Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has been named to the Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity 2023.

“A culture that supports diversity, equity and inclusion empowers our employees to engage in a workplace that values uniqueness, celebrates creativity and drives innovation,” said Marina Williams, vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at Johnson Controls. “Congratulations to the many dedicated employees who helped us earn this recognition. We are proud of the work we’re doing, which leverages our values, develops our high-performance culture and sets us up for an incredible future.”

The 2023 list of Best Employers for Diversity was selected based on a survey by Forbes and Statista. It was taken by about 45,000 employees across the U.S. with companies that have a minimum of 1,000 employees. The employees were asked to anonymously rate their respective organizations based on several areas, including age, gender, ethnicity, disability, diversity and LGBTQ+ equality. Participants from underrepresented groups were also asked to recommend businesses other than their own. The diversity-related best practices outlined by each company were then reviewed and incorporated into the rankings. Johnson Controls ranks #144 out of the top 500 companies.

This is Johnson Controls’ latest recognition as an employer of choice. Recent awards include:

• Human Rights Campaign Foundation
• Newsweek America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
• Forbes America’s Best Large Employers
• Fortune Change the World list
• Ethisphere World's Most Ethical Companies
