MILWAUKEE – July 23, 2014 – Johnson Controls, a global multi-industrial company, is partnering with Standard Chartered Bank, a multinational banking and financial services company, to provide facilities management services at more than 1,300 sites across Asia and the Pacific. Under a master service agreement, Johnson Controls will provide an integrated solution including facilities management, energy management, and workplace and project management services covering more than 11.5 million square feet.
The partnership will help Standard Chartered Bank achieve its goal of a more optimized and standardized operating model globally, and will allow the organization to focus on the strategic objectives of the bank versus day-to-day service delivery. Johnson Controls will utilize its regional capability, including the Global Workplace Knowledge center in Manila supported by an integrated management information system (MIS) solution, to deliver facility intelligence and enable informed business decisions. Johnson Controls will concentrate on delivering more productive, cost effective services for Standard Chartered Bank from the first year on.
“This agreement is the result of Standard Chartered Bank’s and Johnson Controls’ shared core values and strategic visions on service simplification and innovation,” said John Murphy, president, Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions. “Our strong account leadership and service delivery capabilities will enable Standard Chartered Bank’s staff to focus its attention on the bank’s core business. This partnership demonstrates Johnson Controls’ commitment to providing world class enterprise facilities management across Asia and worldwide.”
The contract will see Johnson Controls delivering integrated services to Standard Chartered Bank offices, branches, ATMs, trading floors and key headquarters locations in 22 countries.
The partnership, which entered the first phase on July 1, is an example of Johnson Controls’ focus on business growth and industry leadership in Asia as the company works toward opening its new corporate headquarters in Shanghai in 2016.
