— Leading with integrity Management’s role in driving a culture of integrity

With the launch of the ABB Way, we de- fined our values and laid out clear integrity principles in our Code of Conduct. Our Code is the foundation of our strong, collective and individual commitment to in- tegrity and responsible business practices. At ABB, performance is measured not only by the results achieved, but also how results are achieved. As managers, we are expected to lead by example by pro- moting a culture of integrity. Integrity is not a slogan, but the key to sustainable business and our 2030 sustainability strat- egy. It is about how we behave – follow the law, act honorably and treat each other with respect. We need to create an envi- ronment where anyone feels safe to speak up. Integrity means doing the right thing even when nobody is watching.

“Leading with integrity means that we are responsible for our own behavior and actions as leaders, as well as for those of our teams and business partners. A culture of integrity is a pre-requisite for a world class and sus- tainable business,” says Carolina Granat, Chief Human Resources Officer, ABB. In the first quarter of 2021, more than 1,000 colleagues from 243 management teams made an express commitment to perform their objectives in line with our values and Code. Over the last year, more than 150 units across our businesses have also discussed Integrity on the Business Agenda topics. We will continue to generate greater awareness through more discussions going forward.
