ABB posts record 2025 results and sharp emissions cuts in integrated annual report

The latest announcement is out from ABB Ltd ( (CH:ABBN) ).

ABB reported its strongest annual performance on record for 2025, with all-time highs in revenue, Operational EBITA margin and free cash flow, underscoring the benefits of its decentralized “ABB Way” operating model and portfolio focus on electrification, energy efficiency and automation. Management said the group is well placed to capitalize on global megatrends from rising electricity demand to the energy transition, supported by a strategy of producing close to end markets that aims to reinforce resilience in core geographies.

Alongside the financial results, ABB highlighted rapid progress on its sustainability agenda, cutting Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 79 percent versus 2019, improving energy productivity by 61 percent and sourcing 98 percent of its energy from renewables by 2025. The company acknowledged a slight rise in value-chain Scope 3 emissions versus 2024, but noted they remain below 2022 levels and argued that its high-efficiency motors, drives and grid-integration solutions should enable customers to avoid 285 megatons of emissions over product lifecycles and support long-term decarbonization.

Operationally, ABB advanced circularity and safety targets, recycling 81 percent of operational waste, cutting landfill disposal to just over 5 percent and assessing nearly half of product-based revenues under its circularity framework. Workplace safety metrics also improved, with lost-time injury rates falling to an industry-leading 0.14, serious incidents dropping sharply and the proportion of women in senior management edging up, signaling incremental progress on social and governance commitments that are increasingly important for investors and other stakeholders.
