At least 80% of supply spending in focus countries9 covered by Sustainable Supply Base Management (SSBM) by 2030   n.a. Using a risk-based approach, a mid-term 2025 target has been set, focusing on high-risk suppliers in focus countries.9
At least 80% of spending on high-risk suppliers in focus countries9 covered by SSBM by 2025 n.a. In 2023, we reached 42% of spending on high-risk suppliers in focus countries covered by SSBM. At the end of 2024, 68% of high-risk supply spending in focus countries was covered by the SSBM program.
Linking sustainability targets to executives’ variable pay
  Under the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), a safety goal was included within the individual measure for some member of ABB’s Executive Committee (EC). The individual measure had a weighting of 20 percent of the executive’s target AIP (2019). Under the AIP, at least two sustainability-related performance goals are included within the individual measure for each member of ABB’s EC. The individual measure has a weighting of 20 percent of the executive’s target AIP. Under the AIP, in 2024, all members of the Executive Committee (EC) had three sustainability goals (out of a maximum of three) in the individual measure of their respective plans. The individual measure has a weighting of 20 percent of the executive’s target AIP award. In 2024, all EC members had an environmental goal referring to scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction. In addition, all EC members had a governance goal designed to help deliver ABB’s obligations under the Deferred Prosecution Agreement. Most EC members also had a social goal, which for the CEO and business area presidents related to safety, and for most corporate officers was an increase in the proportion of women in senior management roles (female leaders), while the CFO had a governance goal (related to internal controls).
Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), two performance measures with equal weighting of 50 percent were considered, namely average earnings per share and relative total shareholder return.  The LTIP was awarded to around 100 executives, including EC members and division presidents. Vesting under the LTIP was subject to the achievement of the plan specific targets over a period of three years (2019). One of the three performance measures under ABB’s LTIP is based on achievement of a corporate sustainability target and carries a weighting of 20 percent. The LTIP is awarded to around 100 executives, including EC members and division presidents. Vesting under the LTIP is subject to the achievement of the plan specific targets over a period of three years. Performance Share Units (PSU) under our LTIP are granted to around 100 executives, including EC members and division presidents. Vesting of the PSU grants is subject to the achievement of the plan’s specific targets over a period of three years. One of the three performance measures under the LTIP is based on the achievement of a corporate sustainability target and carries a weighting of 20 percent. For the 2024 LTIP, the sustainability performance measure was ABB scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction at the end of the three-year performance period (2024–2026), compared to the 2019 baseline.

Note: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are presented in metric kilotons (kt) carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e) or metric megatons (mt), where 1 metric kiloton CO₂e equals 1000 metric tons CO₂e and 1 metric megaton CO₂e equals 1000 metric kilotons CO₂e.

Waste is presented in metric tons (t) and metric kilotons (kt).

  2. Data covers incidents that happened at the workplace (ABB facility, customer site, project site) and incidents that occurred during business travel.
  3. Rates are per 100 employees or per 200,000 contractor hours worked. Own workforce in the rates is defined as persons who are permanent or temporary employees, working full time or part time, in the employment of an ABB Group Company (ABBGC).
    Persons hired via work agencies where ABB provides supervision, defines work to be done, and provides training are also included in this category.
  4. Recordable incidents include fatal incidents, lost time incidents, serious injury incidents, medical treatment injuries, occupational diseases and restricted work-day cases.
  5. SOTs are typically conducted by all line managers at all levels.
  6. Rate per manager.
  7. Rate is calculated per employee.
  8. Rate of days lost is calculated as number of days lost divided by the number of incidents.

Human rights and labor standards

We are committed to respecting the dignity and human rights of all people. Our goal is for human rights to be well understood and managed along our entire value chain and integrated into ABB's daily business. In 2024, we continued our work to strengthen our human rights due diligence across ABB’s entire value chain.

Human Rights and Labour Standards

Indicator description 2024 2023
Human rights self-assessments at selected ABB sites In operations, we have published the new Human Rights Requirements and ACOP (Approved Code of Practice) to enhance human rights due diligence in ABB operations. This initiative will be followed up by a new wave of site assessments to ensure execution of defined requirements. In total, 78 sites in 39 countries undertook the assessments in 2023, for a total of 186 assessments in 47 countries in the period 2021–2023.

Collective bargaining agreements

Approximately 45 percent of ABB’s employees worldwide are covered by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), either by collective labor agreements at the industry level (generally with unions) or at the company or location level (generally with employee representative bodies such as works councils or unions). Approximately 34 percent of employees are covered by internal employee representatives. In addition, the European Works Council represents more than 50,000 ABB employees, covering the majority of employees in countries belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA), UK or Switzerland.

 

For employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, there are different scenarios regarding the determination of working conditions. In many countries where not all employees are represented by the CBA, the conditions in the CBA that go beyond local labor market practices are considered in determining working conditions and terms. Regardless of the application of a CBA, ABB in general aims to offer working conditions that meet or exceed the typical standards in the respective local employment markets.

The majority of ABB’s employees worldwide are covered by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), either by collective labor agreements on industry level (generally with unions) or on company or location level (generally with employee representative bodies such as works councils or unions). Approximately 55 percent of employees are covered by internal employee representatives, and approximately 27 percent are estimated to be members of one or more of 90 trade unions around the world. In addition, the European Works Council represents more than 48,000 ABB employees, covering the majority of employees in countries belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA), UK or Switzerland.

 

For employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, there are different scenarios regarding the determination of working conditions. In many countries where not all employees are represented by the CBA, among other factors the conditions in the CBA that go beyond local labor market practices are considered in determining working conditions and terms. Regardless of the application of a CBA, ABB in general aims to offer working conditions that at least meet or even exceed the typical standards in the respective local employment markets.

  1. Turnover rate calculated as number of ABB employees (full- and part-time) leaving during the year/total number of ABB employees (full- and part-time) as at December 31. For the purpose of this calculation, employees who leave the organization voluntarily or involuntarily whether due to dismissal, retirement, end of fixed-term contract or death in service or any other reason, are included. However, involuntary turnover arising out of divestments is excluded from the definition.
  2. Scope includes centrally managed tools such as My learning, Harvard Spark, Harvard Manager Mentor, LinkedIn Learning. It covers both leadership and functional/technical learnings. Data are based on the extractions from the respective tools for internal employees (office workers and factory ones).
  3. Top and senior managers are defined as employees in Hay grade 1-7, including Division President. Middle and lower managers: Other line managers; Other employees: Individual contributors not considered as managers.
  4. Rate is calculated per employee.
  5. The calculation of performance review data is based on the population included in the global people performance management system (HR Group Tools). 100% of top and senior managers, as well as middle and low managers, are covered in the HR Group Tools system, along with 61% of other employees. This is the only centralized reporting of performance management data that can be quantified and verified, and it represents the eligible population.
  6. The people performance management consists of one mandatory objective setting event, three optional review window events and one mandatory year-end evaluation event. At the same time employees can have additional performance management events with their line managers, depending on the voluntary usage of the optional performance review windows during the year, for which participation is strongly encouraged. The optional performance review windows are globally communicated to our workforce regularly.
  7. To ensure consistency, the 2023 gender data has been restated to align with the eligible population used across all categories in the 2023/2024 cycle.

 

Biodiversity

ABB monitors the potential negative impact of our business activities on biodiversity, for example through pollution of air, water and soil. We aim to help protect the environment by reducing waste through our products and services, which in turn lowers environmental impacts such as air and water pollution. We have established a Waste, Water & Biodiversity Working Group that will ensure best practices sharing and the update and implementation of relevant mandatory procedures.

EU Taxonomy

2024 ABB assessment results under the EU Taxonomy

EU Taxonomy

In 2024, we conducted a thorough assessment of our revenue streams to evaluate their alignment with the EU Taxonomy criteria. This process involves three key elements:

  1. Substantial Contribution: Demonstrating a significant positive impact toward climate or environmental objectives.
  2. Do No Significant Harm (DNSH): Ensuring our activities do not cause significant harm to other environmental objectives.
  3. Minimum Safeguards: Ensuring minimum governance standards and compliance with social norms, including human and labor rights.

Our analysis revealed that 19% of our revenues in 2024 substantially contributed to the EU Taxonomy objective of climate change mitigation. Despite this positive outcome, we are unable to reach full alignment with the EU Taxonomy requirements due to challenges in meeting the generic DNSH criteria related to pollution. 

 

ABB has robust processes and systems to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, including RoHS and REACH compliance. However, DNSH criteria for pollution pose challenges due to differences between the required criteria and existing applicable sectoral legislation. While an evaluation against the criteria is underway, we cannot yet reliably confirm criteria fulfillment for all relevant products, and we currently cannot indicate when this will occur. 

 

The full set of disclosures for financial year 2024 can be found in the Environmental section of our latest Sustainability Statement.

 

Outlook

 

ABB welcomes the significant progress made over the past years in expanding the EU Taxonomy to include many critical activities, such as manufacturing of electrical equipment, which are essential for advancing a resilient, electrified and decarbonized energy system. This expansion is an important step toward aligning sustainable activities with the needs of the energy transition.

Nonetheless, we believe the EU Taxonomy could even better recognize and acknowledge the manufacturing sector's significant efforts toward adopting more sustainable practices. While seeking to encourage manufacturers to further enhance their sustainability ambitions, the EU Taxonomy must balance ambition with practicality and technological feasibility to not undermine its relevance and usability.

We acknowledge the complexity of developing a unified, comprehensive classification system for sustainable activities and recognize that this will remain work in progress. At ABB, we remain committed to supporting the refinement of the EU Taxonomy and welcome the efforts of the EU Commission to overcome ambiguities and inconsistencies in the EU Taxonomy itself and to streamline it with the other EU Sustainability Reporting requirements via the “Omnibus Regulation”. By addressing the current usability challenges, the EU Taxonomy has the potential to become a powerful driver of sustainable investments and meaningful progress toward a greener future.
