[DOC] ABB initial statement in response to report by International Rivers Network & Corner House regarding development of Merowe Dam (Sudan)

every export into Sudan goes is checked and has to be approved by our internal bodies - of which Sustainability Affairs is one. In addition, we have added safeguards for sales to Sudan, as we do in areas where there may be conflict situations or when the human rights context is difficult...we are engaged in a project to test our human rights principles in Sudan. We have committed to a stakeholder process guided by a prominent human rights lawyer, involving our own local management and stakeholders in Sudan...We believe that extending access to electricity through improving the grid and other projects, and to help Sudan build its oil industry are contributions towards a better future in Sudan.
