Risk Management

A direct result of the financial crisis over the last 18 months has been the growing focus on improving Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in global organizations. ERM has become one of the most important tasks of corporate leadership teams. Regulatory agencies, politicians, and stakeholders are actively lobbying board of directors and corporate leaders to formalize their ERM activities and improve the linkage between performance and accountability. There are new SEC disclosure requirements concerning ERM and increased ERM program scrutiny by rating agencies.

It is important, however, to recognize that ERM is not an exercise in risk minimization. “It is perfectly appropriate – indeed essential – to the health of our economy, and to product innovation and enhancement, for some companies to adopt business models and strategies that have greater risks than others. In successful businesses, boards and management work together to define an acceptable level of risk that produces the greatest opportunity for reward.” NACD Risk Governance – Balancing Risk and Reward

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for ERM – each company is unique. Risk management must be built into the rhythm of the business. It must be accomplished in a way that realizes real business value and gives the board the appropriate level of meaningful risk management information. Johnson Controls is in the third year of its corporate-wide ERM program. The program is broad based, multi-faceted and continues to evolve to address this rapidly changing environment. The program is built on a solid foundation of decades of Internal Audit risk monitoring and a series of recommendations in 2007 from the Risk Management XLP Team. The current program includes participation from senior leadership at each of the business units, the key corporate functions of finance, strategy, human resources, legal, and information technology, the Executive Operating Team (EOT) and the Board of Directors.

Corporate Executive Board research has shown, over the past few decades, that strategic risks pose a far greater threat and have had a far larger impact on corporate performance than more traditional audit related risks like: fraud, reporting and compliance. Based on this research and XLP benchmark recommendations, Johnson Controls gave the strategic planning function the role of ERM program administration and coordination. Corporate strategic planning works closely with the strategic planning functions in the business units to direct critical ERM activities. The ERM program is run independently from the Internal Audit function though there is increased communication and information sharing between the groups. Though strategic planning has the lead on ERM, the program has broad participation throughout the leadership ranks, and that

participation has grown each and every year. In addition, regular benchmarking of the Fortune 500 has resulted in program changes and enhancements, most significantly several months ago with the addition of a formal Risk Committee. The Risk Committee was created in January 2010 to address ERM program deficiencies and to provide C-suite leadership on this important topic. The Committee oversees the ERM program and ensures increased accountability and communication with the Board and the applicable Board Committees. The composition, roles and responsibilities, and action plans of Risk Committee will be discussed in further detail below as part of a broad overview of our ERM program.

ERM process steps

Though the ERM process is a never ending year-round activity, a new assessment phase commences every November, coinciding with the start of the strategic planning calendar. The first step in the ERM process is the validation of the total “risk universe”. The risk universe is a collection of risks built on environmental analysis and external benchmarking. The original universe was composed of 83 risks in six focus areas: external, strategic, operational, people, financial, and legal & compliance. Each year the universe is reviewed and amended. In last year’s assessment, we added twenty new risks {103 in total – see appendix (Attachment 1)} to address emerging concerns created by the economic crisis. These additions included risks like: changing consumer needs, OEM restructuring cost share, investment prioritization, SG&A contraction, work-life balance, and growth & innovation funding risk. No new additions to the universe were made in this year’s assessment process.

The second step in the process requires each business unit/corporate to select the 50 risks that are most likely to impact their ability to achieve their strategic objectives. Business unit strategic planners solicit input from their leadership teams to build their unique “top 50” list and the corporate planner does the same with the corporate functional leadership. This step narrows the focus for the mapping exercise to a more manageable group of high impact risks. While there is naturally some risk overlap among the businesses only 20 of the 50 risks were common across all business units and corporate.

The third step in the process is a mapping exercise. The mapping phase uses a Johnson Controls developed, web-hosted tool called the “Solutions Risk Navigator” (Exhibit 1). The tool evaluates each risk in three dimensions and

Exhibit 1 – Solutions Risk Navigator sign-on webpage

maps them on a “Navigator Board”. The first dimension (x axis) is the likelihood that the risk will occur - rated on a (1-5) scale from remote (1) to virtually certain (5). The second dimension (y axis) is the impact on Johnson Controls if the risk actually occurred - rated on a (1-5) scale from minor (1) to catastrophic (5). The final dimension is Johnson Controls’ current effectiveness at addressing that risk - rated on a (1-3) scale from low (1) to high (3) and identified visually with red (low), yellow (medium) and green (high) indicators. The result identifies risks that have the highest likelihood of occurrence, greatest severity on the organization and the lowest current effectiveness – essentially red and yellow circles in the upper right quadrant (Exhibit 2). We created a simple formula that takes the average of the impact and the likelihood and subtracts the effectiveness which allows us to score and rank the risks. Business unit leadership reviews this output in a workshop session and assesses whether the “top 10” by formula is in fact the “top 10” risks facing that business unit. The business unit has the right to modify the tool’s output and report the risks they feel present the largest threat.

Exhibit 2 – Risk Navigator Tool mapping dimensions

Hosting the Risk Navigator on the web has allowed us to continue to expand participation in the ERM program every year as well as eliminate the scheduling and participation challenges of individual workshops. Automotive Experience and Power Solutions for example, expanded their participation from 9 and 12 leaders respectively in 2008 to 51 and 94 leaders in 2010. The annual mapping data are recorded in a database and made available to all risk coordinators (Exhibit 3). This allows for score trending, emerging risk identification and mitigation effectiveness assessment.

A review of this year’s highest effectiveness scores in each of the businesses demonstrates the value of focused corporate-wide initiatives and leadership commitment to those initiatives. Our established programs for ethics, health & safety, and working capital are good examples (Exhibit 4). While high effectiveness scores don’t eliminate the risk they do provide evidence that people are actively engaged in addressing these key issues and in many cases demonstrating success at managing them.

2010 ERM Output

The corporate-wide consolidated list of top risks saw a significant change over last year. Only three risks remained on the top ten list as broader fears of economic collapse subsided. Top risks reflected lingering concerns about the long term prospects of our customers, the threat of new and substitute products, and the pressure on lean organizations in an improving economy. Quality received renewed oversight as several business units identified the need to refocus attention there, particularly in light of the recent hypersensitive “Toyota” experience. Business continuity, the ability to recover and maintain business operations in the event of a disruption due to physical or natural circumstances, also received at lot of attention given our growing share in global markets and significant sole source awards. Senior leadership challenged the businesses to assess not only our internal ability to recover but also our contingency planning around a significant interruption from one of our key suppliers. Other top ten risks migrated once again to competitive threats, technological innovation, design and other growth related concerns.

Top risks identified by each business unit saw significant changes over last year. Automotive Experience had only two top ten risks that survived from 2009. Building Efficiency and Power Solutions both had four risks that carried over. The shift back from a financial crisis focus in 2009 to concerns about growth and a recovering economy in 2010 were clearly evident in each of the businesses.

For all of the businesses, the March strategy meetings were an opportunity for rich discussion on risk awareness and risk sensitivity. Dialog on concentration risk and business continuity risk were particularly enlightening for the businesses. Corporate posed several credible scenarios that could dramatically impact our ability to fulfill sole source commitments. That reality check motivated some of the businesses to explore additional what-if scenarios (natural disasters or key supplier interruptions) and build more robust business interruption plans.

Risk management and mitigation plans

Once the business unit leadership has identified their top risks, they present them to the corporate leadership team during the March strategy meetings. The risks are discussed and the corporate leadership team provides additional perspectives and concerns. The business units begin to develop formal management / mitigation plans for each of the “top 10” risks. These plans assign owners, identify specific actions and track ongoing progress. As identified earlier, some top risks have carried over from the prior year. In those cases the management / mitigation execution continues from the prior year. If new risks are added the active set of plans is expanded. The corporation adopted a new single page risk dashboard to track individual risk management / mitigation progress and a single page business unit risk overview dashboard (Exhibits 5-6). These dashboards will be updated quarterly, reviewed by the Risk Committee. The strategic planning team in each business will ensure that risk management and mitigation plans are incorporated where appropriate in their strategic plan initiatives.

Exhibit 6 – Automotive Experience critical risk overview

Legal & Compliance Risk Management

We learned in last year’s economic crisis environment that high profile “front and center” risks often dominate the risk assessment focus. In 2009, they overshadowed many of 2008’s growth related top risks and the people, legal and compliance areas lost total visibility. To correct the deficiency and provide greater comfort that these risks were effectively monitored, the ERM team created and deployed a “Legal, Compliance and Internal Audit Risk Navigator” tool modeled after the ERM tool already in use. In October 2009, the legal and compliance team surveyed more than 1,000 JCI leaders and asked them to map 50 legal and regulatory risks in their businesses on 3 criteria: (1) the likelihood of each risk occurring within their business (2) its impact on the business if the particular risk were to occur and (3) the perception of the efficacy of JCI's existing processes and controls to guard against these risks. The team had a response rate of approximately 70 %. The raw data from the initial phase of the risk assessment was tabulated and plotted on heat maps. The top 10 risks for Automotive Experience and Power Solutions were recently presented to the Disclosure Committee. Building Efficiency will present in June.

Each of the businesses have been asked to review their top 10 legal and compliance risks and reprioritize if appropriate. The legal and compliance team developed and distributed templates and instructions. Unlike the variability of top ERM risks across business units, the top legal and compliance concerns were more consistent across all groups.

The Council will select the top 3-5 risks that each business unit will address more formally over the next 15 months. Project plans are due in late July 2010 with a full implementation and audit process to be complete by August 2011 (Exhibit 7). Legal and compliance plans to repeat this process every 18-24 months. thereafter.

Exhibit 7 – Legal and Compliance Risk program calendar

The output from Legal & Compliance’s October 2009 mapping exercise was shared with the Internal Audit Team prior to the finalization of their 2010 Audit Plan. The Legal & Compliance risk mitigation plans will be reviewed periodically by the Risk Committee. A similar tool for human resource related risks is in development and should be deployed next year.

Risk Committee

Establishing a risk universe, mapping the risks, identifying the top risks and creating a management / mitigation plan for those risks was sufficient to place Johnson Controls in the second quartile among Fortune 500 companies’ ERM programs. In order to achieve first quartile performance we needed to add a process or processes that allowed for regular risk updates, continuous identification of emerging risks, and a formal process to review and set the appropriate risk appetite in key areas. In addition, it was important to increase

risk communication and reporting among and between company leadership, the Board of Directors and Board Committees (Exhibit 8).

Exhibit 8 – ERM “best-in-class” risk management process steps

Research from the Corporate Executive Board’s – Risk Integration and Strategy Council along with additional benchmarking indicated that the addition of a Corporate Risk Committee within Johnson Controls could address the program deficiencies. In January of 2010, the Johnson Controls Risk Committee was formed with high level leadership participation from corporate and the business units (Exhibit 9). The Executive Director of Corporate Strategy serves as the risk coordinator and committee secretary. He is responsible for coordinating the risk program and its meetings. One Global Leadership Council (GLC) member from each business unit serves as the risk leader for their business. This assignment is a leadership development step for each of these three participants, one that gives each of them greater exposure to risks from across the corporation. The Risk Committee roles and responsibilities are summarized below.

Risk Committee Meetings

Risk Appetite

One of the most important tasks of the Risk Committee is the subject of risk appetite. Risk appetite is the amount of risk an entity is willing to accept in pursuit of value. Entities often consider risk appetite qualitatively, with such categories as high, moderate or low, or they may take a quantitative approach, reflecting and balancing goals for growth, return and risk. Risk appetite is directly related to an entity’s strategy. It is considered in strategy setting, where the desired return from a strategy should be aligned with the entity’s risk appetite.

Different strategies will expose the entity to different risks. Enterprise risk management, applied in strategy setting, helps management select a strategy consistent with the entity’s risk appetite.

The approach to setting a risk appetite will largely depend on the type of risk. Easily quantifiable risks (e.g. market, financial, credit risk) naturally lend themselves for clear-cut risk thresholds that are relatively well defined. However, for less quantifiable risks the process of setting an appetite typically involved extensive discussions among senior management. A common mistake is to apply quantifiable metrics to setting risk appetites for risks involving a higher degree of subjectivity (e.g. regulatory risk, reputation risk). The end result should be a statement around the “amount” or “degree” of risk to be taken and how the company plans to track the risk – rather than a specific dollar amount.

With that philosophy as a guide, the Risk Committee drafted a collection of Risk Appetite Statements, thirty in all in ten criteria areas. The statements incorporated qualitative and quantitative descriptions of risk appetite with a conscious effort to incorporate the key elements of the Ten Year Marker and this year’s corporate-wide top risks.

Risk topics and the calendar

Another key activity of the Risk Committee is to periodically review key risk areas to better understand the size and nature of the risks we are exposed to. This would include areas like Enterprise Security, Information Technology and Treasury including all its related activities: cash management, debt, hedging, liquidity, insurance, etc. The Committee recently reviewed the Treasury functions including an overview of policies, procedures and directives. The review confirmed a robust oversight regime and risk exposures that were well within our tolerance.

The Committee identified a list of areas they wanted to cover throughout the year and created a calendar to review those topics. Each topic has a Risk Committee sponsor and outside presenters will be invited to review topic material (Exhibit 10). The committee meets as frequently as necessary to address the risk environment but at least quarterly.

Risk universe network

Emerging risk identification and monitoring risk management / mitigation are two other key roles of the Risk Committee. With such a large risk universe, the Committee felt it was appropriate to create a distributed pyramid structure throughout the corporation to effectively monitor all of our risks by assigning a business unit leader a manageable number of risks that correspond to their area of responsibility. The current risk universe (103 risks) is being monitored by a select group of leaders (8-10) in each of the businesses and at corporate (Exhibit 11). This group or network of leaders serves two main purposes: first as an earlier warning team to identify emerging risks throughout the year and second, as the primary person responsible to oversee the risk management / mitigation effort if one of their risks is identified as a top risk in the annual risk mapping exercise. This group is provided prior risk mapping data and scores to identify trends and areas of emerging concern (previous shown Exhibit 3).

The network of risk owners in each business will communicate regularly with their GLC risk leads and strategic planning team. They will provide a verbal assessment on their portion of the risk universe prior to each Risk Committee meeting. If they own any top risks, they own the mitigation responsibility and they will ensure that the management / mitigation dashboard is updated regularly and is readily available to the GLC risk lead in advance of a Risk Committee meeting.

The intent of the network is not to create a paperwork and reporting exercise but rather build a pyramid of distributed scanning / monitoring responsibilities that will create an informal conduit to identify and verbally share emerging risks, concerns and proposed actions. Every Risk Committee meeting will indirectly have input from over forty leaders (Exhibit 12).

Exhibit 12 – Risk universe monitoring network link to the Risk Committee

In early 2010, the top risks identified by the 2009 ERM mapping exercise were compared against the risks statements covered in our 2009 10K report. The process confirmed that the 10K had nearly total coverage of the 2009 top risks. In the future, the Risk Committee will assume the responsibility of reviewing the risk disclosures and updating or amending them as required based on risk process output or Committee discussion.

The SEC has issued a new rule (33-9089) requiring additional disclosure requirements in the annual proxy statement including the Board’s role in managing enterprise-wide risks. The regulation went into effect February 28, 2010 and focuses on disclosure of board measures to manage enterprise-wide risks, including policies related to risk identification, risk appetite, and management of risk/reward tradeoffs throughout the enterprise. The intent of the disclosure is to extend risk management responsibility beyond the C-suite and enhance risk management awareness for all employees. The disclosure: Must explain board leadership structure and the reasons why the company

believes this structure is the most appropriate Must define how the board administers its role in the oversight of risk

management activities and whether and how the board, or board committee, monitors risk – How does the board/committee receive information from management?

Must include information regarding whether the persons who oversee risk management report directly to the board as whole, to a committee, or to one of the other standing committees of the board

Risk oversight is the responsibility of both the management and the Board of Directors. The Risk Committee communicates its activities, recommendations and risk management / mitigation status to the Executive Operating Team and Board of Directors through the publication of meeting minutes and on occasion with formal presentations. The Committee has drafted a Risk Responsibility Matrix to identify the specific people in management to manage the risk and the appropriate Board Committee or the Board itself to provide risk oversight for each individual risk (Exhibit 13).

Summary

The Board of Directors and the senior leadership team have embraced the importance of a robust corporate risk management program. The tone at the top has been clearly communicated and the corporation is developing a culture of prudent risk management. The approach we employ is based on a collection of process steps taken from global best in class benchmarks. The creation of additional tools and the formation of a Risk Committee has greatly increased our ability to identify emerging risks, weigh appropriate risk appetite and improve the communication frequency and fidelity between corporate leadership and the

Board of Directors (Exhibit 14). We are committed to continuously improve the tools, capability and breadth of that approach and to proactively identify, address and mitigate the risks that pose the greatest threat to our corporation.
