Mary Dowell Vice President, Foundation Affairs & Global Community Relations, Johnson Controls JOHNSON CONTROLS OFFERS GROWTH AND LEADERSHIP IN SERVICE TO COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD in two significant ways - through financial donations and employee volunteerism. Through its Foundation, the company grants $9 million annually in the areas of arts, education, health and social services, and the environment. This includes annual campaigns for the United Way, United Negro College Fund, and United Performing Arts Fund where employees’ contributions are matched dollar for dollar.

Volunteerism is an integral part of Johnson Controls’ culture, says Mary Dowell, vice president, Foundation Affairs & Global Community Relations.

For example, the Executive Involvement & Steering Program strategically matches company leaders around the world with community and charitable organizations, and has grown over 760 percent since its inception in 2008. The Community Involvement Program is employee driven and project based. This program has seen a 450 percent increase in participation during that same period. Both programs are global in scope and

provide employees the opportunity to support their local communities.

Johnson Controls grooms high-potential talent to become successful leaders of the future. The global community relations department developed tools and guidelines to provide its leaders around the world the resources to become involved and capture their community work. Combined volunteer hours for these programs total over 302,000.

Johnson Controls is proud of its employee volunteers. These programs provide opportunities for employees to get involved in their local communities.

Community involvement is demonstrated at all levels within Johnson Controls. It is a practice that aligns with the company’s vision of creating a more comfortable, safe, and sustainable world.
