Dear Colleagues,
In light of the extensive media coverage you’ve seen today, I believe it is important that you hear directly from me.
First, it is true that my wife and I are in the process of a divorce. It is also true that I am involved in a personal relationship with a partner of a consulting firm with whom Johnson Controls did business. All matters involving senior leadership are addressed by the Board of Directors. They determined no conflict of interest occurred. To avoid any perception or potential future conflicts, we decided to discontinue further work with the firm.
It’s unfortunate today’s coverage may have caused a distraction and embarrassment. However, the company considers this to be a closed matter.
This is an exciting time for Johnson Controls. We have a compelling vision and great strategies to move the company forward. Let’s focus our energy and attention on our future.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement.
Alex Molinaroli
