For nearly 140 years, we’ve made buildings better and now we’re transforming them again with our award-winning digital technologies and services.

It’s changing the way we design, operate and maintain indoor environments and driving to a new era of autonomous buildings.
We deliver the blueprint of the future for industries such as healthcare, schools, data centers, airports, stadiums, hotels, manufacturing and beyond through OpenBlue, our comprehensive suite of connected solutions.
Johnson Controls offers the world’s largest portfolio of building technology, software and services. Supported by a team of more than 100,000 dedicated employees working across 150 countries, we’re helping customers achieve their sustainability goals and power their mission.
Mission et stratégie environnementale (ESG)
At Johnson Controls, we’ve been dedicated to protecting the environment since our invention of the electric thermostat in 1885, which provided a fundamental shift in the energy efficiency of buildings. Now, all over the world, our products and services empower customers and communities to consume less energy and conserve resources.
Turning sustainability words into sustainability action
As the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, we have set ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, science-based targets as well as a net zero carbon pledge to support a healthy, more sustainable planet over the next two decades.
Climate policy and engagement leadership
Johnson Controls recognizes the importance of engaging with world leaders and other leading organizations in fighting climate change and takes seriously its important role as a thought leader on critical sustainability issues.
- Johnson Controls proactively engages with policymakers at all levels of government to share our perspective on issues related to sustainability and decarbonization. We also comment publicly on policies that have an impact on the climate, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, the Supreme Court decision in West Virginia versus EPA, and the AIM Act, which mandated the phasedown of HFCs. George Oliver also testified before the U.S. Senate Budget Committee at a hearing entitled 'Climate Change: The Cost of Inaction'
- We lead in organizations that bring decision-makers together who can turn sustainability words into sustainability action. For example, George Oliver, Chairman and CEO, chairs the Sustainable Buildings Task Force, which is made up of global CEOs from throughout the buildings industry working together to accelerate the delivery of net zero buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Katie McGinty, Vice President and Chief Sustainability and External Relations Officer, currently serves on the International Steering Committee of the World Sustainable Development Summit that focuses on energy, environment and sustainable development.
