“Mitigation of the impacts of this increase does not necessarily have to result in repercussions on the environment or human resources,” comments Morten Wierod, president of the ABB Electrification division. ‘With the right approach, savings can be made without sacrificing competitiveness, human resources or decarbonisation’.
