Johnson Controls

Johnson Controls reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 30 September 2020 at 779 Kt (-127 /-14% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity was down at 35 t (-2.9 /-7.7% y-o-y).

Johnson Controls's Scope 3 emissions was down at 121,906 Kt (-15,592 /-11.3% y-o-y). The decline accelerated compared to the CAGR of -4.7% since 3Q'18.

The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 35% by 2025 from a base year 2017, which translates into the estimated reduction of -16 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2025. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Also, the company commits to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2040, which translates into the estimated reduction of -6,134 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2040. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Johnson Controls also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Johnson Controls International plc commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 55% by 2030 from a 2017 base year.* Johnson Controls International plc also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products 16% by 2030 from a 2017 base year. *The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks
