Johnson Controls Calls for Ecosystem Collaboration at Sustainability Week Asia

Sustainability Week Asia convened in Singapore, hosted by Economist Impact, gathering regional leaders from business, government and civil society to discuss sustainable transformation.

As a platinum sponsor of this event, Johnson Controls shared its insights on net-zero transitions, further driving the sustainability agenda in Asia to create real change.

Asia has recently seen an increase in the awareness, adoption and impact of ESG metrics. It has become a business imperative for organizations to establish net-zero roadmaps and accelerate their implementation. "Organizations should examine their roles in delivering progress on decarbonization, and find ways to increase access to new technologies and initiatives that can really generate positive impact on our collective fight against climate change," said Anu Rathninde, president, Asia Pacific, Johnson Controls.

As a pioneering ESG practitioner, Johnson Controls is committed to cutting operational emissions by 55 percent and reducing customer emissions by 16 percent before 2030. By delivering products and services that save energy and reduced emissions in buildings, the company can help customers achieve their net-zero carbon goals.

Louis Lim Lu-yi, chief executive and executive director, Keppel Land Limited, a long-term partner of Johnson Controls in Southeast Asia, said, "Keppel Land aims to halve its direct and indirect emissions by 2025 and achieve net-zero operations by 2030. Johnson Controls' broad product portfolio and digital capabilities powered by OpenBlue help to address our goals in accelerating energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the lifecycle of our buildings. The partnership with Johnson Controls supports our mission of achieving sustainable urbanization."

Johnson Controls has championed sustainability on multiple fronts to support initiatives aimed at combatting climate change. It is the first S&P500 industrial company to publish an integrated sustainable finance framework and issue a Sustainability-Linked Bond.
