Johnson Controls, the largest
independent supplier of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
 refrigeration (HVAC&R) products, recently ranked No. 11 of America's
500 largest corporations by Newsweek's Green Rankings. Johnson Controls was
described as an "industry leader in addressing climate change risks, and has
committed to reducing energy usage by as much as 50%. In addition, the company
also designs products to improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles and jointly
opened the world's first plant dedicated to manufacturing lithium-ion
batteries."
"Newsweek's ranking of
Johnson Controls recognizes the commitment we have to environmental stewardship
in all three of our businesses," commented Stephen Roell, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "With our origins dating back to
Warren Johnson's invention of the first electric thermostat over 125 years ago,
we always have been focused on energy conservation. Our offerings now span
retrofitting buildings to make them more energy efficient to developing
advanced hybrid battery technology for vehicles."
