Johnson Controls joined U.S. EPA Climate Leaders in 2003 to set aggressive targets to reduce its carbon footprint. Accordingly, it set a public goal to reduce the greenhouse emissions in its U.S. operations by 30% per dollar revenue from 2002 to 2012.  It also adopted the same goal for its global operations and met the goal four years early in 2008.
