Message from the CEO

Dear Colleagues,

We are driven by a simple desire to do good in the world. By creating smart, safe, healthy, and sustainable spaces, we can improve society and help our customers run more productive buildings. We aim to reduce the carbon footprint while also building high-tech spaces that drive real progress in our daily lives. These buildings are not just structures, they are hubs for education, healthcare, advanced research, critical infrastructure, living, entertainment, and more.

As we focus on creating spaces that promote well-being and societal progress, we recognize that the foundation of a thriving society is built on integrity and trust. Just as parents and elders serve as essential role models, imparting values and skills to shape the next generation into responsible citizens, leaders in the workplace have a similar responsibility to lead by example.

As a global organization with 100,000 talented team members, serving four million customers, with 10,000 channel partners, and 54,000 suppliers, we understand our responsibility to share and demonstrate the values that are important to us, all while being driven by our purpose of winning by building smart, safe, healthy, and sustainable tomorrows.

We are a high-integrity team that wants to be a force for good in the world by winning the right way. Our goal is to inspire and support everyone we meet, promoting the human values that connect us all. It’s important that our actions reflect this mission, creating a culture where everyone feels empowered to make a positive difference. That’s why Values First, the Johnson Controls Code of Ethics, defines how we earn the respect of everyone with whom we interact. Each of us has a responsibility to be familiar with the Code—compliance is non-negotiable.

Thank you for all your efforts in helping us win the right way - with Integrity First.

Sincerely,

Joakim Weidemanis
Chief Executive Officer
