About Johnson Controls

All buildings have a purpose.

They are places for people to live or work, facilities for learning or healing. Venues for entertainment and shopping. Sites for the specialized storage of tangible goods or mission-critical data.

Johnson Controls helps drive the outcomes that matter most by making buildings smarter, through a full range of systems and digital solutions. A smarter building is safer, more comfortable, more efficient, and, ultimately, more sustainable.

At Johnson Controls, our capabilities, depth of innovation experience, and global reach have been growing since 1885. Today, we offer the world's largest portfolio of building products, technologies, software, and services; we put that portfolio to work to transform the environments where people live, work, learn and play.

Our culture of innovation and continuous improvement drives us to solve today's challenges while constantly asking what's next, a culture where growth outcomes are the catalyst for long term success.
