Supporting Disaster Relief Efforts
Johnson Controls supports natural disaster relief efforts globally. By partnering with large organizations such as the Red Cross and United Way, as well as smaller local agencies, we have played a role in supporting large-scale disaster relief efforts through our company donations.
Johnson Controls is a member of the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program, a select group of leading corporations providing the highest level of funding to global disaster relief efforts. Starting in 2012, Johnson Controls is making a donation of $500,000 per year for five years to this program, a total commitment of $2.5 million. Our membership supports an emergency infrastructure which enables the Red Cross to respond immediately to the needs of individuals and families impacted by disasters.
Membership in the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program ensures Johnson Controls’ assistance is there in a timely, consistent way, available when disasters occur, wherever and whenever they happen around the world. Johnson Controls provides additional support to relief efforts when extreme disasters occur and to local agencies for disasters if the American Red Cross is not asked to provide relief.
In addition to company donations, Johnson Controls employees provide support to local communities through employee donations and volunteerism. Supporting disaster relief efforts globally helps us realize our vision of a more comfortable, safe and sustainable world.
