Inspired by International Women’s Day, GreenBiz announced its annual Badass Women list on March 8. The 25 women who are being honored for leadership in the climate movement include Katie McGinty, Vice President and Chief Sustainability and External Relations Officer, Johnson Controls.

As head of sustainability for smart building technology company Johnson Controls, which generated nearly $24 billion in sales for 2021, McGinty is a member of the executive committee, responsible for setting climate commitments and championing government policies that help make it easier for the private sector to deliver.

"Each individual on the list is making her mark in unique and undeniable ways, advocating for causes close to their hearts."

— Heather Clancy, VP, Editorial Director, GreenBiz Group

Among the many initiatives Johnson Controls supports is Amazon and Global Optimism's Climate Pledge, a group of companies and organizations that set a collective goal to achieve net zero carbon by 2040. One of the company’s rallying cries is the vital role energy efficiency will play in moving toward net-zero carbon buildings.

According to Heather Clancy, VP, Editorial Director, GreenBiz Group, “each individual on the list is making her mark in unique and undeniable ways, advocating for causes close to their hearts.”

In addition to McGinty, the list, now in its fourth year, includes Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, and Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
