that have demonstrated a commitment to business integrity through
robust ethics, compliance, and governance
programs
CORK,
Ireland, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson
Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy, and
sustainable buildings, has received the 2024 World's Most Ethical
Companies® recognition by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining
and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, marking
the 17th time Johnson Controls has been named to this
list.
"What we do every day at Johnson Controls makes the world more
productive, more secure, and more sustainable. Creating winning
solutions for our customers is the key to winning in the
marketplace, and how we do it matters," said Johnson Controls
Chairman and CEO George Oliver. "We
are immensely proud of our role as a global leader in ethical
practices and are resolute about doing what is right to fuel
employee empowerment and drive business value. This recognition
underscores our deeply engrained culture of ethics at Johnson
Controls."
Values First, the Johnson Controls Code of Ethics, is the
cornerstone of the Johnson Controls Ethics & Compliance Program
and is an integrated approach to ensuring that individual conduct,
business operations, and organizational culture maintain the
highest standards of integrity. Through leadership, commitment,
communication, training, monitoring, and reporting, Johnson
Controls has operationalized ways to identify and safely navigate
ethics and compliance risks and conduct business according to the
company's stringent set of values.
"Acting with integrity, being purpose led, and always putting
the customer first are just a few of the values that lead our teams
at Johnson Controls. This recognition is a testament to our culture
and the employees who live our values every day," said Mara Murphy, Vice President and Chief Ethics and
Compliance Officer of Johnson Controls.
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in
Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, an extensive
questionnaire that requires companies to provide over 240 different
proof points on their culture of ethics; environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices; ethics and compliance program;
diversity, equity, & inclusion; and initiatives that support a
strong value chain. In 2024, 136 honorees were recognized spanning
20 countries and 44 industries.
"It's always inspiring to recognize the World's Most Ethical
Companies. Through the rigorous review process, we see the
dedication of these organizations to continually improving their
ethics, compliance and governance practices to the benefit of all
stakeholders," said Erica Salmon
Byrne, Ethisphere's Chief Strategy Officer and Executive
Chair. "Companies that elevate best-in-class cultures of ethics and
integrity set a standard for corporate citizenship for their peers
and competitors to follow. Congratulations to Johnson Controls for
achieving this honor and demonstrating that strong ethics is good
business."
