The ABB Group

ABB Integrity Program

Integrity is driven by the businesses with division heads and financial controllers regularly reviewing and reporting on integrity developments. The divisions’ business performance evaluations also take into consideration integrity aspects.
The ABB integrity program is supported by a team of some 290 employees, full-time and part-time, at headquarters and around the world.
Multiple channels are available to all employees to report integrity concerns. A multilingual Business Ethics Hotline is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, operated by a external independent third party. Calls are treated confidentially and people with information can choose to remain anonymous (with the exception of some EU countries). ABB employees can find their ABB Business Ethics Hotline numbers on the Integrity portal on the global site of the group intranet.
ABB investigates all potential integrity concerns and cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies. There is a strict zero tolerance policy for violations of the law or the ABB Code of Conduct, which is enforced through systematic disciplinary actions.
ABB also has an Ombuds program as an additional route for compliance reporting. The ABB Ombudsperspons are respected, experienced, business colleagues available for discussion and to provide confidential guidance.
