Building a sustainable future together

As the world’s demand for electricity grows, we collaborate with customers and partners to transform how people connect, live and work. We develop innovative products, solutions and digital technologies that enable energy efficiency and a low carbon society across all sectors. By applying global scale with local expertise, we shape and support global trends, deliver excellence for customers and partners and power a sustainable future for society.

“Sustainability, digitalization & connectivity, urbanization, and a shift towards electricity as part of a global energy transformation are all shaping the electrification landscape”

The shift from fossil fuels to low carbon and renewable energy sources, is permanently altering the role we play. The partnership between manufacturer and channel partner is vital to ensure that customers receive the right information, guidance, and technological solutions they need to shape and secure a sustainable energy future for all. The global economy in developing and emerging markets will demand more and more energy in the coming years as the world goes electric. Electricity will reach up to 50 percent of final energy consumption for buildings, transport and industry by 2050, growing from 17 percent in 2010.

The Challenge

Many businesses are struggling with rising fuel prices and inflation, which means that investing in technologies to complete their energy transition is difficult. In fact, ABB’s recent Energy Insights Survey revealed that out of 2,300 business leaders, 92 percent felt that rising energy costs pose a threat to the profitability and competitiveness of their business. This lack of profitability is estimated to impact decarbonization, and when asked “will rising energy prices affect your business achieving its sustainability plan or carbon neutral goals?” over half of respondents said it would delay their decarbonization commitments by up to five years.

The Solution

ABB’s objective is that at least 80 percent of its products and solutions will be covered by our circularity approach by 2030.

By innovating and collaborating to bring to market solutions that solve real customer problems, we are arming our distributors with a rich portfolio of systems that enable them to support customers with confidence – safe in the knowledge that the solutions they are recommending are best-in-class.

“Innovation in safe, smart and sustainable electrification means progress towards a healthier and more prosperous world for future generations.”

One example of innovation is ABB Ability Building Analyzer, a cloud-based solution that provides real-time collection of building and utility data, deep analytics and data visualization in one easy to use interface. It helps proactively improve buildings’ energy usage, reduce costs and emissions by analyzing the performance of a building or portfolio of buildings

Training

The challenge

Distributors must become experts not just on products, but on the shift to renewable energy challenge as a whole. Single product solutions are no longer viable now the focus has shifted towards connectivity and interoperability – distributors must understand why customers want to make the shift, the benefits, potential pitfalls, the associated legislation and the challenges that must be overcome in order to make the transition.

The Solution

ABB University offers a variety of online training modules addressing your most targeted segments, applications, and learn which ABB solution best match your customer needs.

Learning paths

To arm our distribution partners with more than just single product information, we have moved in favor of learning paths that incorporate sales, support, engineering and service capabilities across all the company’s products and solutions. Channel partners can select the path that will be most beneficial to the customers, then upskill across complete solutions that meet the specific needs for that application.

Training

To make upskilling easier, we also provide an online distributor training platform, the ABB Electrification Course Finder. From here, channel partners can access online training modules 24 hours a day. The ABB Electrification Course Finder also contains 550 modules and 32 learning paths in 20 languages. Once the selected module has been downloaded, the training can be completed on any device, with or without internet connection, making it easier for distributors to fit training around their busy schedules.

Tools

In addition to training we offer a range of tools to support our distributors drive to sustainability.

ABB BIM Solution

Combining its own Building Information Modelling (BIM) portfolio with external platforms, ABB’s BIM solution allows our distribution partners to develop models that perfectly meet the needs of smart building customers, enhance business plans, and save time and money.

BIM promotes greater transparency and collaboration between suppliers, thereby reducing material waste throughout all levels of the process. Using advanced analysis BIM can predict the operational performance of a building long before it is built.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) defines a collaborative way of working underpinned by digital technologies, which unlock more efficient methods of designing and maintaining construction projects.

ABB BIM objects are available in the ABB Download Center, or from trusted partners together with all product documentation. There are a range of additional plug-in tools to help distributors to configure ABB solutions and helpful guides to maximize the application of BIM tools to customer requirements.

Mission to Zero

Our journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030 - at our own sites whilst helping customers do the same.

If we are to create a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future, it’s essential that we all collaborate to tackle the challenges the energy transition presents.

Mission to Zero is a program, a scalable blueprint of smart building solutions combined with on-site renewable energy generation and storage. One goal is to generate enough clean energy on site to power operations with zero emissions.

Through our Mission to Zero program, we demonstrate to our suppliers and distributors exactly what this looks like. A growing number of factories and facilities that are part of the Mission to Zero program are already on the path toward becoming carbon neutral. Any partner, supplier or distributor that wants to achieve the same can replicate our approach.
