Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
A Global Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Johnson Controls has long understood the value of diversity and inclusion. It is present in everything we embody – from our values to our Leader Expectations Model. Building on this history, our leadership is moving diversity and inclusion beyond a foundational value to a business imperative.
Business Resource Groups
Johnson Controls supports and sponsors Business Resource Groups (BRGs) across the company. BRGs are an integral component of our overall workforce diversity strategy to create and sustain a diverse and inclusive workplace. The Johnson Controls BRGs will focus on two very important and tangible benefits, personal/professional development and business impact. BRGs are employee driven, voluntary, open to all employees, and are global talent engines which showcase diverse perspectives to create business impact.
We have 11 different types of BRGs globally:
- Global Sustainability Network (GSN):
Our community for sustainability employees passionate about our company's mission - INSPIRASIAN:
Our community for supporting and uplifting Asia Pacific Island Heritage - JC4e:
Our community for LGBTQ+ employees and allies - Mindful Living:
Our community where employees can prioritize mental well-being and increase self-awareness - ONYX:
Our community for Black and African employees and their allies - Parents and Caregivers Together (PACT):
Our community for caregivers of children, including working parents, aspiring parents and all others who care for children

Employer Information Report
In furtherance of our robust diversity and inclusion initiatives, we have elected to publish information regarding the makeup of our workforce because, while it is impossible to capture the diversity of backgrounds and thought in a single chart, we want to be transparent about our diversity. We believe that transparency will play a critical role in driving action by shining a light on areas for improvement and serving as a mechanism for leadership accountability.
The data in the link provided below on the diversity of JCI’s U.S. workforce is pulled from our most recent annual submission to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and data reflects a snapshot period of December 15, 2022 to December 30, 2022. The report breaks down the Company’s workforce by race, ethnicity, and gender across job categories established by the EEOC. While the EEOC mandates the use of the specific job categories shown, these categories do not always reflect how JCI organizes its workforce. As a result, each EEOC job category may encompass a range of JCI job titles and job grades.
