Safety & Integrity
Ulrich Spiesshofer, CEO, on the importance of our
values:
“If we do not live safety and integrity as the basic values
of our company, there will be no ABB in the future”.
• This value pair is the bedrock of our organization.

at risk or engaging in unethical practices. At ABB,
we take care of ourselves and we look out for our
colleagues – we don’t look the other way. We draw
attention to behaviour and actions that might
compromise someone’s health or well-being,
or jeopardize their career or the reputation of the
company.
• We want all of our employees to come to work and
go home unharmed: Live your story, safely.
