WHAT IS ABB’ S MISSION TO ZERO?
ABB’ s Mission to Zero initiative offers a clear blueprint for meaningful change.
Led by Mike Mustapha, Division President of ABB Smart Buildings, the initiative demonstrates how technology, collaboration and a shift in mindset can drive industries towards cleaner, leaner operations.
This ambition is more than corporate rhetoric; it has translated into tangible results across ABB’ s global facilities, setting a benchmark for sustainable transformation in industrial operations.
The campaign began at ABB’ s Smart Buildings facility in Lüdenscheid, Germany. This pilot project integrated solar panels, electric vehicle chargers and battery storage to create a seamless energy management solution.
The result was an impressive annual reduction of 750 tons of CO₂e emissions. More importantly, it became a scalable model for other sites.
Today, more than 20 ABB facilities have adopted similar strategies, collectively reducing CO₂e emissions by 30,000 tons annually – the equivalent of taking more than 7,000 petrol cars off the road.
Of this, ABB’ s Smart Buildings division alone has contributed a 13,000-ton reduction, underscoring the division’ s leadership role in the campaign.
