Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart and sustainable buildings, has been named among the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations in the 2022 Global 100 ranking by Corporate Knights. It is the eighth time Johnson Controls has received this honour. The company ranked first out of 26 in its Corporate Knights peer group for HVAC equipment manufacturing and first out of 74 in its industry group for Building Products. Johnson Controls jumped to 12th in the overall ranking, up from 38th last year.

The company scored strongly in several areas, supported by actions such as committing to invest 75% of new product R&D in climate-related innovation and sustainable products and services, incorporating sustainability and diversity into executive compensation, and deriving a high percentage (nearly half) of its revenue from green products and services.

Commenting on the new ranking, George Oliver, Chairman and CEO, Johnson Controls, said, “Being named among the top 100 most sustainable companies is an honor, and evidence of our ongoing commitment to lead the way to a low-carbon economy.  The next decade is crucial in our shift to a sustainable economy.
