Energy savings and emissions cuts drive customer returns

Johnson Controls has released its 2026 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress in energy efficiency, decarbonisation and customer cost savings across mission-critical industries such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing and higher education.
The company said its technologies helped customers save more than $9.5 billion in energy and operating costs while avoiding emissions equivalent to nearly six million US homes. These savings are enabling organisations to redirect capital towards growth priorities, capacity expansion and workforce development.
Johnson Controls reported a 46 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2017, reaching 84 per cent of its 2030 target. It also achieved a 33 per cent reduction in Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products, exceeding its 2030 target, while 91 per cent of global electricity needs were met or matched with carbon-free energy.
The report highlighted continued investment in sustainable innovation, with 77 per cent of new product research and development in 2025 focused on climate-related solutions.
The company also outlined opportunities in data centres, where its cooling, thermal management and automation systems can reduce non-IT energy use in major North American hubs by more than 50 per cent. For gigawatt-scale AI facilities, the savings could power more than 200,000 households annually.
