“Everybody should feel they have the same opportunities” – ABB CEO Björn Rosengren on women in engineering

This ambition is strongly reflected in ABB’s 2030 sustainability strategy, which has driving social progress as a key strategic pillar, with gender equality being an important element. As part of this strategy, ABB aims to double the number of women in senior management roles to 25 percent. ABB recently adopted the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles (UN WEP’s) in order to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and community. The UN WEP’s are a primary vehicle for corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of the 2030 agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Diversity outperforms homogeneous teamsThe latest episode of the ABB Decoded podcast also explores why gender diversity is crucial for the success of ABB.
