Sustainability

Building smart, safe, healthy and sustainable tomorrows

Imagine a world where buildings, which account for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, become the heroes of our climate story. As the global leader in smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, our approach to sustainability is about being green both ways — good for the bottom line and the planet.

At Johnson Controls, our unwavering commitment to building smarter, healthier and more sustainable tomorrows is at the core of our purpose.

Sustainability is not just an environmental imperative, but a powerful business strategy unlocking new areas of growth and allowing customers to preserve capital.

In our operations
We have reduced absolute emissions across our operations by more than 48% since 2017, on the way to our SBTi-approved science-based target of 55% by 2030. 56% of our electricity globally is met or matched by renewable sources.
For our customers
In 2024, 88% of new product R&D was invested in climate-related innovation to develop sustainable products and services, surpassing our already-ambitious goal of 75%.
Since January 2000, performance contracting projects have helped us avoid nearly 41 million metric tons CO2e and are set to save more than $8.9 billion for our customers through energy and operational savings over the project term.
In our supply chain
Sustainability is weighted at 21% of supplier scorecards, making sustainability equal to cost, quality and delivery in supplier evaluations.
