ABB supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on those areas where we can make the most impact on the environment, our society and the economy.

Adopted by the member states of the United Nations in 2015, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 sub-targets offer a blueprint for achieving peace and prosperity by 2030. Business has a vital role to play in driving progress if the SDGs and their sub-targets are to be achieved by the end of this decade.

ABB has always been a strong advocate for the SDGs. As part of our double materiality assessment conducted in 2023, we asked a wide range of internal and external stakeholders for their perspectives on ABB’s impacts on the economy, the environment and society including people. Based on their feedback, we mapped the topics that we identified in our double materiality assessment against the 169 sub-targets of the SDGs. This process allowed us to identify four SDGs on which we have the greatest impact. They are as follows:

 

 

Affordable and clean energy

ABB enables access to affordable and sustainable energy through our portfolio of electrification, automation and energy-efficient solutions.

Decent work and economic growth

ABB contributes to decent work and economic growth by providing safe and fair employment, paying taxes and supporting local communities.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

ABB’s innovative technologies actively contribute to sustainable industrialization and give us, our business partners and our customers the ability to move, work and live more sustainably.

Climate action

By cutting our own GHG emissions, empowering customers to avoid emissions and integrate renewables, and working with suppliers and partners to reduce their carbon footprints, ABB is enabling decarbonization and climate action.

These four SDGs are aligned with ABB’s purpose of enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future with our technology leadership in electrification and automation. This alignment allows us to focus our efforts on those areas where we can generate the greatest impact. While these are the SDGs on which ABB has the most influence, we also recognize the importance of all other SDGs and endeavor to contribute to their achievement whenever and wherever possible.
