, the ABB Way is our operating model and defines “how” we create superior value for our stakeholders through our business areas, divisions and lean corporate center.

The ABB Way

With its decentralized set up, the ABB Way empowers our divisions with full ownership and accountability for their respective strategies, performance and resources, while serving as the “glue” that holds the Group together. Through its strong focus on performance management, it drives accountability, transparency and speed across our divisions.

 

By providing select standardized policies, processes and systems, the ABB Way supports a strong culture of governance and integrity, and enables us to build and protect our brand and reputation.

Our Values & Behaviors

Our values are the cornerstone of our culture at ABB.
