We disclose our climate-related financial risks consistent with guidance from the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures in the CDP Climate Change disclosure. In 2022, the Company updated our climate-related risk and opportunity scenario analysis consistent with TCFD guidance, and we use that analysis to identify the most critical climate-related risks and opportunities and to develop management strategies for mitigating risks and capitalizing on opportunities. We integrated climate-related risks into our formal Enterprise Risk Management process to ensure the use of a consistent risk framework across the enterprise and to create accountability and visibility up to and including the board.

Johnson Controls is committed to delivering smart, healthy and sustainable buildings. As part of our efforts to deliver products and solutions that fulfill this commitment, Johnson Controls reviews facility siting to fully understand the climate, land-use change, biodiversity, and nature implications associated with development. To that end, Johnson Controls prioritizes retrofit opportunities and minimizes greenfield development opportunities whenever possible. Site selection management begins with optimizing current locations to mitigate greenfield development to the greatest extent practicable.

Johnson Controls follows a three-point plan to minimize the impact of development and ensure that development mitigates emissions and impact on nature, in priority order:

1. Find development opportunities that retrofit and transform existing floorspace.
2. Find development opportunities that add floorspace to existing sites.
3. Find development opportunities that add floorspace to new sites best suited to minimizing the emissions and nature impacts of that development.
