Abb

ABB, headquartered in Switzerland and operating within the switchgear and switchboard apparatus manufacturing industry, has established robust climate commitments and reported significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

For the reporting year 2025, ABB reported total GHG emissions of approximately 425.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of about 119 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 15 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 425.3 billion kg CO2e. The majority of Scope 3 emissions stem from the use of sold products, representing approximately 414.2 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at around 9.7 billion kg CO2e.

ABB has set ambitious climate targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. Key near-term goals include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 80% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, with a baseline year of 2022. For the longer term, ABB is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, with a specific target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 100% from the 2019 baseline and Scope 3 emissions by 90% from the 2022 baseline by 2050.

The company is actively working towards these goals, with some targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). ABB also engages with its main tier-one suppliers to encourage a 50% reduction in their Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions.
