CORK, Ireland, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson
Controls (NYSE:JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy
and sustainable buildings, has been recognized by Ethisphere, a
global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical
business practices, as one of the 2021 World's Most Ethical
Companies®.
This is the 14th time Johnson Controls has been
recognized for its ethical business practices and the quality of
its global compliance program. Johnson Controls is one of only nine
honorees in its industry category.
"Bringing integrity to our work every day is critical to meeting
our commitments to every one of our stakeholders as we deliver on
our mission for healthy people, healthy places and a healthy
planet," said George Oliver,
chairman and CEO of Johnson Controls. "Our team is driven by a
commitment to ethical business practice and to respect, inclusion
and diversity because we understand that fostering a strong culture
of integrity not only is the right thing to do but also drives
business performance through better employee engagement and
productivity."
Johnson Controls' core values include Integrity First and
Purpose Led, elements that have guided its response to the 2020
pandemic for its customers, employees, and the communities in which
it operates.
"This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects
the effectiveness of our One Team approach to driving a culture of
compliance at Johnson Controls," said Larry
Leverett, vice president and chief ethics and compliance
officer at Johnson Controls. "Leaders at every level of the
organization champion our compliance programs and processes, making
ethical and inclusive conduct part of how we do business," Leverett
said.
"While addressing the tough challenges of 2020, we saw companies
lead – above all other institutions – on earning the trust of
stakeholders through resilience and a commitment to ethics and
integrity," said Ethisphere CEO, Timothy Erblich. "The World's Most Ethical
Companies honorees continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment
to the highest values and positively impacting the communities they
serve. Congratulations to everyone at Johnson Controls for earning
the World's Most Ethical Companies designation."
Methodology & Scoring
Grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, the World's
Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes more than 200
questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics
and compliance activities, governance, diversity and initiatives to
support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating
framework to capture and codify the leading practices of
organizations across industries and around the globe.
This year, the process was streamlined and the question set
expanded to gauge how applicants are adapting and responding to the
global health pandemic; environmental, social, and governance
factors; safety; equity; inclusion and social justice.
