Women in STEM.

We have endless opportunities for women in science, technology, engineering and math fields who are starting their careers or looking for their next opportunity. We developed the “Coolest Women in the World” program. This program allows women in the HVAC industry to connect and we are constantly looking for new ways to recruit women and encourage you to apply for any of our open positions.

We Are Committed.

At Johnson Controls, we build a culture of diversity and inclusion through accountability, including CEO-approved diversity goals, regular executive review of our results, and behavior-based efforts such as coaching/mentoring, leadership development, succession management and diversity leadership summits. Female executive representation was 22 percent globally.

We also have long understood the value of diversity and inclusion. It is present in everything we embody – from our values to our Leader Expectations Model. Building on this history, our leadership is moving diversity and inclusion beyond a foundational value to a business imperative.

Our dedication to diversity and inclusion (D&I) starts with our values. We lead with integrity and purpose, focusing on the future and aligning with our customers’ vision for success. Our high-performance culture ensures that we have the best talent that is highly engaged and eager to innovate. ​​​​​​​

Business Resource Groups (BRGs)

We actively engage employees in our diversity and inclusion strategy. Our nine Business Resource Groups with 67 chapters around the world connect employees with similar experiences or characteristics to promote personal development, sustain an inclusive workforce and improve business results. Groups exist for African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, emerging leaders, LGBTQ, people with visible and invisible disabilities, veterans, and women. These groups are open to all employees and serve as strategic business partners.

Our D&I mission elevates each employee’s responsibility to contribute to our culture. Employees have the power and voice. For example, the company encourages and supports Business Resource Groups (BRGs), which are employee-driven, voluntary and open to all employees. Employees who share a common interest in professional development, improving corporate culture and impacting business results can form BRGs.

We Walk The Talk.

Recently, George Oliver our CEO has committed to doubling the representation of women leaders globally and minority leaders in the US within five years, launching an initiative focused on underserved markets, increasing the company’s spend with women and minority owned businesses, and establishing an initiative to educate the next generation of diverse sustainable building industry leaders. The company also said that include sustainability and diversity goals in senior leaders’ performance assessments, which are linked to executive compensation.

For the tenth year in a row, Johnson Controls China has been named Top Employer China. This prestigious accolade, from one of the most influential employer brand certification programs, recognizes exemplary employers for their success in areas such as talent strategy, leadership development and culture. 

At Johnson Controls, we work hard to attract and nurture top talent from diverse backgrounds. At Johnson Controls China:

• More than 80% of employees are between 25 and 45
• Nearly 80% have tertiary education
• Nearly 60% have been with the company for more than 5 years
• More than 30% of employees are female
• Nearly one in three leadership and professional positions are held by women, who are encouraged to help one another through our Women's Global Network

We Care About Our Community. 

Johnson Controls supports both individual and team volunteering to causes that build safe, smart and sustainable communities through various programs. In the course of our work, we also ensure the highest safety standards for our employees as well as partners.

At the same time, we have been protecting our employees’ well-being with initiatives including The Future of Work, remote working arrangements and comprehensive workplace safety measures such as issuing Personal Protective Equipment to all frontline staff.

During the COVID-19 outbreak in China in early 2020, Johnson Controls China delivered immediate support to the frontlines. We helped Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital convert existing facilities into emergency medical facilities. We also installed a remote diagnostic system for Shanghai's Tongji Hospital. Our contributions and social responsibility provide added reasons for our employees to be proud of the company they work for.

Our Commitment to Sustainability.

Johnson Controls is one of 53 organizations that have now signed The Climate Pledge, a commitment co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, ten years ahead of the goal set out in the United Nations' Paris Climate Agreement. We have also set a goal to double customers' emission reductions through implementation of OpenBlue digitally enabled solutions. This commitment starts at the very top. Our CEO George Oliver is the new chair of the Energy and Environment Committee for the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs representing America's leading companies, to direct change towards a healthier planet."

Our Asia Pacific Headquarters is the first building in China to receive all three top sustainability certifications: USGBC LEED Platinum, China Green Building Design Label Three Star Certification, and IFC-World Bank EDGE Certification. The building generates 44 percent savings in overall energy consumption compared to the local market standard, and saves 4.8 million litres of water annually via grey water recycling and storm water recapture facilities.

The opening of our Asia Pacific headquarters demonstrates the ways in which Johnson Controls continues to accelerate sustainable development in Asia. Johnson Controls currently provides solutions and technologies to 90 percent of the world's tallest buildings, and has contributed to the construction of many iconic landmarks in Asia such as the Shanghai Tower and Taipei 101.
