FOR YEARS, SUSTAINABILITY was largely associated with reporting frameworks, disclosures, and compliance mandates.

But for ABB India, the local arm of the Swiss engineering giant, the conversation is increasingly shifting towards operational efficiency, circularity and long-term industrial resilience.

The company has been recognised as the Most Sustainable Company in Capital Goods in the category of Sectoral Excellence in Manufacturing in this year’s BT India’s Most Sustainable Companies. Guided by a three-pillar framework focused on enabling a low-carbon society, preserving resources, and driving social progress, ABB India is embedding sustainability into everything from factory operations and customer solutions to supplier engagement and community development.

“Our sustainability journey is linked to our core purpose, creating an ecosystem that is more sustainable and resource-efficient, while helping industries transition through technology-led solutions,” says Rajesh Jha, Country Sustainability Manager, ABB India.
