Since its founding, this company still follows the same core principles. Employees are happy to make positive contributions that help businesses and consumers all over the world.

A Commitment to Sustainable Business and to Giving
Johnson Controls has been committed to sustainability since 1885, when the company was in its early days and it invented the very first electric room thermostat.
In addition to sustainability, Johnson Controls encourages its employees to give back to the community through support of the environment, social services, and education, as well as leadership development. Its volunteer program is called Blue Sky Involve, and it shows support to the Conservation Leadership Corps, which works to educate young people about environmental sustainability. The company donates millions of dollars a year to community organisations and non-profits around the world in order to help further their causes for a more positive world.
