Abb

ABB, a leader in switchgear and switchboard apparatus manufacturing headquartered in Switzerland (CH), is committed to ambitious climate action.

For 2026, ABB reports Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 33 million kg CO2e. In 2025, their Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 35 million kg CO2e. This figure decreased from approximately 40 million kg CO2e in 2024 and 70 million kg CO2e in 2023. Prior to that, in 2022, ABB reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 300 million kg CO2e, and in 2021, approximately 380 million kg CO2e. In 2020, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 561 million kg CO2e, with significant Scope 3 emissions of approximately 125.7 billion kg CO2e.

ABB has set robust targets aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory. These include:

• Near-term: An 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. They also aim for a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2030, against a 2022 baseline.
• Long-term: Achieving carbon neutrality across their own operations and a 100% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050. Furthermore, ABB aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2050, from a 2022 baseline, ultimately reaching net-zero emissions across their value chain by 2050.

The company is also working with its main tier-one suppliers to reduce their Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions by 50%. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
