Johnson Controls has delivered measurable absolute emissions reductions across Scope 1 and 2 (48% since 2017), beating SBTi near-term targets ahead of schedule. Weaknesses: Scope 3 tracking covers only use of sold products, not full supply chain; renewable energy at 56% globally with reliance on unbundled RECs; no quantified nature footprint or TNFD disclosure; ongoing regulatory lead monitoring at a recycling facility and NAM membership without published climate reform distance.
