ABB
Switzerland
ABB provides power and automation technologies that enable a wide range of industry customers, including utilities, to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. ABB is the world's largest supplier of the electrical heart of wind turbines. Through its integrated solutions for control, plant optimization, and specific industry applications, ABB also serves the oil and gas sector. With the recent debut of GridSync, ABB has announced its involvement with Smart Grids as a future avenue for growth. GridSync will allow ABB's utility customers to make their distribution networks more efficient and reduce their generation needs and operating costs. Given the breadth of ABB's customer base, it is not surprising that the company is involved in infrastructure projects, including those with high environmental impacts. In response, ABB has integrated group-wide sustainability criteria into its risk assessment process for projects. Life-cycle analysis studies are required for each new product and project. Environmental product declarations are also produced for ABB's major product lines. Consequently, ABB reduces the use of high risk substances and avoids further environmental risks. ABB is in compliance with Europe's legislation on hazardous substances and e-waste, known as RoHS and WEEE. All products produced are RoHs compliant; however, Portfolio 21 has asked the company to implement global product take-back programs.
