We respect the needs and concerns of the communities in which we live and work. This is exemplified in the company’s long tradition of caring about the quality of the environment. Our products, services, and manufacturing methods reflect this concern and our belief that what is good for the environment is good for Johnson Controls. In the same respect we are committed to provide a workplace that is free of harassment or any other behavior that diminishes a person’s integrity and self-esteem. Neither physical nor mental harassment nor abuse will be tolerated. Additional information related to Johnson Controls commitment to sustainability.
At Johnson Controls, we’ve been dedicated to protecting the environment since our invention of the electric thermostat in 1885, which provided a fundamental shift in the energy efficiency of buildings.
