ABB Drivers of Progress: Episode 7 – Circular Economy

Our planet is at a crossroads. The way in which we approach the next few years will have a critical impact on our lives and that of future generations. The concept of a circular economy is a potentially transformational one and it is something that ABB is embracing to help make a meaningful contribution to the global transition to a more circular economy. Formula E’s sustainable use of technology reflects the concept of a circular economy and their use of top-level sport to amplify this is a valuable part of the fight against climate crisis.
