ZURICH -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

ABB will be hosting its Capital Markets Day today, November 19, starting 11.30 am CET, at which CEO, Björn Rosengren, and CFO, Timo Ihamuotila, as well as the four business area Presidents, will give an update on the recent strategic and operational developments, including:

• Improving performance under ABB Way
• Review of business portfolio
• ABB’s digital strategy
• Updated financial framework and long-term sustainability targets

“ABB is a leading technology company, now and in the future. We have the global R&D capabilities, digital solutions and innovation focus to support our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic still weighs on the near-term outlook, but the long-term market trends of electrification, automation, digitalization and energy efficiency remain intact. At the same time, we are taking additional steps to improve performance in order to drive value creation for all stakeholders going forward,” said CEO Björn Rosengren.

Improved performance in the making

Since the start of this year, ABB has further decentralized its organization to bring operating decisions closer to the customer and successfully rolled out its new operating model called ABB Way, including the introduction of a scorecard-based performance management system reinforced through incentivization. This creates a clear focus on stability and profitability before growth in order to strengthen underperforming divisions.

Furthermore, ABB has carried out a portfolio review of its divisions to ascertain whether it is ultimately the best owner. As a result, ABB has decided to explore all options to exit three divisions:

• Turbocharging (Industrial Automation)
• Mechanical Power Transmission (Motion)
• Power Conversion (Electrification)
