Johnson Controls Turns World’s Largest Music Festival Green
As the global leader in creating smart environments and making the places where people work, live and travel more sustainable, Johnson Controls starts by making a difference in its corporate home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US. For nearly 40 years, Milwaukee has been the location of the world’s largest music festival: Summerfest. This year, Johnson Controls is proud to sponsor a sustainability and energy-efficiency awareness campaign to encourage the 800,000 festival-goers to think - and act - green.
Free parking for hybrid vehicles
Highlights of the green campaign include Johnson Controls-sponsored parking spaces for hybrid vehicles. Available between Thursday, June 26 and Sunday, June 29, these FREE spaces are located at 630 E. Buffalo Street, a short walk from the festival’s entrance. The hybrid parking sponsorship is a tangible extension of the company’s global leadership in sustainable vehicle innovations, including hybrid vehicle battery technology and environmentally friendly automotive interiors. Johnson Controls is a leading independent provider of hybrid battery systems that make vehicles more energy efficient.Festival attendees stomp out hunger
On Thursday, June 26, Johnson Controls, along with local television station, Fox 6, is sponsoring a Stomp Out Hunger admission promotion, benefitting Hunger Task Force. Attendees presenting three or more nonperishable food items between noon and 3 p.m. will receive one free Summerfest admission ticket. Local food banks and meal programs will receive thousands of pounds of food to provide to those in need. Green lighting rewarded with complimentary Summerfest admission
As a global leader in energy management solutions and sustainability, Johnson Controls understands how making small changes can have a big impact on the environment.
