— Outcome

The Porvoo facility is now a carbon-neutral operation. In the first year, total energy efficiency increased by 21% and CO2 emissions have decreased by 636 metric tons.

More than 93% of the site’s heating has been electrified and it is the first ABB site to recycle energy from its factory production and employ a geothermal system besides solar technology.

"As a Nordic manufacturer, we are strongly committed to making a tangible contribution to sustainable development. Our switches, sockets and electrical installation products are manufactured in Porvoo, close to our local customers, in a completely carbon neutral way. We see this as a great business value for our customers and partners in the future.”
