Hitachi ABB Power Grids in India aims to be carbon neutral by 2030

Hitachi ABB Power Grids aims to be carbon-neutral for its own operations by 2030 with 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions along the value chain and 50 percent decrease in waste and 25 percent in freshwater use.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids in India recently announced a comprehensive program to achieve carbon-neutrality targets by 2030 in its own operations, reaffirming its commitment to a sustainable energy future. In parallel, the company is continuing to mobilise resources to safeguard employees and aid India’s COVID-19 relief efforts.

Contributing to the drive to ‘build back better’, the pioneering technology leader is adopting a three-dimensional approach to decarbonisation. The program is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of its own operations and in the products that it delivers. The goal of the program is aligned with India’s Mission Innovation and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 7: to increase access to affordable and clean energy.

The company expects to achieve its carbon-neutral target of 100 percent fossil-free electricity by the close of FY22. It is also electrifying its operations to deliver further efficiencies over the coming years. Additional 2030 targets include a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions along the value chain and the introduction of greenhouse gas-free technology solutions.
