- Where base year applies.
- Scope 3 Category 1 2024 values have been restated to reflect a refined methodology for the impact of currency conversion as well as an adjustment of emission factors for some spend categories.
- Avoided emissions status is cumulative for 2022-2025 and 2022-2024, respectively.
- Product-based revenues are, by default, non-service-related third-party revenues from ABB-owned products, excluding systems, internal sales and non-promoted brands. Exclusions follow documented company guidelines. The Robotics division, which is being divested in 2026, is not included in the target for 2025. For 2025 46% of the product based revenues have been assessed.
- Waste from demolition and construction are excluded from the target; waste sent to incineration without energy recovery is included. In 2025, the calculation of the KPI was refined to include hazardous waste sent to landfill or incineration, which was previously excluded.
- At ABB, senior managers are defined as employees in Hay grade 1-7, including division presidents.
- The target relates to countries where policies legally permit and to the extent that it does not conflict with any applicable local laws, where ABB operates. 13% of total senior management is not included in the disclosure.
- We define “top-tier” as performance within the Viva Glint Global top 25 percent benchmark and assume consistent participation across business areas, regions and roles.
- Current focus countries are Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia and Turkey.
- High-risk suppliers are suppliers who supply ABB with goods or services for which there is a high occupational health and safety, environmental or social risk.
