Values First, our Code of Ethics, is the cornerstone of the Johnson Controls Ethics & Compliance Program. This Program is an integrated approach to ensuring that our individual conduct, business operations and organizational culture maintain the highest standards of integrity. Through leadership commitment, communication, training, monitoring, reporting mechanisms and other means, the Ethics & Compliance Program helps us to identify and safely navigate ethics and compliance risks and conduct business according to our values.
Our responsibilities
At Johnson Controls, everyone, everywhere must be familiar with the Code of Ethics and follow it every day—regardless of role or seniority. This includes all employees, officers and members of the Board of Directors. Violations of the Code are serious and can result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, in accordance with local legal requirements.

Our values show us that how we achieve our goals matters as much as achieving them. The choices we make along the way say a lot about us as individuals and as an organization. We want to be known for making the right choices—choices that support a culture and a company we can be proud of—and operating in an ethical, legally responsible way.
