Delegates’ Assembly 2020

Hello dear delegates – members of our ABB Company Sports Association

We successfully held the first digital delegate meeting, the fourth delegate meeting of our still young association, on Saturday, April 4th.

At this point we would like to say a big thank you to the representatives of the locations/sports groups, so that we had a great meeting on Saturday thanks to your participation.

A total of 1085 of 1201 members were represented by the participating delegates on April 4. This corresponds to a quota of 90%.

Since all formal points were observed, decisions could be made accordingly.

We discussed a lot of points, because the journey through time of around two years with the framework "What have we achieved - what are we planning?" is very comprehensive. Overall, the mood in the club is very positive. The development of our club in the first two years was successfully continued and expanded in the third full year of 2019.

In addition to the stable operation of the well-known sports at the sports facilities, smaller new sports groups were tested and formed again in 2019 and we are particularly proud of the expansion of our close cooperation with Lebenshilfe, the company health management and other partners.

Due to the situation in the world and for us here in Germany due to the Corona crisis, we have also made or had to make decisions.

We will not continue planning or holding the planned sports festival in 2020.

We want to use the time during the Corona crisis to start planning a major sports festival in 2021 and to coordinate with everyone involved very early on.

This is particularly true with regard to the transition of ABB Power Grids Germany AG to Hitachi on July 1, 2020. It was proposed and decided to expand the advisory board of our association to include two members from ABB Power Grids Germany.

Furthermore, our goals, which were confirmed for 2020/2021,

- Integrate ALL locations of ABB AG and ABB Power Grids Germany AG into the ABB Company Sports Association

- Strengthening & stabilising existing good divisions

- Communicate all sports events via ABB Betriebssport eV

- Financial support for existing and new sports / participation in sporting events

- Improve physical and mental fitness together with ABB & PG BGM (corporate health management)

Let us continue to develop the club together so intensively.
