MILWAUKEE, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls, a Fortune 100
company that creates smart environments for vehicles, homes and workplaces,

The matrix complements the company's 2007 Business and Sustainability
Report, which was released in January and is available in 24 languages. The
online matrix uses GRI's new G3 reporting framework, which provides companies
with a more uniform and transparent set of metrics to systematically report on
sustainability initiatives and results.
The matrix offers readers a quick, easily accessible database of the
company's achievements in 2007 across a wide range of topics. Highlights
include:
-- Financial performance data detailing the company's 61st consecutive
year of increased sales, 17th consecutive year of increased earnings
and 32nd consecutive year of increased dividends;
-- New figures on the impact of the company's business activities on the
environment and society; and
-- Details of the company's partnerships with organizations like the
Clinton Climate Initiative, the Student Conservation Association and
the UN Global Compact.

"Sustainability has recently emerged as a critical issue for every
organization. However, Johnson Controls has been offering our customers more
comfortable, safe and sustainable solutions for the past 123 years," said
Chuck Harvey, vice president of Diversity and Public Affairs for Johnson
Controls. "As the world's largest energy efficiency provider, we recognize
that we should lead by example. We believe the new online GRI matrix helps
demonstrate our current initiatives as well as our long-term commitment to
sustainability."
In February, Institutional Investor Magazine cited Johnson Controls as
America's Most Shareholder-Friendly Company in the category of consumer --
autos and auto parts for the second consecutive year. Johnson Controls was
also recognized as one of the world's leading companies for sustainability by
Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). The
company's commitment to sustainability has earned it industry and community
recognition around the world, and it is listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability
World Index, the Domini 400 Social Index and the FTSE4Good U.S. Index.
