PRESS RELEASE: Honeywell
Honeywell’s Statement in Support of Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework
Honeywell issued the following statement today in support of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework:
Honeywell supports the bipartisan efforts to make significant investments in our nation’s infrastructure, including roads, bridges and energy modernization, to improve U.S. competitiveness and foster safety and prosperity for countless Americans. We are encouraged by the hard work on both sides of the aisle to find compromise on this important issue and are hopeful it can be a foundation for continued bipartisan action in support of long-term economic growth.
PRESS RELEASE: Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls Welcomes Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, today issued the following statement from Chief Sustainability, Government and Regulatory Affairs Officer Katie McGinty in response to the recent announcement that Congressional negotiators and the White House agreed to an infrastructure framework.
"Johnson Controls fully supports the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework and we encourage Congress and the White House to come together to pass this legislation. The inclusion of energy efficiency programs and infrastructure funding will significantly improve access to digital technologies, reduce carbon emissions, and save taxpayers money. This is a great first step to address climate change while creating jobs and growing our economy. We at Johnson Controls stand ready to support these initiatives with our efficient buildings equipment and our OpenBlue technology — a fully open architecture platform — that can drive 50 percent and more in improvement in energy efficiency and corresponding carbon emissions. We know that decarbonization of buildings is part of the solution as buildings represent some 40 percent of global emissions. Reducing energy waste from buildings also saves money, so there is every reason to accelerate action."
The $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework is a critical step in implementing President Biden's Build Back Better vision. The Plan makes transformational and historic investments in clean transportation infrastructure, clean water infrastructure, universal broadband infrastructure, clean power infrastructure, remediation of legacy pollution, and climate resilience.
