Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) confirms greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets align with Paris Agreement’s most ambitious 1.5°C goal, announces Johnson Controls.
George Oliver, chairman and CEO, Johnson Controls remarked, “Independent validation of our new targets is confirmation that we are in line with the most aggressive pathway to avoiding the worst effects of climate change. We recently announced new environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, along with a net zero carbon pledge. The SBTi validation further proves the strength of our core strategy – to reduce carbon emissions and support a healthy, more sustainable planet. This is at the heart of our business.”Johnson Controls aims to slash operational emissions by 55% and reduce customers’ emissions by 16% in absolute terms before 2030. Its OpenBlue platform for optimizing buildings sustainability will be central to fulfilling these goals and ultimately creating an environment for healthy people, healthy places and a healthy planet.
