Rooted in Sustainability: Green Business - Green Balance Sheet
Sustainability isn’t always black and white, but it certainly can be green.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, environmental responsibility is no longer just a moral imperative; it’s a strategic business advantage. Forward-thinking organisations are discovering that sustainable practices don’t just benefit the planet - they also drive innovation, reduce operational costs, and open up new avenues for growth.
By embedding sustainability into core business strategies, companies can help customers preserve capital, build resilience against disruption, and gain a competitive edge in an increasingly eco-conscious marketplace. It’s not just about doing what’s right - it’s about doing what works.

Can less really be more?
At Johnson Controls, we believe the answer is a resounding yes. Our newly released 2025 Sustainability Report, showcases how cutting-edge technology and smart services are helping organisations boost operational efficiency while dramatically reducing emissions from the built environment.
This isn’t just about environmental responsibility - it’s about unlocking real business value. Buildings account for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, making them one of the most impactful and cost-effective areas for climate action. From schools and hospitals to office towers and industrial facilities, sustainable innovation is transforming how we think about energy, resilience, and profitability.
Here are three powerful examples from our latest report:
- Gaining Competitive Advantage Through Strategic Sustainability
Buildings are becoming central to sustainability strategies. By improving energy performance, organisations can reduce costs and reinvest in growth. Learn how we’re helping customers turn their buildings into assets that support both climate goals and the bottom line.
- Putting Technology to Work
Worried about limited resources? Let data, software and AI do the heavy lifting. Our OpenBlue platform helped Standard Chartered Bank in the US cut energy use by 10–12% across Asia Pacific, saving over $250,000 in just six months. Learn how you can take achievable steps with OpenBlue Enterprise Manager to track, reduce and control energy use while accelerating progress towards your carbon reduction goals.
- Delivering Practical, Cost-Saving Solutions
Sustainability doesn’t have to come at a premium. In Missouri, the West Plains Housing Authority is modernising 273 homes, cutting carbon emissions by 32% and water use by 40% with projected annual savings of nearly $200,000.
