    ABB retains the right to update this entry as necessary, particularly in response to clarifications from EU institutions and associations regarding the interpretation of the Transparency Register.

    On public procurement, our reported amount encompasses all direct EU-awarded contracts that are within our knowledge. However, it’s important to note that ABB Ltd. secures contracts for EU public tenders through consortium arrangements. Confidentiality obligations stipulated in these consortium agreements often do not allow ABB Ltd from publicly disclosing specific business details related to these contracts. More information on public EU tenders can be accessed on EU databases.
