Proxy Summary › Zero Harm Vision

Zero Harm Vision Since bringing our Zero Harm to People and the Environment vison to life in 2017, Johnson Controls has demonstrated step change improvement in safety performance and has improved its Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) by over 35%. Within each Zero Harm pillar, “Safety”, “Health & Wellness” and “Environment”, corporate and business stakeholders collaborate to define and implement new initiatives to achieve our vision. This includes collaboration with leaders across business operations, environmental health and safety, human resources, and sustainability. The Board of Directors and the Governance and Sustainability Committee provide oversight over our Zero Harm Vision, with the Governance and Sustainability Committee receiving regular updates on Zero Harm initiatives and progress and the full Board regularly reviewing enterprise-wide health and safety data. During fiscal year 2023 the company delivered an 8% improvement in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), ending the fiscal year with a record low TRIR of 0.37 (per 200,000 workhours). Significant Injury Frequency (SIF) also improved year-over-year reflecting a 19% improvement with a SIF of 0.23 (per 1,000,000 workhours).

As a learning organization we employ the Deming Cycle(Plan-Do-Check-Act) to continuously improve our Environment, Health and Safety performance by constantly refining Zero Harm initiatives based on performance and changes in risk profile.

Learnings during fiscal year 2023 drove a renewed focus on significant injury risk and contractor safety performance, including an enhanced effort to reduce risk associated with six Zero Harm critical programs: Electrical Safety, Control of Hazardous Energy, Working at Heights, Crane Operations, Forklift Operations and Confined Space Entry. These Critical Six programs have the greatest opportunity to reduce significant injury and fatality. This enhanced focus is successfully integrated with our 3 rd party subcontractor management process and in so doing drives our Zero Harm vision by reducing unsupervised subcontractor significant injury risk while improving our collaborative safety performance.
