ABB Chairman Peter Voser said: “On the strength of our decentralized ABB Way operating model, we 
were able to make further progress across several of our key priorities in 2024. The Board of Directors 
and I are absolutely confident in the ability of ABB’s management team to continue to lead this great 
company and deliver superior value for all of our stakeholders.” 
CEO Morten Wierod said: “2024 was a new record year for us in many ways as we improved on most of 
our financial headlines, despite the uncertain economic and geopolitical environment in which we are 
operating. When it comes to sustainability targets, we are making good progress and have embedded 
sustainability even further into our divisions. Overall, we will continue to focus on accountability, trans-
parency and speed to further strengthen our high-performance, high-integrity, collaborative culture and 
to actively manage our portfolio.”

ABB’s Sustainability Agenda progress highlights  
As part of ABB’s enabling a low-carbon society pillar of its Sustainability Agenda, the company aims to 
reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050, 
compared to a 2019 baseline. In 2024, ABB achieved a 78 percent reduction of scope 1 and 2 GHG emis-
sions since 2019.  
ABB also aims to cut its scope 3 GHG emissions, covering the rest of its value chain, by 25 percent by 
2030 and 90 percent by 2050, compared to a 2022 baseline. The vast majority of ABB’s indirect GHG 
emissions relate to the use of products sold to customers. In 2024, ABB’s scope 3 emissions decreased 
by 8 percent compared to 2022. Grid decarbonization is the biggest lever to reduce ABB's emissions 
across the value chain. By developing and introducing ultra-efficient electric motors and drives, ABB is 
not only enhancing energy efficiency for its customers but also significantly lowering the emissions as-
sociated with the lifecycle of its products.  
In 2024, ABB helped its customers avoid 66 megatons of emissions throughout the lifecycle of products 
sold in 2024 and 204 megatons cumulatively since 2022 with energy and resource efficient technologies 
compared to alternative solutions. This contributes to the company’s ambition to support customers in 
avoiding 600 megatons of GHG emissions from 2022 to 2030 based on all the products the company ex-
pects to sell over that period. 
As part of the preserving resources pillar of its Sustainability Agenda, ABB targets sending zero waste 
to landfill while reducing waste generation by 2030. In 2024, ABB reduced the amount of waste it sent to 
landfill to 5.8 percent. By the end of 2024, ABB had also assessed 41 percent of its product portfolio as a 
prerequisite of its goal of covering at least 80 percent of its portfolio of products and solutions with its 
Circularity Approach by 2030. The circularity score will be calculated once a representative share of the 
portfolio has been assessed. 
Finally, in line with its goal of promoting social progress, in 2024 ABB reached an industry-leading low 
lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) of 0.15, down from its 2019 baseline of 0.24. Compared to the pre-
vious year ABB slightly increased the proportion of women in senior management positions to 21.3 per-
cent.
