Johnson Controls reports comprehensive GHG data with third-party assurance and has beaten SBTi near-term targets ahead of schedule. However, global renewable electricity remains at 56%, Scope 3 coverage excludes most supply chain categories, and nature-related risks lack quantified footprints or TNFD adoption. Trade association alignment with NAM undercuts climate ambition.
