ABB's Four E's: How a Global Workforce Shows Up for Its Communities

Education, empowering communities, environmental conservation, and emergency and disaster relief. Four focus areas, and a single shared conviction: that the impact ABB makes in the world doesn't stop at the workplace door.

From Mexico to the United States and across to France, ABB colleagues have been dedicating their time, effort and energy to the communities that need it most. The four E's aren't just a framework; they're the foundation of how ABB puts its values into practice, locally and globally.

What community engagement looks like at scale

In 2025, ABB's commitment translated into measurable action:

• 6,000+ person-days of volunteer work contributed by employees
• $9.4 million donated by employees and business areas
• 630+ projects and charities supported worldwide
• 44 countries engaged

These numbers reflect thousands of individual decisions, colleagues choosing to give their time, skills and energy to others.

Four areas, one purpose

• Education: expanding equitable access to STEM learning and building skills for the next generation, with a focus on technology, sustainability and innovation
• Empowering communities: creating more sustainable futures for fragile communities where ABB operates
• Environmental conservation: supporting biodiversity, protecting ecosystems, and mitigating environmental impact
• Emergency and disaster relief: standing by local communities and employees when natural disasters strike, and building preparedness for the future

People who run what runs the world and give back to it

ABB's community engagement strategy is global by design and local by nature. The work happening in Mexico, the US, France and dozens of other countries is carried out by people who understand the communities they're part of and choose to invest in them.
