In the latest episode of the ABB DECODED podcast, Theodor Swedjemark, Chief Communications & Sustainability Officer, discusses how ABB is driving progress towards a more sustainable future.
ABB's Sustainability 2030 Strategy will drive the company to contribute to a more sustainable world by achieving a low-carbon society, conserving resources and promoting social progress. To achieve these goals, ABB has set clear goals to achieve through innovative technology development and industry-leading solutions.
ABB's sustainability strategy and goals
"We have always taken a sustainable approach to doing business. It's a core part of ABB's purpose and the value we create for our stakeholders, balancing social, environmental and economic needs in whatever we do. We are also making a significant contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. ”
Media and research institutes, Corporate Knights, placed ABB 33 on the list of the world's 100 most sustainable companies, representing the top % in terms of sustainability performance.
"By 2030, we plan to achieve carbon neutrality by continuing the transition to renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. In addition, we aim to double the number of women in senior management positions to 25%. Outside of ABB, we want to reduce our customers' annual CO2 emissions by 100 megatons – equivalent to the annual emissions of 30 million internal combustion engine vehicles. ”
Advancing electric vehicles
"We recently partnered with EDF France on a bidirectional charging project where electric vehicles can not only be charged using the grid, but also serve as a backup power source to help stabilize the grid during peak demand. You get paid for the electricity you return, which helps reduce the cost of ownership of your electric vehicle. ”
ABB entered the EV market in 2010 and today sells more than 400,000 EV chargers in more than 85 markets; More than 20,000 DC fast chargers and 380,000 AC chargers, including those sold through Chargedot. It is this experience and continued commitment to advancing e-mobility solutions that makes ABB's partnership with Formula E such a good fit.
"I am very proud of my partnership with ABB Formula E. It's a testbed for collaborative innovation and a platform to get everyone excited about the technology and the sustainability that goes with it. ”
Pushing the boundaries of technology for a more sustainable future
ABB is constantly looking for new technological solutions for its customers that not only help their operations become more sustainable, but also address the causes of climate change – for example, ABB's satellite monitoring system can track the sources of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet. Planet.
"When installed on satellites, ABB's optical sensors are able to pinpoint the precise location of methane gas emissions on the Earth's surface. This new sensor is a major step forward, as the previous solution could only measure a larger area. With this level of detail, we can directly identify the sources of emissions, allowing governments to take faster action to reduce or even eliminate them. ”
