Mission to zero

Mission to Zero™

Our journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030 - at our own sites whilst helping customers do the same.

We have all the technology we need to get rid of building emissions already, today. Smart energy and asset management can make any building energy-efficient and carbon-neutral. Mission to Zero is a program, a scalable blueprint of smart building solutions combined with on-site renewable energy generation and storage. One goal is to generate enough clean energy on site to power operations with zero emissions.

The program began as a pilot in 2019 with our plant in Lüdenscheid, Germany. This launched the Mission to Zero concept at a grass roots level 'knitting togther' a range of products across ABB, allowing ABB to start to ‘walk-the-talk’ on sustainability.

What we do at our own sites (and what our customers and partners do too) is important because buildings consume more than 30 per cent of the world’s energy and contribute almost 40 per cent of global carbon emissions.

ABB has technologies such as intelligent energy distribution, building automation, HVAC control, battery solutions, motors and switches that can help to address this.

Creating a low carbon society

Not only ABB as a company, but also our customers, want to contribute to a low carbon society.

ABB Building in Porvoo - Finland

ABB manufacturing operations in Porvoo become carbon-neutral

With the use of digital solutions, electrification, and renewables technologies, the facility has decreased CO2 emissions by 636 metric tons. This corresponds to driving 112 times the length of the equator or warming an electric sauna every day for 373 years.

Italian factory sets the benchmark for carbon reductions

ABB’s 45,000 m2 facility in Dalmine, Italy, is proving that green factories don’t necessarily have to be new build factories, as investments in energy efficient technology and digitalization enabled the historical Medium Voltage (MV) circuit breaker and switchgear manufacturing site to achieve Mission to Zero status.

ABB LV Installation Materials Co., Ltd. Beijing

Supporting sustainable manufacturing in China

ABB reduces carbon footprint at a manufacturing site in Beijing, which will decrease the annual greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 400 tons, supporting the company wide objective to achieve carbon neutrality across its own operations by 2030.
