Green goal: Johnson Controls sets aggressive GHG reduction target
-- Manufacturing Business Technology, 12/5/2007 2:37:00 PM
Johnson Controls, a multi-industrial leader in creating smart environments, pledges to reduce its total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity per dollar of revenue by 30 percent from 2002 to 2012. The company committed to the reduction goal as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Climate Leaders program, which Johnson Controls joined in 2003.Climate Leaders is an EPA industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Partner companies commit to reducing their impact on the global environment by completing a corporatewide inventory of their GHG emissions based on a quality management system, setting aggressive reduction goals, and annually reporting their progress to the EPA. Through program participation, companies create credible records of their accomplishments and receive EPA recognition as corporate environmental leaders.
Johnson Controls plans to achieve this reduction goal through a comprehensive action plan that institutes energy-efficiency solutions in the company's U.S. plants and facilities, processes, and fleet. Through the EPA audit process, Johnson Controls verified that it has already made good progress toward achieving this aggressive GHG reduction goal by 2012.
"Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions intensity in partnership with the Climate Leaders program demonstrates our corporatewide commitment to improving the global environment and increasing the efficiency of our operations," says Stephen A. Roell, CEO, Johnson Controls.
