Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) and Johnson Controls (JCI - Free Report) recently collaborated on two new OpenBlue Innovation Centers that are opening in the Indian cities, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

According to Peter Lacy, Accenture's global Sustainability Services’ lead and chief responsibility officer, "It's about creating environments focused on well-being and productivity of occupants, while protecting the environment of our planet. Digitizing building operations is an essential first step toward these goals."
Accenture’s shares have lost 29.6% in the past six months compared with 26.3% fall of the industry it belongs to and 18.8% decline of the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
