DEAR SHAREOWNERS,
The past year has proven our strength and resolve as we emerge from the pandemic. While Honeywell continues to face challenges created by the new normal, the Company's principles and core behaviors have provided tenets to help guide a roadmap to the future.
With 2021

Dear Shareowners,

In 2020, in the books, I would like to take the opportunity to talk about how the Honeywell along with nearly every other global organization, faced extraordinary disruptionsBoard of Directors has worked on your behalf. We on the Board have a duty to be attuned to the perspectives of our shareowners while providing long-term guidance to the Company's strategic vision and performance culture.

Honeywell is in the business of changing how the world works, and operationsDarius and his leadership team are becoming pacesetters in sustainability efforts. Yale School of Management's Jeff Sonnenfeld ranked Darius's actions as one of the best CEO performances of 2021 in part due to making sustainability a priority.
The Board's Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee provides holistic oversight and thought leadership as the COVID-19 pandemic.company navigates rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. We recently welcomed Rose Lee to the Board. She has extensive ESG experience and will be an invaluable addition to the Board as we further advance Honeywell's sustainability efforts.
The Company and its Board are intensely committed to the highest levels of ESG performance. Honeywell is uniquely positioned to help industries across the globe improve their sustainability. A significant portion of the Company’s research and development spend on new products is in its ESG-related portfolio, much of which underscores its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the value chain.
I encourage you to read our 2021 Corporate Citizenship Report, at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information”), to learn more about how Honeywell's ESG-oriented in energy, aviation, technology, and beyond will help shape our future.
The Company is continuing its efforts to invent and commercialize breakthrough technologies in energy, safety, security, productivity, and urbanization. While the Company has and will continue to face challenges in the near term, as the world comes to grips with a new normal, I have the utmost confidence in where the Company is headed.

I have been a part ofspeak for the entire Board when I say I am highly encouraged by Honeywell’s Board of Directors since 2005progress and now have the privilege of serving our shareowners, customers, suppliers, employees, and communities as Lead Director. As Lead Director, I play a crucial role in the Company’s governance structure, serving as de facto leader of the independent directors andeager to see all it will accomplish as a single focal point charged with ensuring that thepremier global technology company.

Before I close, I’d like to remember Gen. Raymond Odierno, a member of our Board is providing independent oversight of management.

During one of the most challenging yearswho passed away in the Company’s history, I’ve been able2021. A retired four-star general, Ray brought deep insights to see firsthand how Honeywell rapidly created solutions to help people safely return to work – and adjust to the daily challenges we face. With unprecedented speed, the Company accelerated innovation to provide new safety solutions that helped businesses, entertainment, sports, and schools reopen during the pandemic.

Even in this ever-changing world, the Company and its Board remain steadfastly committed to the highest levels of environmental, social, and governance performance. The Board is highly engaged in ensuring that the Company’s approach to addressing environmental and social risks and opportunities are in alignment with our long-term strategy. The current Board and Honeywell’s management are laser-focused on making the world safer and more sustainable and have done so with your valuable feedback. I am proud of Honeywell’s ESG track record and encourage you to read our 2020 Corporate Citizenship Report, at https://hwll.co/csr2020, to learn more about what the Company has accomplished in the past year.

Honeywell remains one of the world’s largest and most admired companies – inventing and commercializing transformative technologies that address some of the most critical challenges in energy, safety, security, productivity, and urbanization. Darius and his leadership team continue to transform Honeywell into the world’s premier software-industrial company, and your diverse, independent, and highly-qualified Board has a strong mix of expertise and tenure to ensure active oversight and prudent governance while representing your interests both today and in the future.

I would like to thank Linnet Deily and Clive Hollick for their service to the Board, as they are both retiring after the 2021 Annual Meeting. Linnet and Clive have over 30 years of combined experience in serving the Company, and their insight and input have helped to shape Honeywell’s long-term strategy. It’s beenit was an honor and pleasure to serve with them on Honeywell’s Board over the past 15 years, and I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

him.

Sincerely,

HONEYWELL PERFORMANCE IN 2021
2021 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
In 2021, Honeywell continued its track record of execution during the prolonged global pandemic. We made targeted investments throughout the year to position us for future growth, while at the same time maintaining the streamlined cost base from our 2020 actions and executing our strong productivity playbook. We made swift pricing adjustments to combat outsized inflation in the market, and we took aggressive supply chain and engineering actions to mitigate the impact of global supply shortages. These actions allowed us to grow our business by 4% organically and deliver 60 basis points of margin expansion in a very challenging environment.

HONEYWELL PERFORMANCE IN 2021
STRATEGICALLY DEPLOYED CAPITAL
We continued to make investments in the businesses through research and development, capital expenditures, and M&A. Despite continued headwinds from the economic downturn, we strategically deployed capital into high-return growth investments that we believe will continue to benefit shareowners over the long term. We maintained a balanced capital deployment strategy consisting of the following actions:
Deployed approximately $900 million to high return capital expenditures.
Deployed more than $1.6 billion* to M&A and Honeywell Ventures, including the acquisitions of Sparta, Fiplex, Performix, and creation of Quantinuum from the combination of Honeywell Quantum Solutions (HQS) and Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC), adding strategic assets to our portfolio that enhance our technology offerings and innovation.
Announced an agreement to acquire US Digital Designs, Inc., expanding Honeywell's line of solutions for public safety communications and providing first responders with better situational awareness of building emergencies and improved life safety.
Raised our dividend for the twelfth time over eleven consecutive years.
Repurchased $3.4 billion in Honeywell shares, reducing the weighted average share count by 1.5%. This was the fourth consecutive year of deploying more than $6.0 billion of cash back to shareowners in the form of dividends and share repurchases, after spinning off approximately 20% of sales in 2018.
Issued $2.5 billion of debt at attractive long-term interest rates to further strengthen our balance sheet.

COVID-19 RESPONSE
SUPPORTED OUR EMPLOYEES
Provided special $500 awards to each of our frontline production and production support employees to recognize their dedication in keeping our manufacturing sites running, enabling all of our other COVID-19 relief efforts.
Honeywell paid for COVID-19 testing and treatment costs that are not covered by employees’ insurance, made paid sick time available up-front to U.S. non-exempt employees, and in certain other severely impacted regions, granted additional paid days off to employees faced with COVID-19 challenges.
Expanded access to well-being support programs and services, with regular communication from the Honeywell Medical Team and deployed a $10 million employee relief fund for employees in financial distress.
Provided financial assistance to the family members of Honeywell employees who passed away from COVID-19.
DELIVERED CRITICAL PRODUCTS
Leveraged manufacturing capabilities and investments to address unprecedented demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) and produced millions of N95 masks to help support the urgent need for critical safety equipment.
Expanded our integrated set of Healthy Buildings solutions to help building owners improve the health of their building environments, operate more cleanly and safely, comply with social distancing policies, track vaccination status, and reassure occupants that it is safe to return to the workplace.
Produced the Honeywell UV Cabin System to provide a safer and healthier air travel experience, significantly reducing certain viruses and bacteria on cabin surfaces.

Created care centers in Gurugram, Delhi, Nainital, Pune, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and Haryana, India equipped with beds, oxygen, PPE kits, medical supplies, and basic medical infrastructure for treating non-critical COVID-19 patients.
Built intensive care units in Mumbai and Bengaluru, India as well as critical care centers in Maharashtra and Karnataka, India with the equipment necessary to support critical COVID-19 patients.
HONEYWELL ACCELERATOR — OUR NEW OPERATING SYSTEM
This year, we revitalized our best-in-class operating system to further enhance the way we manage, govern, and operate the business day-to-day. Sustained process improvement is vital for any company to innovate for its customers, and while our operating system has been successful in the past, it needs to continue to evolve to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. As a result, in 2021, our operating system became Honeywell Accelerator with expanded tools and capabilities designed to provide a centralized source of best practices and training materials so that we can continue delivering for our stakeholders. Revitalizing our operating system will take us to the next level of performance and accelerate our transformation into a software-industrial company. This operating system spans across the entire enterprise, including all business units and functions, and is a framework that enables us to deliver superior services and products to our customers. The toolkit unlocks speed to innovation and enables us to execute on the Company’s strategic, operational, and financial objectives.
Examples of areas of acceleration:
Innovation and product development
Product delivery
Customer service and satisfaction
Achieving financial commitments
Mergers and acquisitions integration
Onboarding and career development
Reaching our environmental, social, and governance goals
TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVES
The Company continued to execute on its strategy to be a premier software-industrial company and maintained an industry-leading return on invested capital by continuing to aggressively deploy capital into high-return opportunities such as asset-light businesses, including software and services with recurring revenue streams.
SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION
Mitigated substantial sales risk in 2021 at a time of unprecedented supply chain constraints by deploying digital tools to manage the impact of shortages, by proactively identifying part substitutions, and by reengineering products with alternative components.
Continued to advance the Company’s Integrated Supply Chain transformation initiative, which aims to drive over $0.5 billion in long-term, run-rate savings through improved material productivity, streamlined manufacturing footprint, and automation of procurement processes.
Reduced manufacturing square footage by 34% since 2018.
Established regional manufacturing hubs to improve cycle time to customers and simplify logistics.
Invested over $50 million in robotics and automation to create predictable, resilient, and efficient processes, a 2x increase year-over-year.
Embraced digitization to deploy an end-to-end digital operational console based on Honeywell Forge.
These actions are helping to accelerate achievement of improved results for key metrics in the Company’s supply chain, including approximately $1 billion of cumulative direct material productivity since 2018.

2020 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

LOGO FINANCIAL RESULTS – DELIVERED ON OUR COMMITMENTS TO SHAREOWNERS

In 2020, Honeywell drove sequential improvements in key financial metrics through the COVID-19 downturn. We continued our track record of execution by moving quickly and decisively to ensure liquidity, drive growth, protect margins, and position ourselves for recovery.

Protected margin, driving sequential decremental margin improvement from 33% in the second quarter to 26% in the fourth quarter.

Deployed cost plans decisively, realizing $1.5 billion of year-over-year fixed cost savings.

Outperformed the market, delivering total shareowner returns more than double the Industrial Select Sector SPDR (XLI).

SUMMARY

LOGO COVID-19 RESPONSE

Ensured the Health and Safety of Our Employees

Honeywell paid for COVID-19 testing and treatment costs that are not covered by employees’ insurance and made paid sick time available up-front to U.S. non-exempt employees.

Established a $10 million employee relief fund for employees in financial distress and expanded access to well-being support programs and services, with regular communication from the Honeywell Medical Team.

Supported the Frontline Response

Ramped up production of personal protective equipment to address unprecedented demand and added manufacturing capabilities around the world to produce millions of N95 masks to help support the urgent need for critical safety equipment.

Shifted operations at two chemical manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Germany to produce and donate hand sanitizer to government agencies in response to shortages created by the pandemic.

Supported the fight against COVID-19 by increasing production of other critical personal protective equipment such as safety eyewear and face shields, increasing production of sensors used in ventilators, and providing testing services to ventilator manufacturers.

Innovated rapidly to provide creative solutions for new areas of customer demand.

Launched an integrated set of Healthy Buildings solutions to help building owners improve the health of their building environments, operate more cleanly and safely, comply with social distancing policies, and reassure occupants that it is safe to return to the workplace.

Developed the Honeywell UV Cabin System to provide a safer and healthier air travel experience, significantly reducing certain viruses and bacteria on cabin surfaces.

Partnered with pharmaceutical and bio-tech customers in our Aclar healthcare packaging business to develop innovative packaging solutions for future COVID-19 therapies and vaccines and launched Aclar Edge bottles and vials that enable ultra-high moisture barrier without the limitations of glass.

Launched the Honeywell ThermoRebellion temperature monitoring solution, which can be rapidly deployed at the entryway of a factory, airport, distribution center, stadium or other commercial building to quickly and efficiently identify whether personnel exhibit an elevated temperature using advanced, infrared imaging technology and artificial intelligence algorithms.

LOGO HONEYWELL OPERATING SYSTEM

This year showcased the Company’s strategic, operational, and financial agility through innovations – bringing new products to the market that address the pandemic – and in cost control – taking swift actions to structurally reduce the fixed cost base.

The Company could take decisive action quickly because of a clear operating system that drives operational rigor, strategic alignment, and efficiency. The Honeywell Operating System, or HOS, can be thought of as a framework and operating model, providing a tool kit in each functional area to ensure the appropriate financial resources are in place to support the Company’s strategy. These tool kits evolve and expand over time to continuously support business needs and ensure operating strength.

HOS provides the tools required to make data-driven decisions and to create operating efficiencies, which ultimately drive the Company’s financial performance. Honeywell’s general managers and functional leaders use these tools to drive execution. Everything the Company does is underpinned by a monthly centralized operating rhythm, which ensures the effective use of the tools.

LOGO TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVES

The Company continued to execute on its strategy to be a premier software-industrial company and maintained an industry-leading return on invested capital by continuing to aggressively deploy capital into high-return opportunities such as asset-light businesses, including software and services with recurring revenue streams.

Honeywell Connected Enterprise

Delivered double-digit recurring connected software sales growth and connected software margin that is accretive to overall Honeywell segment margin.

SUMMARY

Announced the acquisition of Sparta Systems, a leading provider of enterprise quality management software (QMS), including a next-generation software as a service (SaaS) platform, for the life sciences industry. The acquisition further strengthens Honeywell’s leadership in industrial automation, digital transformation solutions, and enterprise performance management software. Sparta’s AI-enabled SaaS QMS offering will combine with Honeywell Forge and Experion® Process Knowledge System to significantly enhance value for life sciences customers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Acquired Sine Group, a technology and SaaS company that provides visitor management, workplace, and supply chain solutions that are readily accessible with mobile devices. Sine’s technologies will support a cloud-based mobile platform for Honeywell Forge, Honeywell’s enterprise performance management offering, and Sine’s software will augment Honeywell’s Connected Buildings offerings with expanded safety, security, and compliance capabilities.

Announced a partnership with SAP to create a joint cloud-based solution to improve buildings by streamlining and combining operational and business data. This enables customers to benefit from building performance optimization, including reduced carbon footprint and lower energy cost as well as improved tenant experience. This will be especially useful as buildings come back online in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis as building owners are expected to focus on key performance indicators tied to enhanced occupant safety and reduced operating costs.

Announced a new partnership between Honeywell and Microsoft that will reshape the industrial workplace. Honeywell Forge and Microsoft Dynamics Field Service will provide cloud-based predictive solutions to building owners and operators through closed-loop maintenance workflows, and by strengthening business continuity and improving operational efficiency. Moving forward, the two companies are exploring more ways to bring innovation to customers by integrating Honeywell Forge Solutions with Microsoft Azure services such as Azure Digital Twins or Azure Edge capabilities.

Supply Chain Transformation

Advanced the Company’s Integrated Supply Chain transformation initiative, which aims to drive over $0.5 billion in long-term, run-rate savings through improved material productivity, streamlined manufacturing footprint, and automation of procurement processes.

Reduced manufacturing square footage by 11% since 2018.

Invested over $20 million in robotics and automation to streamline processes, minimizing waste and maximizing yield; and planning to invest more in 2021 to drive meaningful improvements in year-over-year quality.

Embraced digitization to create end-to-end visibility into our supply chain, which makes the Company more agile and lean.

Leveraged Honeywell Forge to gain insights into manufacturing processes that can drive further improvements. These actions are helping to accelerate achievement of improved results for key metrics in the Company’s supply chain, including approximately $750 million of cumulative direct material productivity since 2018.

Honeywell Digital

Standardized business models and deployed them on an enterprise-wide basis using the Honeywell Digital playbook to run the Company with data-driven decision making. The Company is on track to deliver $0.5 billion in run rate benefits across sales, productivity, and working capital improvements.

Reduced ERP systems, websites, applications, and call centers, driving significant benefits across the entire value chain, including creating greater transparency of information, simplifying IT architecture, and delivering a better customer experience.

Deployed a more coherent IT architecture, including platforms and infrastructure which enabled effective, seamless work-from-home capabilities across approximately 60 countries and nearly 80,000 employees.

SUMMARY

LOGO YEAR IN REVIEW – EXECUTING THROUGH AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR

In 2020, the Company performed with its usual level of operational rigor through the challenges of the global pandemic and economic downturn. Honeywell is proud of its work to quickly ramp up production of critical personal protective equipment to support frontline workers. The Company continued its balanced capital deployment strategy, raising its dividend for the eleventh time over ten consecutive years and completing three acquisitions. The Company also celebrated two key milestones in 2020: its return to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and its 100th anniversary as a publicly-listed company.

  LOGO

icon_checkmark.jpgPay for Performance. We closely align pay and performance, with a significant portion of target total direct compensation at-risk. The Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) validates this alignment annually and ensures performance-based compensation represents a significant portion of executive compensation.

  LOGO

No Excessive Perks. We do not provide perquisites except in cases where there is a compelling business or security reason, nor do we provide tax gross-ups, other than in connection with a Company-required relocation.

  LOGO

Performance

icon_checkmark.jpgRobust Performance Goals. We establish clear and measurable goals and targets and hold our executives accountable for achieving specified targets to earn a payout under our incentive plans. We use operational metrics for incentive compensation plans (ICP) and performance-based long term incentives. (LTI) to drive top and bottom-line growth over multiple time frames.

  LOGO

No Guaranteed Annual Salary Increases or Bonuses. Annual salary increases are based on evaluations of individual performance and the competitive market. In addition, we do not provide guarantees on bonus payouts.

  LOGO

Claw Back Practices. Allow for recoupment of incentive compensation for a significant financial restatement.

Honeywell's Board of Directors and its Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareowners


Proposal

Shareowner Proposal —
Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement
AGAINST
01  Shareowner proposal to give owners of a combined 10% of Honeywell outstanding stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting, if properly presented at the meeting
Honeywell's Board opposes the shareowner proposal for the following reasons:
Shareowners holding 15% of our outstanding shares already have the right to call a special meeting (either in-person or in a virtual format) at any time
Our robust shareowner outreach and engagement program provides shareowners with numerous avenues to voice their opinion and encourage Board accountability and responsiveness to shareowner feedback
In an unsolicited change in control scenario, the ability for a small minority of shareowners to call a special meeting can undermine the Board's ability to obtain the highest value for existing shareowners
A reduction in shareowner ownership threshold to call a special meeting is unnecessary given related Honeywell corporate governance best practices that are already in place
Proposal
5
Shareowner Proposal —
Climate Lobbying Report
AGAINST
Shareowner proposal requesting that the Board conduct an evaluation and issue a report describing alignment of Honeywell's lobbying activities with the Paris Agreement and how Honeywell plans to mitigate risk presented by any misalignment, if properly presented at the meeting
Honeywell's Board opposes the shareowner proposal because the Company has issued a report that substantially complies with the above request – the report is available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information)

Shareowner Proposal —
Environmental and Social Due Diligence
AGAINST
Shareowner proposal requesting that the Board report on Honeywell's due diligence process to identify and address environmental and social risks related to emissions, spills, or discharges from Honeywell's operations and value chain
Honeywell's Board opposes the shareowner proposal because the Company has issued a report that substantially complies with the above request – the report is available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information)

Notice and Proxy Statement | 2022

PROPOSAL NO. 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS



PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth a clear vision statement for the composition of the Board:

“The composition of Honeywell’s Board, as well as the perspective and skills of its individual members, needs to effectively support Honeywell’s growth and commercial strategy. Collectively, the Board must also be capable of overseeing risk management, capital allocation, and leadership succession. Board composition and the members’ perspective and skills should evolve at an appropriate pace to meet the challenges of Honeywell’s changing commercial and strategic goals.”

Consistent with this vision, the Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee (CGRC) has responsibility for identifying a slate of director nominees who collectively have the complementary experience, qualifications, skills, and attributes to guide the Company and function effectively as a Board.

The CGRC believes that each of the nominees presented in this proxy has key personal attributes that are important to an effective Board: integrity, candor, analytical skills, willingness to engage management and each other in a constructive and collaborative fashion, and ability and commitment to devote significant time and energy to service on the Board and its committees. The CGRC also considered the following specific experiences, qualifications, and skills, which Honeywell believes are critical in light of its strategic priorities, business objectives, operations, and structure.

DIRECTOR SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

I  STRATEGIC SKILLS

Global Experience. Growing sales outside of the United States, particularly in what the Company considers “high growth regions” or “HGRs” a central part of its long-term strategy for growth. Hence, exposure to markets and economies outside of the United States is an important qualification for Honeywell directors. This exposure can take many forms, including government affairs, regulatory, managerial, or commercial.

Regulated Industries/Government Experience. Honeywell is subject to a broad array of government regulations, and demand for its products and services can be impacted by changes in law or regulation in areas such as aviation safety, security, and energy efficiency. It is important to have directors with experiences in government and regulated industries that provide them with insight and perspective in working constructively and proactively with governments and agencies globally.

Innovation and Technology. With Honeywell’s transformation to a software-industrial company in the digital age, expertise in combining software programming capabilities with leading-edge physical products and domain knowledge is critical to opening and securing new growth paths for all of Honeywell’s businesses.

Marketing. Developing new markets for products and services is critical for driving growth. The Company’s directors who have that expertise provide a much-desired perspective on how to better market and brand Honeywell’s products and services.

Industries, End Markets, and Growth Areas. Experience in industries, end markets, and growth areas that Honeywell serves enables a better understanding of the issues facing these businesses. These areas include our Commercial Aerospace, Industrial Productivity, Non-Residential, Oil and Gas / Petrochemical, Defense and Space, and Specialty Chemicals end markets as well as growth areas such as life sciences and sustainable technology solutions.

I  CORE COMPETENCIES

Senior Leadership Experience. Experience serving as CEO or a senior executive as well as hands-on leadership experience in core management areas – such as strategic and operational planning, financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development – provide a practical understanding of complex organizations like Honeywell.

Public Company Board Experience. Service on the boards and board committees of other public companies provides an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends and insights into board management, relations between the board, the CEO and senior management, agenda setting, and succession planning.

Risk Management. In light of the Board’s role in risk oversight and the Company’s robust Enterprise Risk Management program, Honeywell seeks directors who can help identify, manage, and mitigate key risks, including cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, competition, brand integrity, human capital, and intellectual property.

Financial Expertise. The Company believes an understanding of finance and financial reporting processes is important for its directors to enable them to monitor and assess the Company’s operating and strategic performance and to ensure accurate financial reporting and robust controls. Honeywell seeks directors with background and experience in capital markets, corporate finance, accounting, and financial reporting.

BOARD SKILLSET MATRIX

The Honeywell Board adopted a skills and experience matrix to facilitate the comparison of its directors’ skills versus those deemed necessary to oversee the Company’s current strategy. The skills included in the matrix are evaluated against the Company’s articulated strategy each year so that the matrix can serve as an up-to-date tool for identifying director nominees who collectively have the complementary experience, qualifications, skills, and attributes to guide the Company. Honeywell’s 2021 Board skillset matrix reflecting the characteristics of its director nominees is below.

PROPOSAL NO. 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

COMMITMENT TO BOARD INTEGRITY,

DIVERSITY, AND INDEPENDENCE

In addition to ensuring that director nominees possess the requisite skills and qualifications, the CGRC places an emphasis on ensuring that nominees demonstrate the right leadership traits, personality, work ethic, independence, and diversity of background to align with the Company’s performance culture and long-term strategic vision. Specifically, these criteria include:

Exemplification of the highest standards of personal and professional integrity.

Potential contribution to the diversity and culture of the Board, including by virtue of age, educational background, global perspective, gender, ethnicity, and nationality.

Independence from management under applicable securities law, listing regulations, and Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Willingness to constructively challenge management through active participation in Board and committee meetings.

Ability to devote sufficient time to performing their Board and committee duties.

While the CGRC does not prescribe a diversity policy or standard, as a matter of practice, the Company is committed to enhancing both the diversity of the Board itself and the perspectives and values that are represented in Board and committee meetings. Honeywell’s slate of director nominees reflects this approach and the Board’s commitment to diversity.

LOGO

The CGRC believes that, in addition to diversity of personal characteristics and experiences, diversity of service tenures on the Honeywell Board also facilitates effective Board oversight. Directors with many years of service to Honeywell provide the Board with a deep knowledge of the Company, while newer directors lend fresh perspectives.

NOMINATION AND ELECTION PROCESS

Honeywell’s directors are elected at each Annual Meeting of Shareowners and hold office for one-year terms until the next Annual Meeting of Shareowners and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Honeywell’s By-laws provide that in any uncontested election of directors (an election in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected), any nominee who receives a greater number of votes cast “FOR” his or her election than votes cast “AGAINST” his or her election (excluding abstentions) will be elected to the Board of Directors. The By-laws also provide that any incumbent nominee who does not receive a majority of votes cast in an uncontested election is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board following the certification of the shareowner vote. This resignation will be promptly considered through a process managed by the CGRC, excluding any director nominees who did not receive a majority of votes cast to elect him or her to the Board.

The Board has nominated 1110 candidates for election as directors. In anticipation of Mr. Gregg’s retirement from the Board, the CGRC has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the nomination of Ms. Lee for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners to fill the vacancy. Ms. Lee was recommended as a director candidate by our Chief Executive Officer and was evaluated by the CGRC and Board in accordance with the procedures described in the “Evaluation and Nomination of Director Candidates section of this Proxy Statement. If any nominee should become unavailable to serve prior to the Annual Meeting, the shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy card or voted by telephone, via the Internet or by scanning the QR code will be voted for the election of such other person as may be designated by the Board. The Board may also determine to leave the vacancy temporarily unfilled or reduce the authorized number of directors in accordance with the By-laws.

Global
Experience
Growing sales outside of the United States, particularly in what the Company considers “high growth regions” or “HGRs” is a central part of its long-term strategy for growth. Hence, exposure to markets and economies outside of the United States is an important qualification for Honeywell directors. This exposure can take many forms, including government affairs, regulatory, managerial, orcommercial.
Regulated Industries/
Government
Experience
Honeywell is subject to a broad array of government regulations, and demand for its products and services can be impacted by changes in law or regulation in areas such as aviation safety, security, and energy efficiency. It is important to have directors with experiences in government and regulated industries that provide them with insight and perspective in working constructively and proactively with governments and agencies globally.
Innovation and
Technology
With Honeywell’s transformation to a software-industrial company in the digital age, expertise in combining software programming capabilities with leading-edge physical products and domain knowledge is critical to opening and securing new growth paths for all of Honeywell’s businesses.
Marketing
Developing new markets for products and services is critical for driving growth. The Company’s directors who have that expertise provide a much-desired perspective on how to better market and brand Honeywell’s products and services.
Industries, End-
Markets, and
Growth Areas
Experience in industries, end markets, and growth areas that Honeywell serves enables a better understanding of the issues facing these businesses. These areas include our Commercial Aerospace, Industrial Productivity, Non-Residential, Oil and Gas / Petrochemical, Defense and Space, and Specialty Chemicals end markets as well as growth areas such as life sciences and sustainable technology solutions.
ESG
Experience in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters enables management of ESG risks and opportunities as strategic business imperatives. With ESG at the forefront of Honeywell’s long-term strategy, it is important to have directors with expertise in products and solutions that support more sustainable outcomes, climate change drivers and impacts, corporate social responsibility, human capital management, inclusion and diversity, and corporate ethics.

CORE COMPETENCIES
image_141.jpg
image_142.jpg
image_143.jpg
image_144.jpg
Senior Leadership
Experience
Experience serving as CEO or a senior executive as well as hands-on leadership experience in core management areas – such as strategic and operational planning, financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development – provide a practical understanding of complex organizations like Honeywell.
Public Company
Board Experience
Service on the boards and board committees of other public companies provides an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends and insights into board management, relations between the board, the CEO and senior management, agenda setting, and succession planning.
Risk Management
In light of the Board’s role in risk oversight and the Company’s robust Enterprise Risk Management program, Honeywell seeks directors who can help identify, manage, and mitigate key risks, including cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, competition, brand integrity, human capital, and intellectual property.
Financial Expertise
The Company believes an understanding of finance and financial reporting processes is important for its directors to enable them to monitor and assess the Company’s operating and strategic performance and to ensure accurate financial reporting and robust controls. Honeywell seeks directors with background and experience in capital markets, corporate finance, accounting, and financial reporting.

BOARD SKILL SET MATRIX
The Honeywell Board adopted a skills and experience matrix to facilitate the comparison of its directors’ skills versus those deemed necessary to oversee the Company’s current strategy. The skills included in the matrix are evaluated against the Company’s articulated strategy each year so that the matrix can serve as an up-to-date tool for identifying director nominees who collectively have the complementary experience, qualifications, skills, and attributes to guide the Company.

In addition to ensuring that director nominees possess the requisite skills and qualifications, the CGRC places an emphasis on ensuring that nominees demonstrate the right leadership traits, personality, work ethic, independence, and diversity of background to align with the Company’s performance culture and long-term strategic vision. Specifically, these criteria include:
Exemplification of the highest standards of personal and professional integrity.

Independence from management under applicable securities law, listing regulations, and Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Willingness to constructively challenge management through active participation in Board and committee meetings.
Ability to devote sufficient time to performing their Board and committee duties.
The CGRC is committed to enhancing both the diversity of the Board itself and the perspectives and values that are represented in Board and committee meetings. In 2021, the CGRC formally adopted a requirement to interview diverse candidates prior to selecting new Board members.
In addition to diversity of personal characteristics and experiences, the CGRC believes that diversity of service tenures on the Honeywell Board also facilitates effective Board oversight.

SHAREOWNER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT

Understanding the issues that are important to shareowners is critical to ensuring that the Company addresses their interests in a meaningful and effective manner. It is also foundational to good corporate governance. Honeywell engages with shareowners on a regular basis throughout the year to discuss a range of topics, including performance, strategy, risk management, executive compensation, corporate governance, and sustainability. The Company recognizes the value of taking shareowners’ views into account. Dialogue and engagement with shareowners help set goals and expectations for performance and help identify emerging issues that may affect corporate governance, compensation practices, and other aspects of strategy and operations.

The Company’s shareowner and investor outreach and engagement take many forms. The Company participates in numerous investor conferences and analyst meetings, holds its own investor events, some of which focus on individual businesses held at Honeywell facilities, and meet one-on-one with shareowners in a variety of contexts and forums. As part of Honeywell’s governance-focused shareowner engagement program, members of the Board, including the Lead Director or the CGRC Chair, participate in many of these meetings to discuss a range of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters, including executive compensation, corporate governance, and sustainability. In addition, Honeywell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Investor Relations and other senior management engage with shareowners on a frequent basis throughout the year to discuss Honeywell’s strategy and financial and business performance and to provide updates on key developments.

Shareowner engagement during 2020 was robust. The Company held 32 one-on-one meetings with shareowners during 2020 (representing approximately 38% of outstanding shares) to discuss a wide range of business performance and ESG topics. In addition, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive officers hosted 105 one-on-one or small group shareowner meetings to discuss business performance, strategy, end-markets, and overall competitive landscape while seeking shareowner feedback.

I  VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING

Honeywell’s commitment to robust governance practices was evident in 2020 when we quickly pivoted to a virtual meeting format in response to COVID-19 safety concerns. The planning focused on facilitating shareowner attendance and ensuring a meaningful shareowner experience. Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO led the meeting and used the platform to speak directly to shareowners about Honeywell’s response to the pandemic. Proponents of the two shareowner proposals had a choice between presenting their statements live by dialing in to the meeting or providing a pre-recorded message, and shareowners also had an opportunity to submit questions both before and during the meeting. Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO answered most of the questions during the time allotted for Q&A, and the Company provided email responses to all other questions received. In comparison to typical in-person meetings, the Company believes the virtual format enabled more meaningful engagement and a greater level of information sharing with a broader group of shareowners. Considering ongoing COVID-19 safety concerns and our positive virtual meeting experience last year, the Board has chosen to hold the Company’s Annual Meeting in a virtual format again this year.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

I

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Honeywell’s CEO, Darius Adamczyk, has served as the Chairman of our Board since the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareowners. The decision to appoint Mr. Adamczyk as Chairman followed careful consideration by the Board and extensive engagement with shareowners. Understanding the importance of this leadership decision to the Company and its shareowners, the Board thoroughly explored the benefits and challenges of this appointment through an open-minded and unbiased decision-making process.

In reaching its decision to recombine the roles of Chairman and CEO under Mr. Adamczyk, the Board considered a wide range of factors as follows:

The benefits of a unified leadership structure during a period when Honeywell was in the process of a major portfolio realignment and a strategic shift designed to focus resources and management’s attention on high-growth businesses in six attractive industrial end markets where the Company can deploy its core technological strengths related to software, data analytics and the Industrial Internet of Things.

An evaluation of the strength of Mr. Adamczyk’s character, the quality of his leadership, and the likelihood that Mr. Adamczyk’s service as both Chairman and CEO would enhance Company performance; the Board continues to believe that an independent Chairman would not enhance Company performance or improve governance effectiveness under Mr. Adamczyk’s leadership.

The Board carefully weighed the views of its shareowners as part of the deliberations leading up to its decision to combine the roles and has continued to engage with shareowners on this topic during shareowner engagement meetings thereafter. The Company has continued to hear a range of views during those meetings, with most shareowners expressing confidence that the Honeywell Board understands the importance of good corporate governance and has the ability to make the right decisions regarding its ongoing leadership structure, specifically the determination of whether and when to separate and combine the roles of Chairman and CEO.

I

INDEPENDENT LEAD DIRECTOR

Honeywell’s independent Lead Director plays an important role in our governance structure, serving as the de facto leader of the independent directors, the single focal point charged with ensuring that the Board as a whole is providing appropriate independent oversight of management, and an ex officio member of each Board committee on which he or she does not otherwise serve. Over the past several years, the Board has continued to take action to strengthen the role of Lead Director, including amendments to the Corporate Governance Guidelines to formalize the role of the Lead Director in the recruitment and selection of new Board members and in the annual self-evaluation process.

The roles and responsibilities of the Lead Director are described in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which explicitly acknowledge that, in the absence of an independent Chairman, the Lead Director would assume the same roles and responsibilities, including:
As and when the Board considers adding new members, work with the CEO, the CGRC and the full Board to help identify and prioritize the specific skill sets, experience, and knowledge that candidates for election to the Board must possess.
Review, and when appropriate, make changes to Board meeting agendas and Board meeting schedules to ensure there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items.
Review, and when appropriate, make changes to presentation material and other written information provided to directors for Board meetings.
Preside at all Board meetings at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors, and apprise the Chairman of the issues considered.
Serve as liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors.
Be available for consultation and direct communication with the Company’s shareowners.
Call meetings of the independent directors when necessary and appropriate.
Retain outside professionals on behalf of the Board.
Consult with management about what information is to be sent to the Board.
Identify key strategic direction and operational issues upon which the Board’s annual core agenda is based.
Serve as an ex officio member of each committee on which he or she does not otherwise serve.
The Lead Director is selected biennially by Honeywell’s independent directors to serve a two-year term, considering the Lead Director selection criteria memorialized in its Corporate Governance Guidelines. Unless re-elected, the term of the Company’s current Lead Director, Mr. D. Scott Davis,Davis’ first two-year term will end effective as of Honeywell’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareowners.

The roles and responsibilities of the Lead Director are described in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which the Board amended in 2019 to formalize the equivalency of independent Lead Director and independent Chairman roles and responsibilities. The guidelines explicitly acknowledge that, in the absence of an independent Chairman, the Lead Director would assume the same roles and responsibilities, including:

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines state, “the Board intends that, at all times, a substantial majority of its directors will be considered independent under relevant NYSENasdaq and SEC guidelines.”

I

AFFIRMATIVE DETERMINATION OF INDEPENDENCE

To fulfill this intent, the Board regularly reviews the independence of each non-employee director to make an affirmative determination of independence. Specifically, the CGRC conducts an annual review of the independence of the directors and reports its findings to the full Board. This year, based on the report and recommendation of the CGRC, the Board has determined that each of the non-employee nominees standing for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting — Messrs. Angove, Ayer, Burke, Davis, Gregg, Odierno, and Paz and Mses. Flint, Lee, Lieblein, and Washington — and each of the current directors not standing for re-election — Ms. Deily and Mr. Hollick — satisfies the independence criteria in the applicable NYSENasdaq listing standards and SEC rules (including, where applicable, the enhanced criteria with respect to members of the Audit Committee and the MDCC). In addition, the Board determined that each of Judd Gregg, Linnet Deily, Clive Hollick, and Raymond Odierno, who each served on the Board during 2021, satisfied such independence criteria. Each Board committee member qualifies as a non-employee director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).

I Members of the Audit Committee and MDCC currently meet and, during the year ended December 31, 2021 met, the additional independence requirements of Nasdaq applicable to audit committee and compensation committee members.

CRITERIA FOR DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any material relationships with Honeywell either directly or asthat would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a partner, shareowner, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Honeywell, other than as a director or shareowner. Material relationships can include vendor, supplier, consulting, legal, banking, accounting, charitable, and family relationships, among others.director. The Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances in making its determinations, including the following:

No non-employee director or nominee receives any direct compensation from Honeywell other than under the director compensation program described in this Proxy Statement.

No immediate family member (within the meaning of the NYSENasdaq listing standards) of any non-employee director or nominee receives direct compensation from Honeywell other than compensation received for service as a non-executive employee.

30
footer_logo.jpg
Notice and Proxy Statement | 2022

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
No non-employee director or nominee is affiliated with Honeywell or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

No non-employee director or nominee is an employee of Honeywell’s independent accountants, and no non-employee director or nominee (or any of their respective immediate family members) is a current partner of Honeywell’s independent accountants, or was within the last three years, a partner or employee of Honeywell’s independent accountants and personally worked on Honeywell’s audit.

No non-employee director or nominee is a member, partner, or principal of any law firm, accounting firm, or investment banking firm that receives any consulting, advisory, or other fees from Honeywell.

No non-employee director or nominee has an immediate family member who is, or was during the past three years, an executive officer of Honeywell.

No Honeywell executive officer is on the compensation committee of the board of directors of a company that employs any of our non-employee directors or nominees (or any of their respective immediate family members) as an executive officer.

No non-employee director or nominee (or any of their respective immediate family members) is indebted to Honeywell, nor is Honeywell indebted to any non-employee director or nominee (or any of their respective immediate family members).

No non-employee director or nominee is an executive officer of a charitable or other tax-exempt organization that received contributions from Honeywell outside our director charitable match program.

Honeywell has commercial relationships (purchase and/or sale of products and services) with companies at which our directors serve or have served as officers within the past three years (Ms. Flint — Greater Toronto Airports Authority and Los Angeles World Airports, Mr. PazMs. LeeExpress Scripts,Cornerstone Building Brands and Dupont de Nemours, and Ms. Washington — Gilead Sciences). In each case:

The relevant products and services were provided on terms and conditions determined on an arm’s-length basis and consistent with those provided by or to similarly situated customers and suppliers;

The relevant director did not initiate or negotiate the relevant transaction, each of which was in the ordinary course of business of both companies; and

The combined amount of such purchases and sales was less than 0.0015% of the consolidated gross sales of each of Honeywell and the other company in each of the last three completed fiscal years. This level is significantly below the requirements of the NYSE listing standards for director independence, which uses a 2% of consolidated gross sales threshold and applies it to each of purchases and sales rather than the combination of the two.

The relevant products and services were provided on terms and conditions determined on an arm’s-length basis and consistent with those provided by or to similarly situated customers and suppliers;

The relevant director did not initiate or negotiate the relevant transaction, each of which was in the ordinary course of business of both companies; and
The combined amount of such purchases and sales was less than 0.1939% of the consolidated gross sales of each of Honeywell and the other company in each of the last three completed fiscal years. This level is significantly below the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards for director independence, which use a 5% of consolidated gross revenues threshold and applies it to each of purchases and sales rather than the combination of the two.
While a non-employee director’s or nominee’s service as an outside director of another company with which Honeywell does business would generally not be expected to raise independence issues, the Board also considered those relationships and confirmed the absence of any material commercial relationships with any such company. Specifically, those commercial relationships were in the ordinary course of business for Honeywell and the other companies involved and were on terms and conditions available to similarly situated customers and suppliers.

The above information was derived from Honeywell’s books and records and responses to questionnaires completed by directors in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement.

BOARD PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Agenda. The Board and its committees perform an annual review of the agenda items to be considered for each meeting. During that review and throughout the year, each Board and committee member is encouraged to suggest items for inclusion on future agendas.
Number of Meetings and Attendance.In 2021, the Board held six meetings, and the committees of the Board collectively held 19 meetings. The Board had 98% meeting attendance, and the directors’ average attendance rate at meetings of the committees of which they are members was 95%. Each of the directors participated in at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of Board meetings held during the period for which he or she was a director and the total number of meetings held by all Board committees on which he or she served (during the period he or she served).
Special Meetings. The Chairman, the CEO, the Lead Director, the CGRC Chair, and at the request of two independent directors, the Corporate Secretary, are permanently empowered and authorized to call special meetings of the Board at any time and for any reason.
Board Meeting Materials. Each director receives in advance the written material to be considered at every meeting of the Board and of the committees on which he or she is a member and can provide comments and suggestions.

SELF-EVALUATION
DEVELOP EVALUATION FORMLAUNCH EVALUATIONREVIEW FEEDBACKRESPOND TO INPUT
02  |The formal self-evaluation is in the form of written questionnaires administered by Board members, management, or third parties. Each year, the Lead Director and the CGRC discuss, consider, and approve the form of the evaluation.
Members of our Board, and each committee, participate in the formal evaluation process, responding to questions designed to elicit information to be used for improving Board and committee effectiveness.
Director feedback is solicited from the formal self-evaluation process and is shared verbatim on an anonymous basis with the entire Board and committee and, where appropriate, addressed with management.
In response to feedback from the evaluation process, the Board and committees work with management to take concrete steps to improve policies, processes, and procedures to further Board and committee effectiveness.
EVALUATION AND NOMINATION OF DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
Primary responsibility for identifying and evaluating director candidates and for recommending re-nomination of incumbent directors resides with the CGRC, which consists entirely of independent directors under applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Honeywell’s independent Lead Director is formally charged with responsibility for new director recruitment, including the responsibility of working with the Chairman and CEO, CGRC, and the full Board to help identify and prioritize the specific skill sets, experience, and knowledge that director candidates must possess.
The CGRC and Lead Director then establish criteria for director nominees based on these inputs. Although the Board has historically ensured a diverse slate of candidates for director nominees, in 2021 Honeywell adopted the requirement to interview diverse candidates prior to selecting new Board members. When identifying Board candidates, the CGRC requires that qualified candidates who are diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, and/or gender are included in the pool from which any new director nominee is selected, and that one or more diverse candidates have been interviewed before a successful candidate is identified. This is to ensure we continue to enhance both the diversity of the Board and the perspectives and values that are discussed in Board and committee meetings.
ASSESS   

CORPORATE

GOVERNANCEFrom time to time, the Board fills vacancies in its membership which arise between annual meetings of shareowners using the evaluation and nomination process.

IDENTIFY
Potential director candidates meeting the criteria established by the CGRC and Lead Director are identified either by reputation, existing Board members, or shareowners.
The CGRC is also authorized, at the expense of Honeywell, to retain search firms to identify potential director candidates, as well as other external advisors, including for purposes of performing background reviews of potential candidates.
Search firms retained by the CGRC are provided guidance as to the particular experience, skills, or other characteristics that the Board is then seeking.
The CGRC may delegate responsibility for day-to-day management and oversight of a search firm engagement to the Chairman and/or the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.
EVALUATE
Candidates are interviewed multiple times by the Chairman and CEO, Lead Director, other members of the Board, and certain executive officers to ensure that candidates not only possess the requisite skills and characteristics, but also the personality, leadership traits, work ethic, and independence of thought to effectively contribute as a member of the Board. One or more diverse candidates must be interviewed before a successful candidate is identified.
To ensure that the Board continues to evolve in a manner that serves the changing business and strategic needs of the Company, before recommending for re-nomination a slate of incumbent directors for an additional term, the CGRC also evaluates whether incumbent directors possess the requisite skills and perspective, both individually and collectively. This evaluation is based primarily on the results of the annual review it performs with the Board of the requisite skills and characteristics of Board members, as well as the composition of the Board as a whole and the results of the Board’s annual self-evaluation.
RECOMMEND
The Board nominates the successful candidate for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners. Director candidates are principally identified and evaluated in anticipation of upcoming director elections and other potential or expected Board vacancies.

OTHER BEST PRACTICE BOARD POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Annual Shareowner Meeting Attendance. Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines encourage all directors to attend our Annual Meeting of Shareowners. All of its directors attended last year’s virtual Annual Meeting.
Engagement with Management. The Board and its committees provide feedback to management, and management is required to answer questions raised by the directors during Board and committee meetings. Our senior management meets regularly with the Board, including yearly reviews of each business’ long-term strategic plan and annual operating plan.
Director Education. Honeywell’s Board believes that director education is vital to the ability of directors to fulfill their roles and supports Board members in their continuous learning. Directors may enroll in continuing education programs at Honeywell’s expense on corporate governance and critical issues associated with a director’s service on a public company board. The Board also hears regularly from management on numerous subjects, including investor sentiments, shareowner activism, regulatory developments, data privacy, and cybersecurity. In addition, the Board periodically participates in site visits to Honeywell’s facilities. For example, in 2020, Board members visited Honeywell’s Safety and Productivity Solutions facility in Charleston, South Carolina.
Director Orientation. All new directors participate in the Company’s director orientation program during the first year on the Board. New directors receive an extensive suite of onboarding materials covering director responsibilities, corporate governance practices and policies, business strategies, leadership structure, and long-term plans. Participation in regular Board and committee meetings also provides new directors with a strong foundation for understanding Honeywell’s businesses, connects directors with members of management with whom they will interact, and accelerates their effectiveness to engage fully in Board deliberations. Directors have access to additional orientation and educational opportunities upon acceptance of new or additional responsibilities on the Board or its committees.
Other Board Memberships. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors should not serve on more than four public company boards (including the Honeywell Board), and directors who serve as chief executive officer of a public company should not serve on more than two public company boards (excluding the board of the company of which such director is the chief executive officer).
Retirement Age Policy. Per Board policy, unless the Board otherwise determines, non-employee directors will retire from the Board upon the first Annual Meeting of Shareowners after reaching the age of 75.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. During 2021 fiscal year, all members of the MDCC were independent directors, and no member was an employee or former employee of Honeywell. No MDCC member had any relationship requiring disclosure under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” on page 104 of this Proxy Statement. During fiscal year 2021, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the compensation committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on the MDCC.
Administration of Executive Compensation Program. The MDCC administers the executive compensation program, including determination of the elements of the program and their relative weighting, incentive compensation plan targets, and award amounts. When administering the program, the MDCC considers recommendations from senior management regarding the overall executive compensation program and the individual compensation of the executive officers. As part of Honeywell’s annual planning process, the CEO, CFO, and Chief Human Resources Officer develop targets for Honeywell’s incentive compensation programs and present them to the MDCC. These targets are reviewed by the MDCC to ensure alignment with our strategic and annual operating plans, macroeconomic trends, and other identified opportunities and risks. The CEO recommends base salary adjustments and cash and equity incentive award levels for Honeywell’s other executive officers. These recommendations are based on performance appraisals (including an assessment of the achievement of pre-established financial and non-financial management objectives) together with a review of supplemental performance measures and prior compensation levels relative to performance.
Retention of Independent Compensation Consultant. The MDCC has sole authority to retain a compensation consultant to assist the MDCC in the evaluation of CEO, officer and other senior executive compensation, but only after considering all factors relevant to the consultant’s independence from management. In addition, the MDCC is directly responsible for approving the consultant’s compensation, evaluating its performance, and terminating its engagement. Under the MDCC’s established policy, its consultant cannot provide any other services to Honeywell without the MDCC’s approval, as delegated to the MDCC Chair. Since October 2009, the MDCC has retained Pearl Meyer (PM) as its independent compensation consultant. The MDCC regularly reviews the services provided by its outside consultants and performs an annual assessment of the independence of its compensation consultant to determine whether the compensation consultant is independent. The MDCC conducted a specific review of its relationship with PM in 2021 and determined that PM is independent in providing Honeywell with executive compensation consulting and limited other employee benchmarking services, and that PM’s work for the MDCC did not raise any conflicts of interest, consistent with SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards.
In making this determination, the MDCC reviewed information provided by PM on the following factors:
Any other services provided to Honeywell by PM.
Fees received by PM from Honeywell as a percentage of PM’s total revenue.
Policies and procedures maintained by PM to prevent a conflict of interest.
Any business or personal relationship between the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship and any MDCC member.
Any business or personal relationship between the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship, or PM itself, and Honeywell’s executive officers.
Any Honeywell stock owned by PM or the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship.
The MDCC noted that PM did not provide any services to the Company or its management other than service to the MDCC and limited other compensation benchmarking services. Unless approved by the MDCC Chair, PM does not provide, directly or indirectly through affiliates, any non-executive compensation services, including, but not limited to, pension consulting or human resources outsourcing. The MDCC will continue to monitor the independence of its compensation consultant on a regular basis.
PM compiles information and provides advice regarding the components and mix (short-term/long-term; fixed/variable; cash/ equity) of the executive compensation programs of Honeywell and its Compensation Peer Group (see page 55 of this Proxy Statement for further detail regarding the Compensation Peer Group) and analyzes the relative performance of Honeywell and the Compensation Peer Group with respect to stock performance and the financial metrics generally used in the programs. PM also provides the MDCC with information regarding emerging trends and best practices in executive compensation. In addition to information compiled by PM, the MDCC also reviews general survey data compiled and published by third parties. Neither the MDCC nor Honeywell has any input into the scope of or the companies included in these third-party surveys.
PM reports to the MDCC Chair, has direct access to MDCC members, attends MDCC meetings either in person, virtually or by telephone, and meets with the MDCC in executive session without management present.

I  ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Board uses the ERM program as a key tool for understanding the inherent risks facing Honeywell and assessing whether management’s processes, procedures and practices for mitigating those risks are effective. The ERM assessment deployed by management is based on an enterprise-wide “top down” and “bottom up” view of commercial, strategic, legal, compliance, human capital, cyber, and reputational risks and strategies for mitigating those risks. In 2020, the ERM program included interviews with the Chairman and CEO and each member of his leadership team as well as 82 workshop interviews with 96 risk owners and risk experts, covering 49 risk areas across all businesses and functions. In 2021, ERM-identified risks will drive over one-third of the audits to be conducted under the Internal Audit function’s annual plan.

|The Board uses the ERM program as a key tool for understanding the inherent risks facing Honeywell and assessing whether management’s processes, procedures and practices for mitigating those risks are effective.
The ERM assessment deployed by management is based on an enterprise-wide “top down” and “bottom up” view of commercial, strategic, legal, compliance, human capital, cyber, and reputational risks and strategies for mitigating those risks.
In 2021, the ERM program included interviews with the Chairman and CEO and each member of his leadership team as well as 111 workshop interviews with 89 risk owners and risk experts, covering 49 risk areas across all businesses and functions.
In 2022, ERM-identified risks will drive over 45% of the audits to be conducted under the Internal Audit function’s annual plan.
Both the Audit Committee and the full Board review the results of the annual ERM assessment.
During the reviews, Honeywell’s CFO and General Counsel jointly present the results of the ERM assessment in a manner designed to provide full visibility into the risks facing Honeywell and how management is mitigating those risks, thereby enabling the Board to effectively exercise its oversight function.
To facilitate continued monitoring and oversight by the Board, key risk areas identified during the ERM process and management’s associated mitigation activities become part of Board and/or committee meeting agendas for the following year.
Every three years, the ERM process includes one-on-one meetings with each Board member to discuss each director’s “top down” view of risks facing the enterprise, to solicit the director’s recommendations for improving the ERM process, and to ensure that the universe of risks and the metrics for identifying key risks, in terms of likelihood of occurrence and potential financial impact, is both realistic and appropriate.
Feedback from the one-on-one interviews with the individual Board members is presented to the full Board and incorporated in the Company’s ERM program and risk mitigation efforts.

SPOTLIGHT ON CYBERSECURITY
02  Cybersecurity is a critical component of the Company’s enterprise risk management program. The Company has established an information security framework to help safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets and ensure regulatory, operational, and contractual requirements are fulfilled. The Audit Committee oversees cybersecurity risk and the CGRC oversees data privacy compliance as part of its broader compliance mandate. Together they ensure that the Board has a comprehensive view of the Company's cybersecurity risk profile and framework. The Board receives annual cybersecurity updates from senior management, including the Chief Information and Product Security Officer, and the Audit Committee provides a deeper level of oversight through multiple engagements with senior management, including the Chief Information and Product Security Officer, each year to review the Company’s cybersecurity program, including the highest risk areas and key mitigation strategies. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, cyber threats and incidents, and the Audit Committee receives quarterly reports on any notable incidents that may have occurred during the quarter. To date, no such incidents have been material to the Company, and expenses incurred (including penalties or settlements, if any) in response to these incidents have been immaterial in any given fiscal year. To view details about our cybersecurity framework, please see our 2021 Corporate Citizenship Report at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information|).

OVERSIGHT OF STRATEGY

One of the Board’s primary responsibilities is overseeing management’s establishment and execution of the Company’s strategy and the associated risks. The full Board oversees strategy and strategic risk through robust and constructive engagement with management, taking into consideration Honeywell’s key priorities, global trends impacting our business, regulatory developments, and disruptors in our industries. The Board’s oversight of strategy primarily occurs through deep-dive annual reviews of the long-term strategic plans and annual operating plans of each of our businesses. During these reviews, management provides the Board with its view of the key commercial and strategic risks and opportunities faced by each business unit, and the Board provides management with robust feedback on whether management has identified the key risks and opportunities and is taking appropriate actions to mitigate risk. In addition to the review of each business’ strategic and annual plans, specific areas of risk and opportunity are tabled for further Board and/or committee discussion as specific risks arise or as requested by management or individual Board members to ensure additional Board engagement on the areas of risk that are most impactful to Honeywell’s strategic direction.

The Board’s oversight of strategy is prominent in the Company’s mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures activity. From strategy and vision to portfolio reviews, individual transaction approval, deal execution, and integration, the Board is engaged in all aspects of the Company’s mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other corporate development activities. With the ultimate goal of achieving outcomes that promote long-term shareowner value, the Board annually engages in a rigorous, thorough, and unbiased review of Honeywell’s portfolio and devotes a substantial amount of time at each Board meeting to pressure test potential transactions, review deal execution, monitor integration, and assess long-term outcomes.

OVERSIGHT OF ESG MATTERS
Honeywell takes seriously its commitment to corporate social responsibility, protection of the environment, and creation of sustainable opportunity everywhere it operates. This commitment underlies the principle that good business, economic growth, and social responsibility work together. Honeywell’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives are aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy, both informing and supporting Honeywell’s strategic plans. This alignment emerges from the inclusion of Environmental and Social (E&S) considerations in scenario planning and other strategic processes where E&S-related business risks and opportunities are identified and addressed.
The Board’s engagement and oversight extends to E&S initiatives in four principle ways:
IThe Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee (CGRC) has primary jurisdiction for managing risks and opportunities associated with E&S, meeting at least once a year with the Chief Sustainability Officer, the Senior Vice President for Government Relations, the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer and other leaders with responsibility for E&S to review and discuss various E&S topics.
Direct Audit Committee and Board engagement with E&S risk areas through a robust and comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management program.
Direct Board engagement on select E&S topics. In the past 12 months, management has presented to the Board on a variety of E&S initiatives such as inclusion and diversity, safety, business resiliency, and environmental matters.
Feedback from engagement with shareowners. The Board values shareowners’ perspectives on corporate responsibility and sustainability, and the Company (oftentimes with our Lead Director or CGRC Chair) engages directly with shareowners throughout the year to discuss activities, goals and achievements in these areas and to hear shareowners’ views and suggestions so that the feedback can be provided to directors.

COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Honeywell’s commitment to being environmentally responsible is reflected in the extensive work done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, conserve water, minimize waste, and drive efficiency throughout its operations. The Company champions responsible remediation projects and efforts to make its operations and products safer and more sustainable.

Honeywell has a history of establishing and achieving public sustainability goals and remains on track to achieving its 10-10-10 goals by 2024. In April 2021, the Company committed to becoming carbon neutral in its operations and facilities by 2035 and to addressing indirect emissions, including emissions in its value chain. In February 2022, the Company submitted its Commitment Letter to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) committing to develop a science-based target in line with their protocols that will include Scope 3 emissions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
10-10-10 Goals by 2024. Honeywell remains on track to:
Carbon Neutrality by 2035.Honeywell has committed to:
pg166791_iconxcheckmark.jpg Reduce global Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse emissions by an additional 10% per dollar of sales from 2018 levels.
pg166791_iconxcheckmark.jpg Deploy at least 10 renewable energy opportunities.
pg166791_iconxcheckmark.jpg Achieve certification to ISO’s 50001 Energy Management Standard at 10 facilities.
pg166791_iconxcheckmark.jpg Become carbon neutral in its operations and facilities (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2035 through a combination of further investment in energy savings projects, conversion to renewable energy resources, completion of capital improvement projects, and utilization of credible carbon offsets.
pg166791_iconxcheckmark.jpg Address Scope 3 indirect emissions, including emissions in the value chain, by enhancing its existing tracking system, partnering with industry leaders to identify and implement best practices, and encouraging customers to adopt Honeywell’s climate offerings.

Honeywell reports on its global greenhouse gas emissions publicly through CDP, a U.K.-based organization that supports companies’ and cities’ environmental disclosures, various regulatory agencies, and its website, investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/Sustainability).

Honeywell’s Sustainable Opportunity policy is based on the principle that by integrating health, safety, and environmental considerations into all aspects of its business, Honeywell:
Protects its people and the environment;
Drives compliance with all applicable regulations;
Achieves sustainable growth and accelerated productivity; and
Develops technologies that expand the sustainable capacity of our world.
Honeywell Accelerator, which drives sustainable improvements and the elimination of waste in manufacturing operations to generate exceptional performance, is a critical component of how the Company thinks about sustainability. Accelerator is a lean-based manufacturing system with roles and ownership for all employees from the plant floor to the boardroom to engage in careful planning and analysis, continuous employee engagement in improvement, and thorough follow-through.
Honeywell has built sustainability directly into Honeywell Accelerator, so the tools, personnel, activities and culture are used to drive sustainability with the same focus that the Company uses to propel other critical operational objectives such as quality, delivery, inventory and cost. This ensures that sustainability is an integrated and essential part of the Honeywell work experience every day. Progress on our sustainability program is a factor in determining annual incentive compensation for senior leadership.

SPOTLIGHT ON HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT, PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY (HSEPS)
Honeywell’s HSEPS matters are managed by a global team of more than 800 trained professionals with extensive knowledge and hundreds of years of collective experience in occupational health, chemistry, hydrology, geology, engineering, safety, industrial hygiene, materials management, and energy efficiency. 
Honeywell’s Chief Sustainability Officer reports to the Company’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel and has overall responsibility for HSEPS programs. A Corporate Energy and Sustainability Team, led by the Chief Sustainability Officer, the Vice President for Global Real Estate and the Senior Director of Sustainability, helps drive the Company’s sustainability goals. Progress on these goals is reported to Honeywell’s CEO on a quarterly basis and is reviewed with the CGRC at least annually.We provide HSEPS disclosure in alignment with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frameworks. To view these disclosures and details about our environmental achievements, please see our 2021 Corporate Citizenship Report at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OVERSIGHT OF POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Engagement in the political process is critical to Honeywell’s success. The Company’s future growth depends on forward-thinking legislation and regulation that makes society safer and more energy efficient and improves public infrastructure. The Company strives to engage responsibly in the political process and to ensure that its participation is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, our principles of good governance, and our high standards of ethical conduct.
MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OVERSIGHT
The Law Department oversees the Company’s lobbying activities. Honeywell’s Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the Senior Vice President and General Counsel and works closely with the VP and General Counsel, ESG and Deputy Corporate Secretary, whose organization ensures compliance with our political spending policy. The Company’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel and its Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations meet regularly with Honeywell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his leadership team to review legislative, regulatory and political developments. Honeywell’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Global Government Relations must approve any membership in a trade association that would receive more than $50,000 in membership dues from Honeywell in any fiscal year, and they also review trade association memberships annually to assess performance and alignment with Honeywell's foundational values and business objectives to determine if continued membership is appropriate.
With respect to Board oversight, Honeywell’s public policy efforts, including all lobbying activities, political contributions, and payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations, are the responsibility of the CGRC, which consists entirely of independent, non-employee directors. Each year the CGRC receives an annual report on the Company’s policies and practices regarding political contributions. In addition, each year, the Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the CGRC on trade association memberships and to the full Board on the global lobbying and government relations program. The CGRC’s oversight of the Company’s political activities ensures compliance with applicable law and alignment with our policies, strategic priorities, Code of Business Conduct, and values.
SPOTLIGHT ON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS ADVISORY BOARD
In 2020, the Company established a bipartisan Political Contributions Advisory Board (Advisory Board) of leaders representing a cross-section of Honeywell who meet regularly to review proposed HIPAC disbursements to assess alignment with Honeywell's foundational principles — Integrity and Ethics, Inclusion and Diversity, and Workplace Respect. Neither the CEO nor anyone from his staff sits on the Advisory Board.
In 2022, the Company expanded the Advisory Board's mandate to include assessment of alignment to the Company's sustainability goals as well as review of proposed disbursements of HIPAC and corporate funds to trade associations and other organizations.
The Advisory Board meets at the start of each Congress, and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine whether proposed recipients of funding are eligible based on alignment with Honeywell's foundational values and sustainability objectives.
Advisory Board decisions are informed by independent third-party due diligence reports identifying statements or activities that present potential misalignment with the Company's foundational principles or sustainability goals.
Advisory Board decisions are documented and reported quarterly to the HIPAC Board of Directors and to Honeywell's Chairman and CEO. Honeywell's Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations also includes notable Advisory Board decisions in his annual report to the CGRC.
TRANSPARENCY
Honeywell is committed to providing transparent disclosure of political contributions and lobbying activities. Based on feedback from stakeholders, Honeywell has continued to enhance its political engagement disclosures. Disclosures are available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/Political Contributions”).
When considering what to include in disclosures, Honeywell makes every effort to be accurate, comprehensive and detailed, and consider the perspective of the Company’s largest shareowners. Disclosures include explanations of the Company’s rationale for engaging in the political process, identify top legislative and regulatory priorities, and define its governance processes. The Company’s disclosures also address the use of corporate funds for political contributions and contributions to tax-exempt organizations that may use funds for political purposes; supply details regarding Honeywell’s exclusively employee-funded political action committee, HIPAC, including its disbursements; and provide streamlined and direct access to federal, state and local lobbying reports. In 2020, Honeywell further enhanced its disclosures to include a list of trade associations receiving membership dues of $50,000 or more from Honeywell annually and the corresponding non-deductible portion of the dues.

The strength of the Company’s culture is essential to fulfilling its strategic vision, and the Board and the MDCC work with management to monitor compliance with the foundational principlesoversee adherence to our core values and measure progress against the Honeywell Behaviors.

Each of the Board’s committees plays a role in ensuring that our core values remain at the center of Honeywell’s culture.
The CGRC meets regularly with our Chief Compliance Officer to review the Company’s integrity and compliance program, policies, and scorecard.
The Audit Committee receives detailed investigation reports on a quarterly basis to monitor trends, ensure that allegations are investigated promptly, and as necessary, confirm that appropriate disciplinary measures are taken in a timely fashion.
The MDCC has responsibility for working with management to monitor workplace culture, establish diversity expectations, and review progress.
The Board is also closely engaged in the development and management of human capital. The Board’s involvement in leadership development and succession planning is systematic and ongoing, and the Board provides input on important decisions in each of these areas. The Board has primary responsibility for succession planning for the CEO and oversight over succession planning for other executive officer positions. Annually, the full Board reviews the leadership succession plan for the CEO and his direct reports, which includes identification of ‘ready now’ successors, management’s view of potential successors that are not “ready now” but will be ready within a reasonable timeframe, and development actions necessary to address any gaps in the leadership succession plan. Also discussed are recent and future potential changes involving various leaders and their organizations. In addition, the Board meets regularly with high-potential executives, both in small group and one-on-one settings.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board believes that workforce diversity represents a fundamental business opportunity as the Company plans and executes its long-term strategy. The Board and the MDCC oversee the Company’s progress and actions in this important area through engagement in succession planning, management development, and compensation review processes that take into account outcomes and metrics for diverse groups. Review of diversity performance is also a standing Board agenda item, providing an opportunity for the Board to engage directly with senior management to analyze workforce metrics that measure diversity of new hires and internal promotions as compared to that of the available pool of qualified talent, discuss trends, review OFCCPOffice of Federal Contract Compliance Programs audits, and oversee enterprise-wide efforts to drive hiring, promotion, and retention of diverse talent.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
Inclusion and Diversity is a Foundational Principle at Honeywell. The Board believes that its diversity (four women, two Hispanic, one Asian, and two African American) and the diversity of Honeywell’s executive leadership (half of the Company’s executive officers are diverse by ethnic background, non-U.S. place of birth, or gender) is core to its success and a testament to Honeywell’s ongoing commitment to hiring, developing, and retaining diverse talent, and fostering an inclusive culture. The Company’s commitment to I&D enables better decision-making, helps build competitive advantages, and furthers long-term success. Working at Honeywell requires fully embracing I&D, and Honeywell expects all employees to exemplify its I&D principles accordingly.
In 2021, Honeywell took several notable actions to promote racial equality and I&D:
Appointed its inaugural Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer and created a new I&D Center of Excellence with I&D Leaders for each business unit focusing on three priorities: representation, retention, and recognition.
Reinforced its commitment to I&D and our zero-tolerance policy on discrimination through a series of senior executive-sponsored listening sessions; the Company continues to emphasize this message through training programs and regular communications.
Deployed unconscious bias training and launched inclusive leadership training to our global workforce to educate and influence behavior.
Established the I&D Ambassador program which leverages employee volunteers from the Company’s seven employee networks which are open to all employees in support of women, Black, Asian, Hispanic, veteran, LGBTQ+, and All Abilities employees with disabilities to support recruitment and interview efforts for interns, entry-level and experienced candidates.
Continued the Global Inclusion and Diversity Steering Committee (co-sponsored by Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO) and I&D Councils in each business group.
Entered a five-year corporate sponsorship with the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Part of the Smithsonian Institution, this museum hosts millions of visitors each year and focuses on the richness, diversity and resiliency of the African American experience. This partnership enables robust learning and virtual volunteering opportunities for Honeywell employees of all races and backgrounds.
Sponsored the Carolina Youth Coalition, a nonprofit organization that prepares high-achieving, under-resourced high school students to get into, excel at, and graduate from college.
Continued to expand recruitment efforts at diversity conferences, historically Black colleges and universities, and Hispanic serving institutions by appointing executive champions and targeted engagement teams.
Established 2022 goals for each direct CEO staff officer that includes an annual objective of driving diversity within their organization.
Honeywell’s I&D strategy focuses on five key pillars, and we are driving a number of strategic initiatives behind each one, as follows:
Talent Acquisition. Honeywell provides training and resources to hiring managers to reinforce their role in bringing diverse talent into the organization. The Company applies a “diversity of slate” requirement when hiring for any exempt role in the U.S. or for any management, professional, or senior administrative role globally. This means that all managers must interview at least one diverse candidate when hiring for these roles, and any exception must be reported to the responsible human resources leader for approval prior to filling the position. Senior management monitors compliance through the use of diversity scorecards. This approach helps ensure that women and people of color are represented as the Company selects the best candidate.
Talent Management. Honeywell launched its Women’s Career Advancement Program (WCAP) in 2019, which focuses on each participant’s career advancement and empowerment through training and development experiences, and by expanding their internal networks for promotional opportunities. In 2020, Board member Robin L. Washington participated in the program kick-off meeting, underscoring the Board’s focus and commitment to this important initiative. In 2021, the Company expanded its commitment and launched the Diversity Career Advancement Program (DCAP), to include people of color, and Board member Deborah Flint was one of the program’s noted speakers. Both the WCAP and DCAP are being conducted in 2022 and are co-sponsored by Company officers.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Branding and Communication. To attract and retain diverse talent, the Company aims to showcase its culture and values as well as its commitment to inclusion and diversity. The Company’s #futureshapers brand campaign continues to focus on storytelling by a highly diverse array of Honeywell employees and seeks to humanize the brand by authentically tying innovative solutions and technologies back to its talent and their work at Honeywell.
Strategic Partnerships. Honeywell is involved with a range of external professional organizations, including the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Engineers, the Anita Borg Institute, Catalyst, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, and Disability:IN. In 2019, the Company launched its partnership with the Executive Leadership Council, an organization that supports the development of global Black leaders by delivering programs for Black employees to develop skills for executive/C-Suite roles. Honeywell also partners with top academic institutions for their quality of programs and commitment to creating a diverse student population and future workforce.
Business Operations. Honeywell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a signatory to the Catalyst CEO Champions for Change Pledge and in 2021, Mr. Adamczyk signed the Disability:IN pledge which was a personal affirmation and an organizational commitment to hire inclusively, contract with disability-owned business enterprises, and create accessible tools and technology for all. Honeywell also announced its support of the Equality Act, legislation that would provide the same basic protections to LGBTQ people as are provided to other protected groups under federal law. From the C-Suite to the shop floor, the Company’s leaders are expected to exemplify behaviors that promote an open and inclusive culture, and Honeywell helps managers develop this skill as they do any other leadership skill though training programs, interactive learning, and real-time events.

I  OVERSIGHT OF COVID-19 RESPONSE

The Board has been closely engaged with management from the earliest days of the COVID-19 crisis as the Company continues to navigate the challenges of the pandemic. The Board’s focus at the onset of the crisis was to monitor and oversee management’s efforts to ensure the health and safety of Honeywell’s employees and to support their communities. As a provider of essential products and services, maintaining business continuity and the productive capability of the Company’s facilities and its supply chain was paramount. In the face of economic uncertainty and disruption to the Company’s end-markets, the Board was also focused on further strengthening the balance sheet and managing costs while ensuring that the Company did not lose sight of long-term strategic initiatives, transformation goals, and new opportunities. To monitor and provide oversight in the volatile environment, the Board met more frequently and received detailed and frequent communication from management. The Board continues to work closely with management to oversee the Company’s ongoing response to the challenges posed by the pandemic.

I  OVERSIGHT OF CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity is a critical component of the Company’s enterprise risk management program. The Company has established an information security framework to help safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets and ensure regulatory, operational, and contractual requirements are fulfilled. The framework is aligned to industry standards including: NIST SPs 800-53 and 800-171, International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) 27702 and 22301, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) program. In addition, the Company has received Cyber Essential Scheme (CES) certification and ISO 27001 certification for certain businesses, complies with the IASME standard, has completed the CyberGRX Tier 3 assessment, and maintains a cybersecurity insurance policy. The Board and the Audit Committee provide oversight over cybersecurity risk. The Board receives annual cybersecurity updates from senior management, including the Chief Information and Product Security Officer, and the Audit Committee provides a deeper level of oversight through multiple engagements with senior management, including the Chief Information and Product Security Officer, each year to review the Company’s cybersecurity program, including the highest risk areas and key mitigation strategies. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, cyber threats and incidents, and the Audit Committee receives quarterly reports on any notable incidents that may have occurred during the quarter. To date, no such incidents have been material to the Company, and expenses incurred (including penalties or settlements, if any) in response to these incidents have been immaterial in any given fiscal year.

BOARD PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES

I  BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

Agenda. The Board and its committees perform an annual review of the agenda items to be considered for each meeting. During that review and throughout the year, each Board and committee member is encouraged to suggest items for inclusion on future agendas.

Number of Meetings and Attendance. In 2020, the Board held seven meetings, and the committees of the Board collectively held 19 meetings. The Board had 100% meeting attendance, and the directors’ average attendance rate at meetings of the committees of which they are members was 99.5%. Each of the directors participated in at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of Board meetings held during the period for which he or she was a director and the total number of meetings held by all Board committees on which he or she served (during the period he or she served).

Special Meetings. The Chairman, the Lead Director, the CGRC Chair, and at the request of two independent directors, the Corporate Secretary, are permanently empowered and authorized to call special meetings of the Board at any time and for any reason.

Board Meeting Materials. Each director receives in advance the written material to be considered at every meeting of the Board and of the committees on which he or she is a member and can provide comments and suggestions.

I  SELF-EVALUATION

Objective. The Board and each of its committees conduct a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness throughout the year. Committee members can provide input directly to the Lead Director, committee chairs or management. A more formal self-evaluation is launched in January of each year and the feedback gleaned from the evaluation is utilized to facilitate and enable Board refreshment and an appropriate evolution of Board skills, experiences, and perspectives specifically with a view toward eliciting feedback on whether our directors’ skills are matched to Honeywell’s strategic needs and its risk profile.

Process. The Lead Director, together with the CGRC Chair, are jointly responsible for leading the self-evaluation process which includes the development and approval of the evaluation by the CGRC, its administration through a third party, summarization of the results, and its report out to the full Board on an anonymous basis.

I  OTHER BEST PRACTICE BOARD PROCEDURES

Annual Shareowner Meeting Attendance. Honeywell’s Corporate Governance Guidelines encourage all directors to attend our Annual Meeting of Shareowners. All of its directors attended last year’s virtual Annual Meeting.

Engagement with Management. The Board and its committees provide feedback to management, and management is required to answer questions raised by the directors during Board and committee meetings. Our senior management meets regularly with the Board, including yearly reviews of each business’ long-term strategic plan and annual operating plan.

Director Education. Honeywell’s Board believes that director education is vital to the ability of directors to fulfill their roles and supports Board members in their continuous learning. Directors may enroll in continuing education programs at Honeywell’s expense on corporate governance and critical issues associated with a director’s service on a public company board. The Board also hears regularly from management on numerous subjects, including investor sentiments, shareowner activism, regulatory developments, data privacy and cybersecurity. In addition, the Board periodically participates in site visits to Honeywell’s facilities. For example, in 2020, Board members visited Honeywell’s Safety and Productivity Solutions facility in Charleston, South Carolina.

Director Orientation. All new directors participate in the Company’s director orientation program during the first year on the Board. New directors receive an extensive suite of onboarding materials covering director responsibilities, corporate governance practices and policies, business strategies, leadership structure, and long-term plans. Participation in regular Board and committee meetings also provide new directors with a strong foundation for understanding Honeywell’s businesses, connects directors with members of management with whom they will interact, and accelerates their effectiveness to engage fully in Board deliberations. Directors have access to additional orientation and educational opportunities upon acceptance of new or additional responsibilities on the Board or its committees.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board currently has three committees. All members of each committee are independent, non-employee directors. Each committee operates under a written charter, which is available at investor.honeywell.com (see “Corporate Governance/Board Committees”).

Evaluation and Nomination of Director Candidates. Primary responsibility for identifying and evaluating director candidates and for recommending re-nomination of incumbent directors resides with the CGRC, which consists entirely of independent directors under applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Honeywell’s independent Lead Director also is formally charged with responsibility for new director recruitment, including the responsibility of working with the Chairman and CEO, CGRC, and the full Board to help identify and prioritize the specific skill sets, experience, and knowledge that director candidates must possess. The CGRC and Lead Director then establish criteria for director nominees based on these inputs.

Nomination of New Candidates. Potential director candidates meeting the criteria established by the CGRC and Lead Director are identified either by reputation, existing Board members, or shareowners. The CGRC is also authorized, at the expense of Honeywell, to retain search firms to identify potential director candidates, as well as other external advisors, including for purposes of performing background reviews of potential candidates. Search firms retained by the CGRC are provided guidance as to the particular experience, skills, or other characteristics that the Board is then seeking. The CGRC may delegate responsibility for day-to-day management and oversight of a search firm engagement to the Chairman and/or the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.

Candidates are interviewed multiple times by the Chairman and CEO, Lead Director, other members of the Board and certain executive officers to ensure that candidates not only possess the requisite skills and characteristics, but also the personality, leadership traits, work ethic, and independence of thought to effectively contribute as a member of the Board. After this process, the Board nominates the successful candidate for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners. Director candidates are principally identified and evaluated in anticipation of upcoming director elections and other potential or expected Board vacancies. From time to time, the Board fills vacancies in its membership which arise between annual meetings of shareowners using the process described above.

Re-nomination of Incumbents. To ensure that the Board continues to evolve in a manner that serves the changing business and strategic needs of the Company, before recommending for re-nomination a slate of incumbent directors for an additional term, the CGRC also evaluates whether incumbent directors possess the requisite skills and perspective, both individually and collectively. This evaluation is based primarily on the results of the annual review it performs with the Board of the requisite skills and characteristics of Board members, as well as the composition of the Board as a whole and the results of the Board’s annual self-evaluation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. During fiscal year 2020, all members of the MDCC were independent directors, and no member was an employee or former employee of Honeywell. No MDCC member had any relationship requiring disclosure under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” on page 91 of this Proxy Statement. During fiscal year 2020, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the compensation committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on the MDCC.

LOGO

Administration of Executive Compensation Program. The MDCC administers the executive compensation program, including determination of the elements of the program and their relative weighting, incentive compensation plan targets, and award amounts. When administering the program, the MDCC considers recommendations from senior management regarding the overall executive compensation program and the individual compensation of the executive officers. As part of Honeywell’s annual planning process, the CEO, CFO, and Chief Human Resources Officer develop targets for Honeywell’s incentive compensation programs and present them to the MDCC. These targets are reviewed by the MDCC to ensure alignment with our strategic and annual operating plans, macroeconomic trends, and other identified opportunities and risks. The CEO recommends base salary adjustments and cash and equity incentive award levels for Honeywell’s other executive officers. These recommendations are based on performance appraisals (including an assessment of the achievement of pre-established financial and non-financial management objectives) together with a review of supplemental performance measures and prior compensation levels relative to performance.

LOGO

Retention of Independent Compensation Consultant. The MDCC has sole authority to retain a compensation consultant to assist the MDCC in the evaluation of CEO, officer and other senior executive compensation, but only after considering all factors relevant to the consultant’s independence from management. In addition, the MDCC is directly responsible for approving the consultant’s compensation, evaluating its performance, and terminating its engagement. Under the MDCC’s established policy, its consultant cannot provide any other services to Honeywell without the MDCC’s approval, as delegated to the MDCC Chair. Since October 2009, the MDCC has retained Pearl Meyer (PM) as its independent compensation consultant.

The MDCC regularly reviews the services provided by its outside consultants and performs an annual assessment of the independence of its compensation consultant to determine whether the compensation consultant is independent. The MDCC conducted a specific review of its relationship with PM in 2020 and determined that PM is independent in providing Honeywell with executive compensation consulting and limited other employee benchmarking services, and that PM’s work for the MDCC did not raise any conflicts of interest, consistent with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards.

In making this determination, the MDCC reviewed information provided by PM on the following factors:

Any other services provided to Honeywell by PM.

Fees received by PM from Honeywell as a percentage of PM’s total revenue.

Policies and procedures maintained by PM to prevent a conflict of interest.

Any business or personal relationship between the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship and any MDCC member.

Any business or personal relationship between the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship, or PM itself, and Honeywell’s executive officers.

Any Honeywell stock owned by PM or the individual PM consultants assigned to the Honeywell relationship.

The MDCC noted that PM did not provide any services to the Company or its management other than service to the MDCC and limited other employee benchmarking services. Unless approved by the MDCC Chair, PM does not provide, directly or indirectly through affiliates, any non-executive compensation services, including, but not limited to, pension consulting or human resources outsourcing. The MDCC will continue to monitor the independence of its compensation consultant on a regular basis.

PM compiles information and provides advice regarding the components and mix (short-term/long-term; fixed/variable; cash/equity) of the executive compensation programs of Honeywell and its Compensation Peer Group (see pages 47 and 48 of this Proxy Statement for further detail regarding the Compensation Peer Group) and analyzes the relative performance of Honeywell and the Compensation Peer Group with respect to stock performance and the financial metrics generally used in the programs. PM also provides the MDCC with information regarding emerging trends and best practices in executive compensation. In addition to information compiled by PM, the MDCC also reviews general survey data compiled and published by third parties. Neither the MDCC nor Honeywell has any input into the scope of or the companies included in these third-party surveys.

PM reports to the MDCC Chair, has direct access to MDCC members, attends MDCC meetings either in person, virtually or by telephone, and meets with the MDCC in executive session without management present.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

Honeywell takes seriously its commitment to corporate social responsibility, protection of its environment, and creation of sustainable opportunity everywhere it operates. This unwavering commitment underlies the principle that good business, economic growth, and social responsibility work together. Honeywell’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives are aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy, both informing and supporting Honeywell’s strategic plans. This alignment emerges from the inclusion of Environmental and Social (E&S) considerations in scenario planning and other strategic processes where E&S-related business risks and opportunities are identified and addressed.

The Board’s engagement and oversight extends to E&S initiatives in four principle ways:

The Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee (CGRC) has primary jurisdiction for managing risks and opportunities associated with E&S, meeting at least once a year with the Corporate Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment, Product Stewardship, and Sustainability (HSEPS), the Senior Vice President for Government Relations, the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer and other leaders with responsibility for E&S to review and discuss various E&S topics.

Direct Audit Committee and Board engagement with E&S risk areas through a robust and comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management program.

Direct Board engagement on select E&S topics. In the past 12 months, management has presented to the Board on a variety of E&S initiatives such as employee diversity, sexual harassment prevention, safety, business continuity, and environmental matters.

Feedback from engagement with shareowners. The Board values shareowners’ perspectives on corporate responsibility and sustainability, and the Company (oftentimes with our Lead Director or CGRC Chair) engages directly with shareowners throughout the year to discuss activities, goals and achievements in these areas and to hear shareowners’ views and suggestions so that the feedback can be provided to directors.

PERFORMANCE CULTURE

Behind every invention, new technology and next-generation solution at Honeywell is a team of people committed to shaping the future. The Company’s performance culture enables Honeywell to be agile in response to the fast-changing needs of customers and is supported by the Honeywell Behaviors and three foundational principles: Integrity and Ethics, Inclusion and Diversity, and Workplace Respect. These principles are requirements for employment and every employee is expected to support and demonstrate them. Honeywell’s Behaviors reflect the bold, entrepreneurial spirit of the Company’s people.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

The Honeywell Behaviors reinforce our performance culture and enable our strategy to be the world’s premier software-industrial company. Demonstrating the Honeywell Behaviors is important to the Company’s culture and achieving objectives, and employees are challenged to continue developing in these areas as there is always opportunity for improvement. However, no one can be deficient in any of the Company’s three foundational principles. These values are simply too important to everything the Company hopes to accomplish.

IINTEGRITY AND ETHICS

At the core of Honeywell’s foundational principles is the Company’s Code of Business Conduct (the Code) that applies to all directors, officers (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Controller), and employees across the Company in all businesses and in all countries. The Code is a baseline set of requirements that enables employees to recognize and be aware of how to report integrity, compliance, and legal issues. In addition, the Code outlines our pledge to recognize the dignity of everyone, respect each employee, provide compensation and benefits that are competitive, promote self-development through training that broadens work-related skills, and value diversity of perspectives and ideas.

The Code provides guidance and expectations in a number of key integrity and compliance areas, including how employees should treat each other, conflicts of interest, health, safety, environment, product stewardship and sustainability (HSEPS), books and records, anti-corruption, proper business practices, trade compliance, insider trading, data privacy, respect for human rights, and the appropriate use of information technology and social media. To reinforce the Code, Honeywell provides comprehensive training on key compliance topics, develops training scenarios, deploys monthly manager communication toolkits, provides mechanisms for employees and third parties to report concerns (including anonymously), and ensures timely and fair reviews of integrity and compliance concerns through a best-in-class process to report and investigate allegations. Honeywell responds to 100% of reported allegations.

The Company’s integrity and compliance program includes, among other elements, a Supplier Code of Business Conduct that flows down to Honeywell’s global supply chain to reinforce the expectation that Honeywell suppliers also will abide by our high standards of integrity and compliance, including our conflict minerals, anti-human trafficking, business integrity, and health, safety, and environmental policies. We monitor our suppliers via quality, ethics, and good manufacturing practices, and when a supplier is found to be in violation of any Honeywell standard, we either replace the supplier or issue a corrective action plan. If the violation involves unethical or illegal activities, we remove the supplier as a viable supply source.

Honeywell’s Code applies to all directors, officers (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Controller) and employees.

Any amendments to or waivers of the Code applicable or granted to any of Honeywell’s directors or executive officers will be published on the Company website. All officers and employees must complete Code of Conduct training and, where permitted by law, must also certify each year that they will comply with the Code. In 2020,2021, the Company received certifications from 100% of officers and employees where permitted by law.

Honeywell fosters a culture of integrity, ethics, and workplace respect by setting the tone at the top and by unambiguously and repeatedly reinforcing its expectations. The Company is proud to have been recognized again in 2021 as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as onepractices. Additional details about the Code, the Supplier Code of the 2021 World’s Most Ethical Companies—one of only eight honorees in the Industrial category.

I  INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

Working at Honeywell requires fully embracing InclusionBusiness Conduct and Diversity (I&D). The Board believes that its diversity (three women, two Hispanics, and two African Americans) and the diversityother components of Honeywell’s executive leadership (more than half of the Company’s executive officers are diverse by ethnic background, non-U.S. place of birth, or gender) supports its evolving business strategyintegrity and is a testament to Honeywell’s ongoing commitment to hiring, developing,compliance program can be found on our website at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/Integrity and retaining diverse talent. The Company’s commitment to I&D enables better decision-making, helps build competitive advantages, and furthers long-term success. I&D is one of our foundational principles, and Honeywell expects all employees to exemplify its I&D principles accordingly.

In 2020, Honeywell took several notable actions to promote racial equality and I&D:

Reinforced its commitment to I&D and our zero-tolerance policy on discrimination in a video featuring its Chairman and CEO and our Senior Vice President and General Counsel and through a series of town hall meetings conducted company-wide; the Company continues to emphasize this message through training programs and regular communications.

Deployed mandatory unconscious bias training to our global workforce to educate and influence behavior.

Established a Global Inclusion and Diversity Steering Committee co-sponsored by Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO and fortified its inclusion and diversity governance structure by embedding I&D Councils in each business group. The re-designed governance structure provides a scalable model that supports the Company’s six affinity group employee networks for women, Black, Hispanic, veteran, LGBTQ and disabled employees and facilitates the introduction of new networks to reflect the diverse characteristics of Honeywell’s workforce.

Entered a five-year corporate sponsorship with the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Part of the Smithsonian Institution, this museum hosts millions of visitors each year and focuses on the richness, diversity and resiliency of the African American experience. This partnership enables robust learning and virtual volunteering opportunities for Honeywell employees of all races and backgrounds.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

Sponsored the Carolina Youth Coalition, a nonprofit organization that prepares high-achieving, under-resourced high school students to get into, excel at, and graduate from college.

Continued to expand recruitment efforts at diversity conferences and historically Black colleges and universities.

Established 2021 goals for each direct CEO staff officer that includes an annual objective of driving diversity within his or her organization.

Honeywell’s I&D strategy focuses on five key pillars, and we are driving a number of strategic initiatives behind each one, as follows:

LOGO

Talent Acquisition. Honeywell provides training and resources to hiring managers to reinforce their role in bringing diverse talent into the organization. The Company applies a “diversity of slate” requirement when hiring for any exempt role in the U.S. or for any management, professional, or senior administrative role globally. This means that all managers must interview at least one diverse candidate when hiring for these roles, and any exception must be reported to the responsible human resources leader for approval prior to filling the position. Senior management monitors compliance through the use of diversity scorecards. This approach helps ensure that women and people of color are represented as the Company selects the best candidate.

LOGO

Talent Management. Honeywell launched its Women’s Advancement Program in 2019, which focuses on each participant’s career advancement and seeks to empower each class of women through workplace training and development opportunities and by expanding their internal networks for promotional opportunities. In 2020, Board member Robin Washington participated in the program kick-off meeting, underscoring the Board’s focus and commitment to this important initiative. In 2021, the Company expanded the program, which is now the Diversity Career Advancement Program, to include people of color.

LOGO

Branding and Communication. To attract and retain diverse talent, the Company aims to showcase its culture and values as well as its commitment to inclusion and diversity. The Company’s #futureshapers brand campaign continues to focus on storytelling by a diverse “cast” of Honeywell employees and seeks to humanize the brand by authentically tying innovative solutions and technologies back to its talent and their work at Honeywell.

LOGO

Strategic Partnerships. Honeywell is involved with a range of external professional organizations, including the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Engineers, the Anita Borg Institute, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, and Disability:IN. In 2019, the Company launched its partnership with the Executive Leadership Council, an organization that supports the development of global Black leaders by delivering programs for Black employees to develop skills for executive/C-Suite roles. Honeywell also partners with top academic institutions for their quality of programs and commitment to creating a diverse student population and future workforce.

LOGO

Inclusive Leadership. Honeywell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a signatory to the Catalyst CEO Champions for Change Pledge. Joining Catalyst CEO Champions for Change was both a personal affirmation by Mr. Adamczyk and an organizational commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and advancing opportunities for women in the workplace. From the C-Suite to the shop floor, the Company’s leaders are expected to exemplify behaviors that promote an open and inclusive culture, and Honeywell helps managers develop this skill as they do any other leadership skill though training programs, interactive learning, and real-time events.

For more information about Honeywell’s inclusion and diversity initiatives, please visit honeywell.com (see “Company/About Us”).

I

WORKPLACE RESPECT

Fostering a respectful workplace environment is a key priority for Honeywell. While the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and other policies have long prohibited harassment, the Company has issued a revised global harassment policy in 2020 to reaffirm our commitment to maintain a respectful workplace for all. This policy provides more explicit guidance on the expectations for each employee and makes clear that all employees who experience or witness harassment are encouraged and expected to report such conduct. All new employees are required to complete a sexual harassment training program as part of the onboarding process, and the policy is reinforced on multiple occasions throughout the year, including enterprise-wide global town meetings.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Honeywell’s commitment to being environmentally responsible is reflected in the extensive work done to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increase energy efficiency, conserve water, minimize waste, and drive efficiency throughout its operations. The Company champions responsible remediation projects and efforts to make its operations and products safer and more sustainable.

LOGO

Honeywell has a history of establishing and achieving public sustainability goals and remains on track to achieve its 10-10-10 goals by 2024. The Company has also committed to becoming carbon neutral in its operations and facilities by 2035 and to addressing indirect emissions, including emissions in the value chain.

10-10-10 Goals by 2024. Honeywell remains on track to:

LOGO

Reduce global Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse emissions by an additional 10% per dollar of sales from 2018 levels.

LOGO

Deploy at least 10 renewable energy opportunities.

LOGO

Achieve certification to ISO’s 50001 Energy Management Standard at 10 facilities.

Carbon Neutrality by 2035. Honeywell has committed to:

LOGO

Become carbon neutral in its operations and facilities (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2035 through a combination of further investment in energy savings projects, conversion to renewable energy resources, completion of capital improvement projects, and utilization of credible carbon credits.

LOGO

Address Scope 3 indirect emissions, including emissions in the value chain, by enhancing its existing tracking system, partnering with industry leaders to identify and implement best practices, and encouraging customers to adopt Honeywell’s climate offerings.

Honeywell’s Sustainable Opportunity policy is based on the principle that by integrating health, safety, and environmental considerations into all aspects of its business, Honeywell:

Protects its people and the environment;

Drives compliance with all applicable regulations;

Achieves sustainable growth and accelerated productivity; and

Develops technologies that expand the sustainable capacity of our world.

The Honeywell Operating System (HOS), which drives sustainable improvements and the elimination of waste in manufacturing operations to generate exceptional performance, is a critical component of how the Company thinks about sustainability. HOS is a lean-based manufacturing system with roles and ownership for all employees from the plant floor to the boardroom to engage in careful planning and analysis, continuous employee engagement in improvement, and thorough follow-through.

Honeywell has built sustainability directly into HOS, so the tools, personnel, activities and culture are used to drive sustainability with the same focus that the Company uses to propel other critical operational objectives such as quality, delivery, inventory and cost. This ensures that sustainability is an integrated and essential part of the Honeywell work experience every day. Progress on our sustainability program is a factor in determining annual incentive compensation for senior leadership.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

I  SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITY

Honeywell is uniquely positioned to shape a safer and more sustainable future both for the Company and its customers. The Company continues to invent and develop technologies that provide customers with adaptable and efficient solutions to their safety, energy, and environmental needs. Here are some of the challenges Honeywell technologies address:

LOGO

I  HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT, PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY (HSEPS)

Honeywell’s HSEPS matters are managed by a global team of trained professionals with extensive knowledge and hundreds of years of collective experience in occupational health, chemistry, hydrology, geology, engineering, safety, industrial hygiene, materials management, and energy efficiency.

Honeywell’s Corporate Vice President of HSEPS reports to the Company’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel and has overall responsibility for HSEPS programs. A Corporate Energy and Sustainability Team, led by the Corporate Vice President of HSEPS, the Vice President for Global Real Estate and the Director of Sustainability, helps drive the Company’s sustainability goals. Progress on these goals is reported to Honeywell’s CEO on a quarterly basis and is reviewed with the CGRC at least annually.

The Company utilizes a comprehensive HSEPS management system based on recognized third-party standards, including ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and industry best practices. The system is fully integrated into HOS, the Company’s blueprint for continuous, sustainable operational improvement. A Company-wide, HSEPS-led audit process monitors compliance with standards and regulatory requirements and oversees timely development and implementation of process improvement and corrective action plans.

We provide HSEPS disclosure in alignment with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frameworks. To view these disclosures, please see our 2020 Corporate Citizenship Report at https://hwll.co/csr2020.

I  HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Energy Efficiency. Honeywell reports on its global greenhouse gas emissions publicly through CDP, a U.K.-based organization that supports companies’ and cities’ environmental disclosures, various regulatory agencies, and its website, investor.honeywell.com (see “Corporate Governance/Sustainability”). A qualified third party has provided limited assurance per ISO 14064-3 of Honeywell’s 2011-2019 Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions inventories. Overall, the Company’s sustainability program has reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas intensity by more than 90% since 2004.

LOGO

Honeywell exceeded its first public goal to reduce global greenhouse gases by more than 30% and improve energy efficiency by more than 20% between 2004 and 2011.

LOGO

A second five-year goal, set to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 15% per dollar of sales from 2011 levels, was met three years early.

LOGO

Honeywell exceeded its third goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per dollar of sales from 2013 levels by an additional 10% by end of 2018.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

AND SUSTAINABILITY

Honeywell continues to be on track to achieve our “10-10-10” target to reduce global Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 10% per dollar of sales from 2018 levels, to deploy at least 10 renewable energy opportunities, and to achieve certification to ISO’s 50001 Energy Management Standard at 10 facilities, all by 2024.

Water and Waste. Honeywell maintains a global inventory of water usage and waste data and continually looks for savings opportunities. The Company strategically targets water conservation projects in areas that are experiencing “water stress” as defined by the World Resources Institute. Since 2013, Honeywell has implemented more than 170 water conservation projects in water-stressed areas, saving 155 million gallons. Each of the Company’s businesses establishes annual waste targets for reducing hazardous waste, as normalized by sales, and diverting non-hazardous waste from landfills.

Safety. The safety of the Company’s employees, contractors, and partners is a top priority, and Honeywell uses its HOS-based approach to maintain its safety record. Honeywell’s global TCIR (the number of occupational injuries and illnesses per 100 employees) was 0.29 at the end of 2020. This means that our safety record is over four times better than the weighted average TCIR of the industries in which we operate according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Honeywell has received worker safety awards from governments and organizations around the world.

New Uses from Legacy Properties. Honeywell has a history of successfully resolving complex environmental challenges and taking a proactive approach to remediation of legacy obligations from former operations and of predecessor companies. The Company spent over $4 billion in the last 15 years to clean up many of these sites and restore them to productive community use. Using cutting-edge science, design, and engineering to protect human health and the environment, the Company works cooperatively with governments and communities to implement effective solutions. Honeywell does not consider cleanups complete until the legacy property has been transformed into a valuable asset for the surrounding community, whenever possible.

For more information about Honeywell’s revitalization of brownfields while renewing communities, please visit the Company’s website at investor.honeywell.com (see “Corporate Governance/Sustainability”).

HONEYWELL HOMETOWN SOLUTIONS

Honeywell demonstrates its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community involvement through global programs emphasizing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, inclusion and diversity, and humanitarian relief. To date, more than 5 million elementary, middle, high school, and university students worldwide have participated in Honeywell’s STEM programs. Since 2005, the Honeywell Humanitarian Relief Foundation, an employee-funded nonprofit organization, has distributed more than $14.5 million in relief funding to nearly 2,500 employees and communities around the world after hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, typhoons, and tsunamis. The foundation has also repaired or rebuilt 900 homes, four schools, nine medical clinics, 900 wells, and one elder-care center in this time.

In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the globe and brought everyday life to a halt in many regions, Honeywell moved quickly to address the needs of employees, customers, and communities. To support its employees, the Company:

Covered out-of-pocket costs associated with prescribed COVID-19 testing for all employees, and covered out-of-pocket treatment costs for employees and their dependents enrolled in Honeywell’s medical plans.

Established a $10 million relief fund to support select employees worldwide in potential financial distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Issued a $500 special “thank you” payment in early 2021 to every direct manufacturing employee who worked for more than six months in 2020.

Honeywell also established relief programs, expanded partnerships, and made monetary and in-kind donations to help communities around the world respond to the COVID-19 crisis and economic downturn. For instance, the Company:

Donated approximately 925,000 masks to hospitals and non-profits worldwide.

Distributed more than 3.7 million meals and 12,300 hygiene kits to families impacted by COVID-19 in five cities across India.

Invested $2 million to launch the Charlotte Center City Small Business Innovation Fund, in partnership with two leading civic organizations and other sponsors, to provide grants to small businesses to adapt their operating model in response to COVID-19 challenges.

Honeywell, Atrium Health, Tepper Sports & Entertainment and Charlotte Motor Speedway launched a unique public-private initiative, with support from North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles and leaders from Mecklenburg County, to optimize mass vaccination events that fully vaccinated more than 46,000 people.

Based on learnings from these events, Honeywell and our partners have developed and distributed a leader guide for mass vaccination events to the Biden Administration and the governors of all U.S. states and territories.

POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS

Engagement in the political process is critical to Honeywell’s success. The Company’s future growth depends on forward-thinking legislation and regulation that makes society safer and more energy efficient and improves public infrastructure. The Company strives to engage responsibly in the political process and to ensure that its participation is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, our principles of good governance, and our high standards of ethical conduct.

I  TRANSPARENCY

Honeywell is committed to providing transparent disclosure of political contributions and lobbying activities. Based on feedback from stakeholders, Honeywell has continued to enhance its political engagement disclosures. The Center for Political Accountability now rates Honeywell as a “Trendsetter” among first-tier companies, and in 2020, Honeywell was one of only 12 companies in the S&P 500 that received a Center for Political Accountability score of 100%. Disclosures are available at investor.honeywell.com (see “Corporate Governance/Political Contributions”).

When considering what to include in disclosures, Honeywell makes every effort to be accurate, comprehensive and detailed, and consider the perspective of the Company’s largest shareowners. Disclosures include explanations of the Company’s rationale for engaging in the political process, identify top legislative and regulatory priorities, and define its governance processes. The Company’s disclosures also address the use of corporate funds for political contributions and contributions to tax-exempt organizations that may use funds for political purposes; supply details regarding Honeywell’s exclusively employee-funded political action committee, HIPAC, including its disbursements; and provide streamlined and direct access to federal, state and local lobbying reports. In 2020, Honeywell further enhanced its disclosures to include a list of trade associations receiving memberships dues of $50,000 or more from Honeywell annually and the corresponding non-deductible portion of the dues.

I  MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OVERSIGHT

The Law Department oversees the Company’s lobbying activities. Honeywell’s Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the Senior Vice President and General Counsel and works closely with the Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer, whose organization ensures compliance with our political spending policy. The Company’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel, its Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations, and Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer meet regularly with Honeywell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his leadership team to review legislative, regulatory and political developments.

With respect to Board oversight, Honeywell’s public policy efforts, including all lobbying activities, political contributions, and payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations, are the responsibility of the CGRC, which consists entirely of independent, non-employee directors. Each year the CGRC receives an annual report on the Company’s policies and practices regarding political contributions. In addition, each year, the Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the CGRC on trade association memberships and to the full Board on the global lobbying and government relations program. The CGRC’s oversight of the Company’s political activities ensures compliance with applicable law and alignment with our policies, strategic priorities, Code of Business Conduct, and values.

In 2020, the Company established an Advisory Board of leaders representing a cross-section of Honeywell who meet regularly to review proposed HIPAC disbursements to assess alignment with Honeywell’s foundational principles — Integrity and Compliance, Inclusion and Diversity, and Workplace Respect. The Advisory Board meets at the start of each Congress, and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine whether proposed recipients of HIPAC funding are eligible based on our criteria and in alignment with Honeywell’s foundational values. Advisory Board decisions are documented and reported quarterly to the HIPAC Board of Directors and to Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO. Honeywell’s Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations, also includes notable Advisory Board decisions in his annual report to the CGRC.

DIRECTOR

COMPENSATION

IDEFERRED COMPENSATION

A non-employee director may elect to defer all or any portion of his or her annual cash retainers and fees, until a specified calendar year or termination of Board service. Compensation is credited to their account in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Amounts credited either accrue interest (1.74% for 2021, 2.76% for 2020)2021) or are valued as if invested in a Honeywell common stock fund or one of the other funds available to participants in our employee savings plan as elected by the participant.

In addition to payments at the termination of Board service, upon a change of control, as defined in the Non-Employee Director Plan, a director may receive a lump-sum payment for amounts deferred before 2006, pursuant to a prior election.

Prior to his retirement from the Board, Mr. Chico Pardo participated in the legacy Honeywell Inc. Non-Employee Directors Fee and Stock Unit Plan.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Director stock ownership guidelines have been adopted under which each non-employee director, while serving as a director of Honeywell, must hold common stock (including shares held personally, RSUs, and/or common stock equivalents) with a market value of at least five times the annual cash retainer (or $500,000). Directors have five years from election to the Board to attain the prescribed ownership threshold. All current directors (other than Ms. Flint who joined the Board in October 2019 and Gen. OdiernoMs. Lee who joined the Board in February 2020)January 2022) have attained the prescribed ownership threshold.

In addition, directors must hold net gain shares from option exercises for one year. “Net gain shares” means the number of shares obtained by exercising the option, less the number of shares the director sells to cover the exercise price of the options and pay applicable taxes.

On average, Honeywell non-employee directors held, as of December 31, 2020,2021, common stock with a market value of42x
43x
the annual cash retainer,, reflecting their deep commitment to shareowner value creation.

PROPOSAL 2:

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, Honeywell seeks a non-binding advisory vote from its shareowners to approve the compensation of its Named Executive Officers (NEOs) as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 4150 and the Executive Compensation Tables section beginning on page 70.78. This vote is commonly known as “Say-on-Pay,” and the Board has adopted a policy of providing for an annual Say-on-Pay vote.

We anticipate that shareowners will next have the opportunity to vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareowners.

We encourage you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Executive Compensation Tables section to learn more about the Company’s executive compensation programs and policies. The Board believes its 20202021 compensation decisions and our executive compensation programs align the interests of shareowners and executives by emphasizing variable, at-risk compensation largely tied to measurable performance goals utilizing an appropriate balance of near-term and long-term objectives.

This vote is not intended to address a specific item of compensation, but rather our overall compensation policies and procedures related to the NEOs. Because the Say-on-Pay vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board.Board or the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC). However, the Board and MDCC will consider the outcome of the vote and feedback from discussions with shareowners when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board recommends that shareowners vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareowners approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 20212022 Annual Meeting of Shareowners pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2020 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, contains financial measures presented on a non-GAAP basis. Honeywell’s non-GAAP financial measures used in this document are as follows: segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, a measure by which we assess operating performance, which we define as operating income adjusted for certain items as presented in Appendix A; segment margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, which we define as segment profit divided by sales; incremental margin, which we define as the year-over-year change in segment profit divided by the year-over-year change in net sales; organic sales growth, which we define as sales growth less the impacts from foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures for the first 12 months following transaction date; adjusted free cash flow, which we define as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and which we adjust to exclude the impact of separation costs related to theplus cash receipts from Garrett, and Resideo spin-offs, if and as noted in the document;Appendix A; free cash flow margin, which we define as free cash flow divided by net sales; and adjusted earnings per share and adjusted net income attributable to Honeywell, which we define as net income attributableadjust to Honeywell, excludingexclude pension mark-to-market, expenses, separation costschanges in fair value for Garrett equity securities, a non-cash charge associated with a further reduction in value of reimbursement receivables following Garrett's emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2021, an expense related to UOP matters, gain on the sale of the retail footwear business, a 2Q20 favorable resolution of a foreign tax matter related to the spin-offs, the 4Q17 U.S. tax legislation charge, and adjustments to such charge,spin-off transactions, 2020 non-cash charges associated with the reduction in value of reimbursement receivables due from Garrett, net of proceeds from settlement of related hedging transactions, and 2Q20 favorable resolution of a foreign tax matter related to the spin-off transactions, if and as noted in Appendix A; sales excluding spin-off impact, which we define as sales excluding the sales attributable to the Garrett and Resideo spin-off businesses in the periods noted in Appendix A; and adjusted earnings per share, which we adjust to exclude pension mark-to-market expenses, as well as for other components including separation costs related to the spin-offs, the 4Q17 U.S. tax legislation charge, and adjustments to such charge non-cash charges associated withand the reduction in value of reimbursement receivables due from Garrett, net of proceeds from settlement of related hedging transactions, and 2Q20 favorable resolution of a foreign tax matterseparation costs related to the spin-off transactions,spin-offs, if and as noted in Appendix A. Other than references to reported earnings per share, all references to earnings per share in this document are so adjusted. Certain metrics presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. The respective tax rates applied when adjusting earnings per share for these items are identified in the reconciliations presented in Appendix A. Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Other companies may define and calculate such measures differently, which may limit the usefulness of such measures for comparative purposes. Refer to Appendix A for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

LOGO   STRONG SEQUENTIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2020

In 2020, Honeywell drove sequential improvements in key metrics in each quarter through the COVID-19 downturn. We continued our track record of execution by moving quickly and decisively to reduce fixed costs, ensure liquidity, drive growth, and position ourselves for recovery.

(NEOs)*

Drove sales growth in areas that were not as impacted by the COVID-19 downturn, generating sequential improvement in year-over-year organic sales.

Protected margins, driving sequential improvement in year-over-year decremental margin from 33% in the second quarter to 26% in the fourth quarter.

Deployed cost plans decisively in a two-phased approach, realizing $1.5 billion of year-over-year fixed cost savings.

Took quick actions to maximize our financial flexibility by entering into a $6 billion two-year delayed draw term loan agreement, which boosted our cash and short-term investments to over $15 billion by the end of the second quarter.

Outperformed the market, delivering total shareowner return by over 2x the Industrial Select Sector SPDR (XLI).

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

LOGO   INVESTED IN GROWTH THROUGH THE DOWNTURN

We continued to make investments in the businesses through research and development, capital expenditures, and M&A, despite the pandemic. In addition to our strong sequential financial performance, we strategically deployed capital into high-return growth investments that will continue to benefit shareowners over the long term. We maintained a balanced capital deployment strategy consisting of the following actions:

Deployed more than $900 million to high return capital expenditures.

Deployed approximately $300 million to M&A and Honeywell Ventures, including the acquisitions of Sine Group, Ballard Unmanned Systems, and Rocky Research, to add strategic assets and enhance our technology offerings and innovation.

Raised our dividend for the eleventh time over ten consecutive years.

Repurchased $3.7 billion in Honeywell shares, reducing the weighted average share count by 3%. This was the third consecutive year of deploying more than $6.0 billion of cash back to shareowners in the form of dividends and share repurchases, after spinning off ~20% of sales in 2018.

Issued $6 billion of debt at attractive interest rates to further strengthen our balance sheet.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

LOGO   PRUDENTLY MANAGED THROUGH THE DOWNTURN

Our execution through the downturn highlights our ability to move quickly and decisively to reduce fixed costs, ensure liquidity, drive growth, and position ourselves for recovery in 2021 and beyond.

Our strong balance sheet provides us with stability as well as opportunity for investment during challenging times. Through a series of quick actions to further bolster our financial flexibility, we boosted our cash and short-term investments, demonstrating our ability to generate strong cash flow and to access the capital markets efficiently during even the most disruptive times, while protecting our debt rating.

On the cost side, we curtailed discretionary expenses, took temporary actions to reduce costs including reducing executive and Board pay, and removed significant structural costs through our repositioning programs. The resulting streamlined cost base positions us well for a 2021 recovery and will drive margin expansion across all four of our segments and capacity for investment as sales recover in 2021.

We also pivoted to adapt our approach to demand generation, using the full strength of Honeywell to address the COVID-19 challenges of our customers around the world. We deployed additional capital into high-return growth investments to address urgent customer needs, particularly in personal protective equipment and warehouse automation.

All of this was made possible due to the strength of our digital capabilities and our global supply chain organization. We relied heavily on our new digital platforms to elevate our business operations, particularly in selling and customer experience. Our global supply chain organization managed the continuity of operations in compliance with safety regulations and minimized the impacts of operational constraints.

As a result of our swift actions during this downturn, we drove sequential decremental margin improvement from 33% in the second quarter and 29% in the third quarter, to 26% in the fourth quarter, protecting our margins during substantial declines in sales.

COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES
WHAT WE DOWHAT WE DON’T DO
icon_checkmark.jpg06  Pay for Performance. We closely align pay and performance, with a significant portion of target total direct compensation at-risk. The Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) validates this alignment annually and ensures performance-based compensation represents a significant portion of executive compensation.
icon_checkmark.jpgRobust Performance Goals. We establish clear and measurable goals and targets and hold our executives accountable for achieving specified levels to earn a payout under our incentive plans. We use different sets of operational metrics for the annual cash incentive plan (ICP) and performance-based long-term incentives (LTI) to drive top and bottom-line growth over multiple time frames, aligned with sustained long-term performance.
icon_checkmark.jpgClawback Practices. We maintain a policy that allows for recoupment of incentive compensation in the event of misconduct and a significant financial restatement or if an executive leaves the Company to join a competitor.
icon_checkmark.jpgDouble Trigger in the Event of a Change in Control (CIC). We have double trigger vesting on equity and severance for CIC; executives will not receive cash severance nor will equity vest in the event of a CIC unless accompanied by qualifying termination of employment.
icon_checkmark.jpgMaximum Payout Caps for Incentive Plans. ICP and Performance Plan payouts are capped.
icon_checkmark.jpgRobust Stock Ownership Requirements. We require executive officers to hold meaningful amounts of stock and require them to hold net shares for one year from exercise or vesting.
icon_checkmark.jpgOptions Granted at Fair Market Value (FMV). Annual stock options awarded to all executives (including the NEOs) are approved by the MDCC on the same day, with an exercise price no less than the fair market value of Honeywell's common stock on the date of grant.
icon_checkmark.jpgIndependent Compensation Consultant. The MDCC retains an independent compensation consultant to review and advise the MDCC on executive compensation matters. The independent consultant attends all MDCC meetings.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Excessive Perks. We do not provide perquisites except in cases where there is a compelling business or security reason, nor do we provide tax gross-ups for officers, other than in connection with a Company-required relocation.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Guaranteed Annual Salary Increases or Bonuses. Annual salary increases are based on evaluations of individual performance and the competitive market. In addition, we do not provide guarantees on bonus payouts.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Hedging or Pledging. We do not allow hedging or pledging of our stock.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Excise Tax Gross-Ups and No Accelerated Bonus Payments Upon a CIC. Excise tax gross-ups have been eliminated for all executive officers. Plans provide that ICP awards earned in the year of a CIC would be paid at the time they would typically be paid based on business performance rather than at target.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Incentivizing of Short-Term Results to the Detriment of Long-Term Goals and Results. Pay mix is heavily weighted toward long-term incentives aligned with the interests of shareowners.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Excessive Risks. Compensation practices are appropriately structured and avoid incentivizing employees to engage in excessive risk-taking.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Options Repricing. We prohibit repricing (reduction in exercise price or exchange for cash or other consideration) or reloading of stock options.
icon_crossmark.jpgNo Consultant Conflicts. Under the MDCC’s established policy, the compensation consultant cannot provide any other services to Honeywell without the MDCC’s approval. Regular independence reviews are conducted.

The MDCC reviews these factors over various time frames to ensure a strong linkage between pay and performance. In addition, the MDCC reviews each NEO’s four-year compensation history in total and each element of total annual direct compensation. The MDCC also reviews projected benefit payments under Honeywell’s retirement and deferred compensation plans, and any previously granted awards or grants. This enables the MDCC to understand how each element of compensation interacts with the other elements and to see how current compensation decisions may affect future wealth accumulation and executive retention.

Honeywell’s senior executives are recognized as industry leaders with backgrounds, depth of experience, and management skills that are highly attractive to competitors. The MDCC prefers to address critical retention and succession risks through the existing compensation program. When appropriate, the MDCC may approve other compensation actions that it believes are in the best interest of the Company and its shareowners to strengthen the succession plan and guard against the loss of key talent, especially during critical transition periods.

I  HOW COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE MADE

Decision-making over executive compensation rests with the MDCC, which holds five regularly scheduled meetings each year (six meetings held in 2020)2021). Specific topics may be covered in a separate meeting from time to time. Each meeting includes an executive session comprised solely of independent directors, and those meetings are attended by the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant. Meeting agendas contain items proposed by either management or the MDCC members.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the MDCC balances a number of important considerations, including:

The importance of aligning pay with Company and individual performance.

The need to attract, retain, and reward executives with a proven track record of delivering consistent financial and operating results and driving “seed-planting” initiatives that will create sustainable long-term shareowner value.

The complex multi-industry and global nature of Honeywell’s businesses and the importance of growth outside of the United States for future success.

The positioning of pay relative to the competitive market.

The importance of maintaining and executing on a thorough and rigorous succession planning process.

While

Key factors that shape the MDCC’s overall assessment of performance and appropriate levels of compensation include:
Operational and financial performance for the entire corporation and the relevant business units.
Aggressiveness of each executive’s financial and operating goals and targets.
Business/macroeconomic conditions impacting the industries in which Honeywell’s businesses operate.
Execution against strategic initiatives and the impact of investments that will benefit financial performance in future years.
Each executive’s long-term leadership potential and associated retention risk.
The senior executive development and succession plan.
Total shareowner return (TSR).
Trends and best practices in executive compensation.
Peer group comparisons, including performance, pay levels, and related practices.
The MDCC reviews these factors over various time periods to ensure a strong linkage between pay and performance. At each of its meetings, the MDCC reviews four-year NEO compensation history for each element of total annual direct compensation, as well as projected payments under Honeywell’s retirement and deferred compensation plans, to provide historical context and an understanding of how current compensation decisions may affect future wealth accumulation and executive retention.
On an annual basis, the MDCC reviews information provided by its independent compensation consultant regarding compensation paid by theto similarly situated executive officers at Compensation Peer Group companies as well asa point of reference. Similarly, third-party survey data or published reports may be utilized as a general indicator of relevant market conditions, theconditions. The MDCC does not target a specific competitive position relative to the market in making its compensation determinations.

ENGAGEMENT WITH SHAREOWNERS ON COMPENSATION

The MDCC also considers shareowner feedback and the results of the annual advisory vote on executive compensation in making determinations about the structure of Honeywell’s pay program, or whether any changes to the program should be considered. The Company routinely engages with its shareowners to better understand their views on Honeywell’s governance and compensation practices. The Company’s Lead Director and CGRC Chair often participate in these engagements. The feedback the Company receives from shareowners enables the Board to better understand shareowners’ perspectives on its executive compensation programs, which resulted in significant changes to programs that have now been fully implemented. These changes led to over 92% of shareowners voting in favor of “Say-on-Pay” in each of the last four years, including a 93% result in 2020.

In 2020, the Company extended meeting invitations to 57 of its top shareowners during proxy season and again during summer/fall outreach to discuss environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters (including Honeywell’s executive compensation program). As a result of these invitations, the Company held 32 separate meetings with shareowners, representing 38% of common shares outstanding, many of which included the participation of either Honeywell’s Lead Director or CRGC Chair. General support for Honeywell’s executive compensation program remained uniformly positive in 2020. No executive compensation program modifications were made in 2020 as a result of these meetings, however management did consider feedback from shareowners when considering alternatives for addressing the significant impacts of the pandemic on the most recently awarded performance stock unit awards.

I

ENGAGEMENT
The Company routinely engages with its shareowners to better understand their views on Honeywell’s governance and compensation practices.
The Company’s Lead Director and MDCC Chair regularly participate in these engagements.
In 2021, the Company extended meeting invitations to 60 of its top shareowners during proxy season and again during summer/fall outreach to discuss environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters (including Honeywell’s executive compensation program).
As a result of these invitations, the Company held 27 separate one-on-one meetings with shareowners, representing 29% of common shares outstanding, many of which included the participation of either Honeywell’s Lead Director or MDCC Chair.
FEEDBACK
Shareowner support for Honeywell’s executive compensation program remained positive in 2021.
Shareowners viewed the pandemic-related compensation actions as appropriate under the circumstances, with recognition that adverse pandemic-related impacts on incentive plans were not unique to Honeywell and that thoughtful recalibrations were appropriate in industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to shareowner feedback, the MDCC also considers the results of the annual advisory vote on executive compensation in making determinations about the structure of Honeywell’s pay program, or whether any changes to the program should be considered.
RESPONSE
Feedback the Company receives from shareowners enables the Board to better understand shareowners’ perspectives on its executive compensation program, which resulted in significant changes to the program in the past that have now been fully implemented.
These changes led to over 92% of shareowners voting in favor of “Say-on-Pay” in each of the last five years, including a 93% result in 2021.
There were no changes made to the executive compensation program in 2021 as a result of these meetings, as most shareowners remained supportive of the executive compensation program and the actions taken by the MDCC in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, including those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, the MDCC continued to monitor and assess the risks and impacts to the incentive plans from the protracted COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain dynamics, and remained committed to maintaining alignment between pay and performance in its decision making.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
COMPENSATION PEER GROUP

To ensure appropriate levels of executive officer compensation and the alignment of pay and performance, the MDCC believes it is important to understand how Honeywell compares to other relevant companies. As such, the MDCC reviews executive officer compensation, and assesses Honeywell’s financial performance, against a group of 16 companies that are considered Honeywell’s “Compensation Peer Group.” In addition, the MDCC alsoperiodically reviews relative financial performance against a smaller subset of the Compensation Peer Group that are considered in its “Multi-Industry Peer Group” as well as the Industrial Select Sector index (XLI).

Compensation Peer Group.companies with complex multi-industry characteristics, like Honeywell, or relevant indices.

The companies selected by the MDCC for inclusion in the Compensation Peer Group have one or more of the following attributes:

Business operations in the industries and markets in which Honeywell participates.

Similar sales and/or market capitalization.

Similar breadth of portfolio and complexity.

Global scope of operations and/or diversified product lines.

Within reasonable range of sales and/or market capitalization.

Demonstrated competitor for executive talent.

The MDCC reviews the appropriateness of the Compensation Peer Group companies on an annual basis and discusses whether any changes are necessary. In

After making a number of changes in 2020, the MDCC made the followingdid not make any changes to the Compensation Peer Group companies: (1) Raytheon Technologies (RTX) was added, as successor and replacementcompanies for both United Technologies Corporation (UTX) and Raytheon Corporation (RTN) upon their merger and separation actions in early 2020, (2) Ingersoll-Rand Plc (IR) was removed as a result of its merger with Gardner Denver and subsequent spin-offs, with no successor from these actions added, and (3) both Dow Chemical (DOW) and Dupont (DD) were added based on the size and scope of their businesses and strong alignment with Honeywell’s PMT business unit. The result of these changes is that the overall number of companies in the Compensation Peer Group remained at 16 (13 companies remained unchanged from 2019).

The following provides a view of the multi-industry profile of the Honeywell businesses in 2020, which helps explain the breadth of the companies in the Compensation Peer Group:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

Multi-Industry Peer Group. This peer group is a subset of the Compensation Peer Group and is primarily used for performance comparison purposes. The 2020 multi-industry peer group is made up of Emerson Electric Co. (EMR), General Electric Company (GE), Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW), and 3M Company (MMM); companies against whom Honeywell frequently competes for investor dollars. Each of these four companies is a multi-industrial company that has broadly overlapping institutional ownership, is covered by the research analysts that cover Honeywell, and operate in a similarly diverse set of end markets on a global basis. The MDCC removed United Technologies Corporation (UTX) from the Multi-Industry Peer Group in 2020 upon the merger of UTX with Raytheon Corporation and subsequent spin-off activities, and the determination that the successor companies did not meet the multi-industry profile.

Three-Year Average Return

THREE-YEAR AVERAGE RETURN

The MDCC also carefully considers several different ratios that are important measures of Honeywell’s earnings performance compared to the Compensation Peer Group median. Shareowners have told the Company that they regard ROIC as a particularly important metric because it shows how well management is balancing delivery of short-term results against long-term sustainable growth. Honeywell’s three-year average ROIC was 16.8%14.9%, which significantly outperformed the Compensation Peer Group median.

On February 13, 2020,11, 2021, the MDCC approved base salary merit increasesactions for each NEO (except(including the CEO) in the normal course based on an assessment of performance and pay positioning against comparable positions in Compensation Peer Group companies. SuchAll base salary changes were effective March 31, 2021.
Mr. Adamczyk's base salary was increased for the first time since March 2018, from $1.6 million to $1.7 million (6.25%) to recognize performance and positioning relative to peers. Mr. Adamczyk will not receive a base salary adjustment in 2022.
Mr. Lewis' base salary was adjusted upward by 10.4%, his first base salary change since March 2019, to recognize performance and the broad scope of his role in a complex global organization and to better align his base pay and total cash compensation with comparable peer company CFOs.

Madden and Dallara and Mr. Madsen, merit increases were subsequently canceled later inmade for the first quarter, prior to becoming effective,time since 2019 (as merit increases were canceled in 2020, and base salaries were cut 10% from March 31 - November 1, 2020, as part of the cost reduction actions taken when the impact of the pandemic became more apparent. As such, none of the NEOs received a merit adjustment to base salary in 2020.

Effective January 1, 2020, Ms. Madden received a 10% promotional increase in base salary when her role of Senior Vice President, General Counsel was expanded to include responsibility for company-wide mergers and acquisitions.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2021 ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN DECISIONS

For 2020,

As prescribed in Honeywell's ICP program, 80% of the ICP awards earned by the NEOs was determined formulaically based on financial targets established by the MDCC in early February 2020,2021 (based on the mid-point of external guidance), and 20% of the awards was determined based on the MDCC’s qualitative assessment of individual performance against objectives for 20202021 and the significant accomplishments listed on pages 55-58.62-64. The potential attainment percentage for both the formulaic and individual qualitative portions of the award cancould range from 0% to 200% of target.

Individual 20202021 ICP Target Amountstarget amounts for the NEOs were determined by multiplying their 20202021 ICP applicable base salary rate by their individual ICP target award percentage. Individual ICP target percentages for 20202021 were:

Mr. Adamczyk: 175%

Other NEOs: 100%

No changes were made to individual ICP targets as a percent of salary in 2020.

I2021.

ICP FORMULAIC PORTION (80% OF TARGET AWARD)

The following table describes each of the financial ICP metrics and the relative weighting percentage for each metric that is included in the formulaic portion of the ICP payout (i.e., 80%) for each NEO.

For Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Ms. Madden (Corporate NEOs), the formulaic portion of their ICP award was based entirely on company-wide (Total Honeywell) adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow. For Messrs. GautamMs. Dallara and WaldronMr. Madsen (Business Unit NEOs), in addition to Total Honeywell adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, the MDCC also established business unit targets for income contribution and adjusted free cash flow for PMT and SPS, respectively, which were given equal weighting in the ICP formulaic calculation.

For 2020, despite the negative impacts of the pandemic on earnings and free cash flow, the MDCC maintained the existing ICP target goals and plan design that were established in early February 2020. While the MDCC considered adjustments to the payout calculation due to the extraordinary impact of the pandemic, as permitted by the plan, no such adjustments were made to the measurement of results against the 2020 formulaic ICP Goals.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TOTAL LTI VALUE

For 2020,2021 LTI awards to the NEOs, the MDCC (or, in the case of Mr. Adamczyk, the independent members of the full Board) determined a total annual LTI (Total LTI) value to be awarded and then allocated the award between PSUs, RSUs, and stock options based on the mix proportions described above. Each of the three elements and the respective values awarded to each NEO are described in detail below.

In determining the Total LTI value to be awarded to each NEO, factors that were considered included:

The relative value of long-term incentive awards granted to comparable named executive officers at the Compensation Peer Group companies.

Any changes in scopeScope of responsibilities.

responsibilities and complexity of the organization (absolute and relative to the Compensation Peer Group companies).

The senior executive development and succession plan.

The value of LTI awards granted in prior years.

2018-2020 Performance Plan Assessment

PSUs are issued under the share-based Performance Plan first introduced in 2017 in response to shareowner feedback. In February 2021, the MDCC certified the performance results and payouts for the 2018-2020 performance period of the Performance Plan, which ended on December 31, 2020. In reviewing performance for this cycle, the MDCC noted that the extraordinary impacts from the pandemic on 2020 company performance had reduced the level of payout from pre-pandemic projections by an average of over 25% across the business units. However, the MDCC elected not to make any adjustments to the metrics or measurement of performance for this period as the earned awards were deemed appropriate and reflective of the strong performance delivered, particularly in the first two years of the cycle, and relative TSR outperformance over the three-year period.

For the NEOs who were executive officers in 2018 at the time of grant (Messrs. Adamczyk, Gautam, and Waldron and Ms. Madden), 2018-2020 Performance Plan awards were made in the form of PSUs, with 75% of their earned award based on performance against internal financial goals, and 25% of the earned award based on Honeywell’s TSR relative to the 2018 Compensation Peer Group over the three-year performance period. For the NEO who was not an executive officer at the time of grant in 2018 (Mr. Lewis), 2018-2020 Performance Plan awards were made in the form of performance cash units, with 100% of the earned award based exclusively on the same internal financial goals as the officer PSUs, but with no relative TSR component.

Honeywell’s plan-basis TSR of 49.2% for the three-year performance period (January 1, 2018-December 31, 2020) was 90th percentile when ranked with the 2018 Compensation Peer Group, as follows:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

The earned award for Mr. Lewis became fully vested on February 27, 2021 and was paid in cash in March 2021. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for cash-based awards, 100% of the earned cash award for Mr. Lewis for the 2018-2020 performance period is included as 2020 Non-Equity Incentive Compensation on the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement, even though originally granted in 2018.

2020-2022 Performance Plan Awards

Under the 2020-20222021-2023 Performance Plan, a target number of PSUs was issued to each NEO on February 14, 2020March 15, 2021 for the performance period of January 1, 2020,2021 through December 31, 2022,2023, representing 50% of their total annual LTI value and mix. Established before COVID-19 began to have wide-ranging impact on the global economy, the original performance targets envisioned growth in each year of the three-year performance period and did not anticipate the unprecedented disruption caused by the pandemic which began a month later. While the three-year relative TSR metric remains relevant, as a result of the significant impact of the pandemic on our major end-markets, the original internal financial metric targets set for the 2020-2022 cycle became unattainable soon after they were set, with projected full cycle performance against each of the three financial metrics falling to near, or below, threshold levels. Over the course of the year, the MDCC discussed the negative impact of the pandemic on all three PSU cycles in progress and assessed whether the objectives of the 2019-2021 and 2020-2022 plans (to incentivize, retain and reward executives for driving attainment of specific company goals) had been compromised by the extraordinary events that occurred in 2020. The MDCC recognized these circumstances were not unique to Honeywell and solicited feedback from its shareowners regarding their views on adjustments to incentive plans for companies that experienced a significant negative financial impact from the pandemic, like Honeywell. Shareowners generally recognized the possible need for pandemic-related incentive plan changes in industries hardest hit by the pandemic, with some tolerance for reasonable modifications to annual incentive plans or long-term incentives for the most recent award cycle beginning in 2020. Shareowners noted they would be assessing any such changes on a case-by-case basis, with particular attention paid to the alignment of experience among shareowners, executives, and the broader employee population.

In March 2021, the MDCC determined that, while no changes would be made with respect to the 2019-2021 cycle PSUs at that time, it would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareowners to realign the link between pay and performance for the most recent 2020-2022 PSU awards by recasting the targets for the three internal financial metrics. This was a one-time adjustment to the normal operation of the plan given the extraordinary impact of the pandemic. The MDCC considered alternative approaches, including adjustments to exclude the impact of COVID-19-related expenses or separate, supplemental awards, but determined that the approach chosen was more consistent with the existing plan design, did not require subjective estimates of COVID-19 expenses for a multi-year period, and served to refocus executives on financial goals to be achieved in the post-2020 recovery period. The recast targets retained the original three-year relative TSR goal and effectively replaced the original three-year financial targets with meaningful two-year (2021 and 2022) financial growth targets for the remainder of the three-year cycle, using the mid-point of external guidance for 2021 and accelerating growth rates for 2022. Coincident with this change, the upside total payout opportunity for this performance cycle was reduced by 40%. PSUs issued for the 2021-2023 performance cycle return to using 3-year financial targets, consistent with past practice.

In arriving at this decision, the MDCC took into consideration management’s response and efforts to mitigate pandemic impacts in 2020 by quickly implementing cost controls and pivoting to new opportunities aimed to position the company for strong post-pandemic growth and greater opportunity for shareowner value creation, which resulted in a total shareowner return of 23% for 2020. The MDCC also believes this change is in alignment with the experience of both shareowners and employees. Since the pandemic-driven low of $103.86 on March 23, 2020, Honeywell’s stock price appreciated 105% to $212.70 as of December 31, 2020. The approach for 2020-2022 PSU awards to the NEOs also mirrors the adjustments made to financial metrics for the performance plan that extends to other executive and management-level employees of the Company.

Compensation Actions Due to COVID-19. Compensation actions taken in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 that reflect the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic include:

  No merit increases in 2020.

  Base salaries of all executive-level employees, including the NEOs, cut by 10% from March 31, 2020 through November 1, 2020.

  Annual ICP awards determined in the normal course with no pandemic-related adjustments, despite goals being set prior to the pandemic.

  Results for the 2018-2020 Performance Plan cycle certified with no pandemic-related adjustments, despite payouts being negatively impacted by an average of over 25% across the business units when compared to pre-pandemic projections.

  LTI awards granted February 14, 2020 (pre-pandemic) based on established mix of 50% PSUs, 35% Stock Options, and 15% RSUs.

  Financial metrics for the 2020-2022 Performance Plan cycle adjusted in the first quarter of 2021 to focus executives on reset guidance and post-pandemic recovery actions. Maximum payment cap reduced 40%. No change to the relative TSR goal for the 3-year performance period of January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2022.

The grant date unit value for awards made on February 14, 2020, of $188.57 was determined based on the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant of $180.92 for the three internal financial metrics, and a value of $211.53 for the relative TSR metric, based on a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation conducted by an independent valuation service provider. The grant date values reflect the original award values for the grants made in February 2020. The subsequent pandemic-related adjustment to the plan financial metrics for this cycle, made in the first quarter of 2021, is considered an award modification that will result in incremental accounting value for these awards that will be reflected as 2021 compensation on the Summary Compensation Table in the next annual Proxy Statement.

$212.53 was determined based on the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant of $214.85 for the three internal financial metrics, and a value of $205.57 for the Relative TSR metric, based on a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation conducted by an independent valuation service provider.

At the end of the performance period, the total number of PSUs earned for each NEO shall be determined on a formulaic basis. Dividend equivalents applied during the vesting period as additional PSUs will be adjusted based on the final number of PSUs earned. In determining the final distributions of earned awards, 50% of the resulting PSUs earned will be converted to shares of Company common stock and issued to each NEO, subject to the holding period requirements for officers. The remaining 50% shall be converted to cash based on the fair market value of a share of Honeywell stock on the last day of the performance period and paid to each NEO in the first quarter following the end of the performance period.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2020-2022 PERFORMANCE PLAN
As fully discussed in Honeywell's 2021 Proxy Statement, on March 15, 2021, the MDCC approved an adjustment to the three financial metrics under the 2020-2022 Performance Plan due to the extraordinary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which rendered the original financial targets unattainable within months of them being set in February 2020. This change was necessary to correct a misalignment between the pay opportunity and the range of performance reasonably attainable for this cycle. No changes were made to the original three-year Relative TSR goal. The recast financial targets were fully disclosed in the 2021 proxy statement. Coincident with this change, the upside total payout opportunity for this performance cycle was reduced by 40%. This action was reviewed with shareowners during 2021 outreach meetings and broadly viewed as appropriate under the circumstances, with recognition that adverse pandemic-related impacts on incentive plans were not unique to Honeywell and that thoughtful recalibrations were appropriate in industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In arriving at this decision in the first quarter of 2021, the MDCC took into consideration management’s response and efforts to mitigate pandemic impacts in 2020 by quickly implementing cost controls (such as no merit increases in 2020 and 10% salary reductions from March 31, 2020 through November 1, 2020.) and pivoting to new opportunities aimed at positioning the Company for post-pandemic growth and shareowner value creation, which resulted in a total shareowner return of 23% for 2020. Consideration was also given to the fact that the 2018-2020 performance cycle and 2020 ICP awards were paid out without adjustment, despite being significantly adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The MDCC also determined that this change was in alignment with the experience of both shareowners and employees in 2020. Since the pandemic-driven low of $103.86 on March 23, 2020, Honeywell’s stock price appreciated 105% to $212.70 as of December 31, 2020. The adjustment approach used for the NEOs was also extended to the cash-based performance units issued to other executive and management-level employees of the Company in 2020.
While the original grant date value of the 2020-2022 PSU awards issued in February 2020 to the NEOs was already reported as 2020 compensation on the Summary Compensation Table included in the Company's 2021 proxy statement (except for Ms. Dallara and Mr. Madsen, who were not NEOs in 2020), and no new awards were made, the aforementioned adjustment to the financial metrics is considered an award modification that gives rise to incremental reportable compensation in the year the modification was made under SEC rules. As such, the calculated incremental fair value of the 2020-2022 PSU award modification to the NEOs, determined as of March 15, 2021, is included as incremental 2021 compensation in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table and in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in this proxy statement as follows:
NEO

Mr. Adamczyk$4,754,160 
Mr. Lewis$1,469,700 
Ms. Madden$1,469,700

Mr. Madsen$898,594 
(1)Represents the incremental fair value, determined as of the March 15, 2021 modification date, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for a Type III modification, with no offset for forfeiture of the portion of the original award that became improbable of attainment due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MDCC viewed this adjustment as a realignment to the intended grant date values originally reported as 2020 compensation, which differs from the reported values on the Summary Compensation Table under SEC rules.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2019-2021 PERFORMANCE PLAN ASSESSMENT
2019-2021 SUMMARY
Three-year cumulative Shareowner return of 55.9% (61st percentile vs. relevant Compensation Peer Group)
Financial metric attainment impacted by COVID-19 (three-year growth goals set pre-pandemic)
MDCC approved 2019-2021 PSU payout = 87% of target (CEO and Corporate officers)
In February 2019, Performance Plan awards for a three-year performance period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 were granted to executive officers in the form of Performance Stock Units (PSUs). This applied to all NEOs except Mr. Madsen, who was not an executive officer in February 2019. Three-year performance goals were established for cumulative revenue, average segment margin rate, average return on investment (ROI) and TSR relative to the 2019 Compensation Peer Group. Each of these goals was equally weighted (25% each). The target performance levels were established before the COVID-19 pandemic as follows: 3.1% compound annual revenue growth, 80 basis points of segment margin expansion, and 140 basis points of ROI expansion. Goals were developed for each of the three years, with the first year aligned to the midpoint of external guidance, and growth rates for the second and third years in the cycle aligned with Honeywell’s long-range plan. Target performance levels were aimed at driving year-over-year growth and meaningful improvements in Honeywell operations over the three-year period.
By the fourth quarter of 2020, it became clear that the 2019-2021 financial metrics were heavily and adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially cumulative revenue and ROI, which were all but certain to fall below threshold levels. Projections at that time suggested that it may not be possible to offset the downward drag of pandemic-related 2020 results on the three-year cumulative goals, despite strong performance in 2019. In contrast, the three-year Relative TSR metric was tracking above target, in tandem and alignment with the shareowner experience. Since the 2019-2021 PSU performance period was nearly two-thirds completed, the plan-basis Relative TSR metric was tracking above target, and there was increasing optimism regarding the post-pandemic business conditions, the MDCC took a conservative approach and continued monitoring performance through the end of the cycle before making any decision.
Throughout 2021, the MDCC was provided with, and studied, updates on the 2019-2021 Performance Plan at its February, March, September, and December 2021 meetings. The MDCC conducted rigorous due diligence in considering how to address the following external and internal factors:
The impact of the extended duration of the pandemic and unprecedented global supply chain issues.
Three-year TSR performance for shareowners both on an absolute basis and relative to the Compensation Peer Group.
Heightened human capital risks brought on by intensifying competition for talent.
Incentive plan adjustments disclosed by companies within the Fortune 100.
Honeywell executive-level retention and turnover information as compared to prior years.
Holistic view of compensation actions over the three-year period and the degree of impact from the pandemic.
PSU Formulaic Calculation
In February 2022, the MDCC reviewed the outcomes for the 2019-2021 executive officer PSUs, determined as of December 31, 2021, calculated without taking into consideration the unusual and extraordinary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Payout Decision
In February 2022, the MDCC reviewed and assessed the overall formulaic PSU calculation for the 2019-2021 PSU cycle for the NEOs that received them. The MDCC noted that the unusual and extraordinary adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in zero or low payouts on the three original financial metrics (e.g., 0% for Corporate three-year Cumulative Revenue and three-year Average ROI) that did not adequately or appropriately reflect the performance of the Company over the period and management’s performance and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The minimal calculated payouts for the three financial metrics were also not in tandem with the shareowner experience, as Honeywell’s Relative TSR for the three-year period ranked above the median of our peer group companies, at the 61st percentile.
In response, the MDCC discussed several alternatives for the 2019-2021 PSUs to better align pay with performance. Alternatives discussed included: (i) adjusting the goals or measurement against them by quantifying the impacts of the pandemic on the original targets; (ii) basing the payout purely on Relative TSR; (iii) aligning the PSU payouts with the payouts determined under the 2019-2021 performance cash units to non-officer executives for the same time period, or (iv) modifying the weighting applied in the calculation to each of the four original three-year goals. The Committee also discussed making no changes and allowing the misaligned payouts to occur.
Upon fully assessing and evaluating performance and risks for the full 2019-2021 performance period, in February 2022 the MDCC exercised its authority under the plan to make an appropriate adjustment to the weighting applied to the metrics under the plan for only this 2019-2021 cycle. The original financial goals remained in the calculation to preserve the integrity of the program, but their weighting was reduced from 75% to 50%, to recognize that the pandemic impacts were not contemplated when the goals were originally established, and that the results were adversely and materially impacted by global market forces. The weight applied to the three-year Relative TSR goal was increased from 25% to 50%, to better align with the shareowner experience.
The MDCC determined that the payouts based on this approach better reflected leadership performance and long-term actions taken over the measurement period, as well as the investor experience, while still resulting in a below target payout for this unprecedented and challenging performance period. The MDCC also recognized that this was the last overlapping cycle to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that regular compensation program awards made in 2021, as discussed earlier in this Proxy Statement, reflect the restoration of the ‘normal state’ executive compensation program structure and design elements that shareowners have overwhelmingly supported since being fully implemented in 2018.

The payout percentage for HCE (Ms. Dallara) differed from the Corporate NEOs as the financial metrics portion of her award was based on performance against both Total Honeywell metrics and metrics established for the HCE business unit. Detailed metrics for the HCE business unit are not disclosed because we have determined that such information involves confidential commercial and financial information, the disclosure of which would result in competitive harm for Honeywell.
2019-2021 PSU Payouts (Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Mses. Madden and Dallara)
Based on the final approved award payout percentages for the 2019-2021 performance period for those NEOs who received their 2019-2021 Performance Plan award in the form of PSUs, the MDCC approved the following individual awards to the NEOs:

Earned awards became fully vested on February 26, 2022. 50% of the PSUs earned were converted to shares of Honeywell common stock, with the net shares paid subject to an additional one-year holding period, in accordance with the officer stock ownership guidelines. The remaining 50% was converted to cash based on the closing stock price of Honeywell common stock on December 31, 2021 and paid in March 2022.
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only)
In February 2022, the MDCC also reviewed the calculated outcomes for the 2019-2021 Performance Plan Cash Units (PCUs) issued to 490 non-officer executives in 2019 (which included Mr. Madsen, who was a non-officer at the time of grant). The following summarizes the structure of the 2019-2021 PCU awards, which was different from the officer PSUs described above:

In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for cash-based awards, 100% of the earned cash award for Mr. Madsen for the 2019-2021 performance period is included as 2021 Non-Equity Incentive Compensation on the Summary Compensation Table, even though originally granted in 2019. The MDCC considered this 2019-2021 cash unit award as part of Mr. Madsen's 2019 total annual direct compensation (in the year it was granted), which differs from how it is reported on the Summary Compensation Table.
Mr. Madsen became an Executive Officer in October 2019, and he has received PSU awards since then.

OTHER COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS

I

RETIREMENT PLANS

We offer various retirement benefits to our NEOs. Specifically, depending upon when and where they joined the Company, some NEOs may participate in broad-based plans, including a defined benefit pension plan and a 401(k) savings plan that provides matching Company contributions. We also maintain an unfunded supplemental retirement plan to replace the portion of an executive’s pension benefit that cannot be paid under the broad-based plans because of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations. More information on retirement benefits can be found beginning on page 76.

I84.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Executive officers

Honeywell executives (including the NEOs) may choose to participate in certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans to permit retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner. Executive officersExecutives can elect to defer up to 100% of their annual ICP awards. In addition, executive officersexecutives may also participate in the Honeywell Supplemental Savings Plan to defer base salary that cannot be contributed to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan due to IRS limitations. These amounts are matched by the Company only to the extent required to make up for a shortfall in the available match under the 401(k) savings plan due to IRS limitations. Deferred compensation balances earn interest at a fixed rate based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing, which is subject to change on an annual basis. Consistent with the long-term focus of the executive compensation program, matchingbasis (1.74% for 2021). Matching contributions are treated as if invested in Company common stock. These plans are explained in more detail beginning on page 78.

I87.

BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

Our NEOs are entitled to participate in Honeywell-wide benefits such as life, medical, dental, and accidental death and disability insurance that are competitive with other similarly sized companies. The NEOs participate in these programs on the same basis as the rest of our salaried employees. We also maintain low-cost excess liability coverage for all executive-level personnel, including the NEOs. The NEOs are also eligible for an annual executive physical, and Charlotte-based officers participate in a low-cost regional concierge medical service program which was first introduced in 2020.

Our security policy requires that our Chairman and CEO use Honeywell aircraft for all air travel (business or personal) to ensure personal security and protect the confidentiality of our business. From time to time, we also permit other executive officers to use Honeywell aircraft for personal or business use. The security plan for the Chairman and CEO also provides for home security and related monitoring.

COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES

I  WHAT WE DOI  WHAT WE DON’T DO

LOGO

Pay for Performance. We closely align pay and performance, with a significant portion of target total direct compensation at-risk. The MDCC validates this alignment annually and ensures performance-based compensation represents a significant portion of executive compensation.

LOGO

No Excessive Perks. We do not provide perquisites except in cases where there is a compelling business or security reason, nor do we provide tax gross-ups for officers, other than in connection with a Company-required relocation.

LOGO

Robust Performance Goals. We establish clear and measurable goals and targets and hold our executives accountable for achieving specified levels to earn a payout under our incentive plans. We use different sets of operational metrics for ICP and performance-based LTI to drive top and bottom-line growth over multiple time frames, aligned with our goal of sustained long-term performance.

LOGO

No Guaranteed Annual Salary Increases or Bonuses. Annual salary increases are based on evaluations of individual performance and the competitive market. In addition, we do not provide guarantees on bonus payouts.

LOGO

Clawback Practices. We maintain a policy that allows for recoupment of incentive compensation for a significant financial restatement or if an executive leaves the Company to join a competitor.

LOGO

No Hedging or Pledging. We do not allow hedging or pledging of our stock.

LOGO

Double Trigger in the Event of a Change-in-Control (CIC). We have double trigger vesting on equity and severance for CIC; executives will not receive cash severance nor will equity vest in the event of a CIC unless accompanied by qualifying termination of employment.

LOGO

No Excise Tax Gross-Ups and No Accelerated Bonus Payments Upon CIC. Excise tax gross-ups have been eliminated for all executive officers. Plans provide that ICP awards earned in the year of a CIC would be paid at the time they would typically be paid based on business performance rather than target.

LOGO

Maximum Payout Caps for Incentive Plans. Annual cash incentive plan (ICP) and Performance Plan payouts are capped.

LOGO

No Incentivizing of Short-Term Results to the Detriment of Long-Term Goals and Results. Pay mix is heavily weighted toward long-term incentives aligned with the interests of shareowners.

LOGO

Robust Stock Ownership Requirements. We require executive officers to hold meaningful amounts of stock and require them to hold net shares for one year from exercise or vesting.

LOGO

No Excessive Risks. Compensation practices are appropriately structured and avoid incentivizing employees to engage in excessive risk-taking.

LOGO

Options Granted at FMV. Annual stock options awarded to all executives (including the NEOs) are approved by the MDCC on the same day, with an exercise price no less than the fair market value of Honeywell’s common stock on the date of grant.

LOGO

No Options Repricing. We prohibit repricing (reduction in exercise price or exchange for cash or other consideration) or reloading of stock options.

LOGO

Independent Compensation Consultant. The MDCC retains an independent compensation consultant to review and advise the MDCC on executive compensation matters. The independent consultant attends all MDCC meetings.

LOGO

No Consultant Conflicts. Under the MDCC’s established policy, the compensation consultant cannot provide any other services to Honeywell without the MDCC’s approval. Regular independence reviews are conducted.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

RISK OVERSIGHT CONSIDERATIONS

The MDCC believes that balancing the various elements of Honeywell’s executive compensation program:

Supports the achievement of competitive sales, earnings, and cash performance in variable economic and industry conditions without undue risk; and

Mitigates the potential to reward risk-taking that may produce short-term results that appear in isolation to be favorable, but that may undermine the successful execution of the Company’s long-term business strategy and adversely impact shareowner value.

The following compensation design features guard against unnecessary or excessive risk-taking:

Robust processes for developing strategic and annual operating plans, approval of capital investments, internal controls over financial reporting, and other financial, operational, and compliance policies and practices.

Diversity of the Company’s overall portfolio of businesses with respect to industries and markets served (types, long-cycle / short-cycle), products and services sold, and geographic footprint.

MDCC review and approval of corporate, business, and individual executive officer objectives to ensure that these goals are aligned with the Company’s annual operating and strategic plans, achieve the proper risk/reward balance, and do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

appreciation.

Incentive plans are not overly leveraged, have maximum payout caps, and have design features that are intended to balance pay for performance with an appropriate level of risk-taking.

The MDCC also has someretains discretionary authority (e.g., 20% of awards) to adjust the annual ICP payments, which further reduces the potential for negative business risk associated with such plans.

Adoption of clawback policies, which provide for the recoupment of incentive compensation paid to senior executives if there is a significant restatement of Company financial results. Clawback provisions in the Company’s current stock plan also allow the Company to cancel sharesexclude unusual or recover gains realized by an executive if non-competition or non-solicitation provisions are violated.

Prohibition on hedging and pledging of shares by executive officers and directors.

Ownership thresholds in the Company’s stock ownership guidelines for officers that require NEOs to hold shares of common stock equal to four times their current annual base salary (six times for the CEO), as detailed in the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

Officers must also hold 100% of the net shares from vesting of RSUs, the net shares issued from PSUs,infrequently occurring items, extraordinary items, and the net gain shares from option exercises for at least one year.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

ISTOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The MDCC believes that Honeywell executives more effectively pursue shareowners’ long-term interests if they hold substantial amounts of stock. Accordingly, the MDCC maintains minimum stock ownership guidelines for all executive officers.

Under these guidelines, the Chairman and CEO must hold shares of common stock equal in value to six times his current annual base salary. Other executive officers are required to own shares equal in value to four times their current base salary. Shares used in determining whether these guidelines are met include shares held personally, equivalent shares held in qualified and nonqualified retirement accounts, outstanding RSUs, and 50% of outstanding PSUs. All NEOs maintain ownership levels well above these minimum requirements, as shown in the following table.

In addition, the stock ownership guidelines require officers to hold for at least one year 100% of the “net shares” obtained from RSUs that vest, the “net shares” issued from PSUs, and the “net gain shares” obtained from the exercise of stock options. “Net shares” means the number of shares issued when RSUs vest or PSUs are earned, less the number of shares withheld or sold to pay applicable taxes. “Net gain shares” means the number of shares obtained from exercising stock options, less the number of shares needed to cover the option exercise price and applicable taxes.

After the one-year holding period, officers may sell net shares or net gain shares; however, after the sale, they must continue to meet the prescribed minimum stock ownership guideline level.

I

RECOUPMENT/CLAWBACK

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the recoupment (or clawback) of incentive compensation paid to senior executives if there is a significant restatement of financial results (a Restatement). Under the guidelines, the Board can seek recoupment if and to the extent that:

The amount of incentive compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently reduced due to a Restatement;

The senior executive engaged in misconduct; and

The amount of incentive compensation that would have been awarded to the senior executive had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded.

The complete text of the Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted on our website at investor.honeywell.com (see “Corporate Governance/“Governance/Governance Guidelines”Overview”).

In addition, if during the two-year period following an executive officer’s termination of employment with Honeywell, he or she commences employment with, or otherwise provides services to a Honeywell competitor, without the MDCC’s prior approval, or violates non-solicitation commitments, then the Company reserves the right, for awards issued under its Stock Incentive Plans, to:

Cancel all unexercised options; and

Recover any gains attributable to options that were exercised, and any value attributable to RSUs and Performance Plan awards that were paid, during the period beginning 12 months before and ending two years after the executive officer’s termination of employment.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS

Honeywell has entered into non-competition agreements with each of the NEOs that preclude them from going to work for a competitor for up to two years after termination of employment. The list of competitors and the duration of the non-competition covenant has been tailored, in each case, to the executive officer’s position and the competitive threat this represents. Because money damages cannot adequately compensate Honeywell for violations of these non-competition covenants, we have a full range of equitable remedies at our disposal to enforce these agreements, including the ability to seek injunctive relief.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Beginning in 2018, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the federal income tax deduction for annual individual compensation to $1 million for the NEOs,Company’s “covered employees” without any exception for performance-based compensation, subject to a transition rule for certain written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, and not materially modified after that date. The Company intends to comply with the transition rule for written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, to the extent applicable, so long as the MDCC determines that to be in the Company’s best interest. As discussed above under Compensation Practices and Policies, the MDCC seeks to closely align executive pay with performance, even if there is no longer a “performance-based” provision under Section 162(m), and, in any case, the MDCC reserves the ability to structure compensation arrangements to provide appropriate compensation to the Company’s executives, even where such compensation is not deductible under Section 162(m).

I

PLEDGING AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS IN COMPANY SECURITIES

Executive officers, directors, and any of their respective designees are prohibited from pledging Honeywell’s securities or using Honeywell’s securities to support margin debt. All other employees must exercise extreme caution in pledging Honeywell’s securities or using Honeywell’s securities to support margin debt.

Hedging by directors, executive officers, employees on our restricted trading list, any employee in possession of material non-public information, or any of their designees is prohibited, and it is strongly discouraged for all other employees. For this purpose, hedging means purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward sale contracts, equity swaps, collars, and interests in exchange funds) or otherwise engaging in transactions that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Company stock held, directly or indirectly, by them, whether the stock was acquired as part of a compensation arrangement or otherwise.

All employees, directors, and any of their respective designees are prohibited from engaging in short sales of Honeywell securities. Selling or purchasing puts or calls or otherwise trading in or writing options on Honeywell’s securities by employees, officers, and directors is also prohibited.

The 2021-2023 PSU award value was calculated based on the weighted average of (a) the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant for the 75% of the award tied to performance against internal metrics, and (b) a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation of Honeywell’s stock price and TSR relative to each of the other companies in the Compensation Peer Group, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, for the 25% of the award with payout determined based on three-year TSR relative to the Compensation Peer Group. The value of the 2020-2022 PSU modification represents the incremental fair value of 2020-2022 PSUs originally granted in 2020, determined as of the March 15, 2021 modification date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for a Type III modification, with no offset for the forfeiture of the portion of the original award that became improbable of attainment due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The subsequent pandemic-related adjustment to the plan financial metrics for the 2020-2022 PSUs,2021 plan year. 80% of the ICP award is determined using the pre-set formulaic methodology discussed beginning on page 60, and the remaining 20% is based on individual assessments determined by the MDCC discussed beginning on page 62. The amount for Mr. Madsen includes the sum of both his 2021 annual ICP award and his earned payout from Performance Plan cash units issued for the January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2021 cycle, that is required to be reported in the final year of the performance period under SEC rules, even though granted in 2019 and covering a three-year period. The following table provides the breakdown of the amounts reported as 2021 Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for Mr. Madsen:

Under SEC rules, negative changes in pension values are not reported on the table.

The 2020 Option Awards shown reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the time of grant, with the expected-term input derived from a risk-adjusted Monte Carlo simulation of the historical exercise behavior and probability-weighted movements in Honeywell’s stock price over time. The 2020 annual Option Awards were awarded on February 14, 2020, with a Black-Scholes value of $21.41 per share at the time of grant. A discussion of the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards made in fiscal year 2020 may be found in Note 16 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

MDCC viewed as a pandemic-related realignment to the intended grant date value of the PSU awards reported on the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for 2020. For 2020, this column also excludes the 2018-2020 performance cash award to Mr. Lewis, which was awarded in 2018 and considered part of TADC by the MDCC in 2018 but required to be reported on the Summary Compensation Table as 2020 compensation (at the end of the three-year performance period) under SEC rules.

EXECUTIVE

COMPENSATION TABLES

The SERP and REP benefits depend on the length of each Named Executive Officer’s employment with Honeywell (and companies that have been acquired by Honeywell). This information is provided in the table above under the column titled “Number of Years of Credited Service.” The column in the table above titled “Present Value of Accumulated Benefits” represents a financial calculation that estimates the cash value today of the full pension benefit that has been earned by each Named Executive Officer. It is based on various assumptions, including assumptions about how long each Named Executive Officer will live and future interest rates. Additional details about the pension benefits for each Named Executive Officer include:

The REP is a tax-qualified pension plan in which a significant portion of Honeywell’s U.S. employees participate.

The REP complies with tax requirements applicable to broad-based pension plans, which impose dollar limits on the amount of benefits that can be provided. As a result, the pensions that can be paid under the REP for higher-paid employees represent a much smaller fraction of current income than the pensions that can be paid to less highly paid employees. We make up for this difference, in part, by providing supplemental pensions through the SERP.

All SERP benefits will be paid on the first day of the first month that begins following the 105th day after the later of the officer’s separation from service (as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A) or his or her earliest retirement date.

Pension Benefit Calculation Formulas

Ms. Dallara does not participate in the REP or the SERP and is not eligible to receive a pension benefit from Honeywell.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES
PENSION BENEFIT CALCULATION FORMULAS
Within the REP and the SERP, a variety of formulas are used to determine pension benefits. Different benefit formulas apply for different groups of employees for historical reasons. Generally, as Honeywell has grown through acquisitions, the Company has in many cases retained the benefit formulas under pension plans that were maintained by the companies acquired, in order to provide continuity for employees. The differences in the benefit formulas for our Named Executive Officers reflect this history. The explanation below describes the formulas that are used to determine the amount of pension benefits for each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (NEOs) under the REP and the SERP.

For each pension benefit calculation formula listed in the REP formulachart above, compensation includes base salary,pay, short-term incentive compensation, payroll-based rewards and recognition and lump sum incentives. Calculations for pension formulas other than the UOPREP formula include the annual incentive compensation in the year earned while theearned. The REP formula includes annual incentive compensation in the year paid. The amount of compensation taken into account under the REP is limited by tax rules, but the amount of compensation taken into account under the SERP is not. The 2015 compensation change described above also applies to the compensation taken into account under the SERP.

The benefit formulas above describe the pension benefits in terms of a lump sum cash payment (for the REP formula) or a single life annuity (for the UOP formula)other formulas). Participants are entitled to receive their benefits in other payment forms, including, for example joint and survivor annuities, period certain annuities and level income payments. However, the value of each available payment form is the same. Based on SERP terms, Mr. GautamMadsen will receive his SERP benefits in the form of an annuity.

A participant is eligible for early retirement if the participant's age and years of service equal or exceed 60 and the participant has attainedattached age 50 with at least tenfive years of vesting service.service or if the participant's age and years of service equal or exceed 80 regardless of the participant's age.

As stated above, the pension formula used to determine the amount of pension benefits under each of the plans for our Named Executive Officers (NEO)NEOs differs for historical reasons.

INONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2020

Since 2005, 2021

Honeywell has taken steps to limitlimits deferred compensation amounts owed to executives by reducing the overall interest rate earned on new deferrals and accelerating the payout of deferred amounts, thereby limiting the period over which interest is earned. These include changinghaving the interest rate accruing on new deferrals under the Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Honeywell Supplemental Savings Plan (the SS Plan) and the Honeywell Deferred Incentive Plan (the DIC Plan) from a fixed above-market rate tobe a rate that changes annually based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing;borrowing and requiring payment of the SS Plan or DIC Plan deferrals to begin shortly after termination of employment in a lump sum unless the participant leaves the Company after reaching retirement (age 55 with 10 years of service). In addition, cash dividend equivalents on vested deferred RSUs cannot be deferred and dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs are reinvested in additional RSUs and subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying RSUs.

All deferred compensation amounts, regardless of the plan, are unfunded and unsecured obligations of the Company and are subject to the same risks as any of the Company’s general obligations.
(1)

For SS Plan deferrals, the Company matching contributions are credited annually no later than the following January 31st if the Named Executive Officer was actively employed or on a disability leave of absence as of December 15th. The value of registrant contributions in the last fiscal year for the SS Plan includes annual matching contributions that were credited to the Named Executive Officers in January 2022 for the 2021 year.
(2)The value of executive contributions in the last fiscal year is calculated by multiplying the number of deferred RSUs that vested in 2021 by the closing price of a share of common stock on the vesting date (or the next business day following the vesting date). The value of the aggregate balance at the last fiscal year is calculated by multiplying the total number of vested, deferred RSUs on December 31, 2021, by the closing price of a share of common stock on December 31, 2021 ($208.51). This column reflects the following: 34,716 units including dividend reinvestment units and $445,628 in cash for Ms. Madden.

EXECUTIVE

COMPENSATION TABLES

Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Honeywell Supplemental Savings Plan

HONEYWELL EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN AND HONEYWELL SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

The Supplemental Savings Plan allows Honeywell executives, including the Named Executive Officers, to defer the portion of their annual base salary that cannot be contributed to the Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan due to the annual deferral and compensation limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and/or up to an additional 25% of base annual salary for the plan year.

To the extent amounts have not already been matched on a similar basis under the Company’s 401(k) plan, Honeywell matched deferrals posted to the SS Plan at the rate of 87.5% on the first 8% of eligible pay. Matching contributions are always vested and are credited on an annual basis if the participant was actively employed or on a disability leave of absence as of December 15, 2020.

2021.

Interest Rate.Participant deferrals for the 2005 plan year and later are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing. The rate is subject to change annually, and for 2020,2021, this rate was 2.76%1.74%. Participant deferrals for the 2004 plan year and earlier are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, that was set by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) before the beginning of each plan year and is fixed until the deferral is distributed. Prior to the 2005 plan year, the MDCC would set the rate at an above-market rate to retain executives. Above-market interest credited on SS Plan deferrals and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7078 includes the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the interest credited under the SS Plan. Matching contributions are treated as invested in common stock. Dividends are treated as reinvested in additional shares of common stock.

Distribution.Amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and later will be distributed in a lump sum in January of the year following the termination of the participant’s active employment. For the 2020 plan year and later, a participant can elect to receive five, 10 or 15 installments in lieu of the lump sum payment, which election will take effect only if the participant terminates employment after reaching age 55 with 10 years of service; for the 2006 to 2019 plan years, a participant could elect up to ten installments under the same terms.

Except in hardship circumstances, amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier will be distributed either in January of any subsequent year or in January of the year following termination of employment, as elected by the participant. The participant could elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments.

Participant deferrals to the SS Plan are distributed in cash only. Matching contributions are distributed in shares of common stock.

Amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and later cannot be withdrawn before the distribution date for any reason. Amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier may be withdrawn before the distribution date if a hardship exists or the participant requests an immediate withdrawal subject to a penalty of 6%.

Honeywell Salary and Incentive Award Deferral Plan for Selected Employees

HONEYWELL SALARY AND INCENTIVE AWARD DEFERRAL PLAN FOR SELECTED EMPLOYEES
The Honeywell DIC Plan allows Honeywell executives, including the Named Executive Officers, to defer all or a portion of their annual cash incentive compensation.

Interest Rate.Beginning in 2005, deferrals are credited with a rate of interest, based on Honeywell’s 15-year borrowing rate which is set annually at the beginning of the year (2.76%(1.74% for 2020)2021). Amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, that was set by the MDCC before the beginning of each plan year and is fixed until the deferral is distributed. Prior to the 2005 plan year, the MDCC would set the total rate at an above-market rate to retain executives. Above-market interest credited on DIC Plan deferrals and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7078 includes the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the interest credited under the DIC Plan.

Distribution.

Distribution. Amounts deferred for the 2006 plan year and later will be distributed in a lump sum in January of the year following the termination of the participant’s active employment. For the 2020 plan year and later, a participant can elect to receive five, 10 or 15 installments in lieu of the lump sum payment, which election will take effect only if the participant terminates employment after reaching age 55 with 10 years of service; for the 2006 to 2019 plan years, a participant could elect up to 10 installments under the same terms.

Except in hardship circumstances (if permitted), amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and earlier will be distributed either in January of any year three years after the compensation was earned or in January of the year following termination of the participant’s employment, as elected by the participant. The participant could elect to receive non-hardship distributions in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES
Amounts deferred for the 2002 plan year and later cannot be withdrawn before the distribution date for any reason. Amounts deferred for the 2001 plan year and earlier may be withdrawn before the distribution date if a hardship exists or the participant requests an immediate withdrawal subject to a penalty that ranges from 0% to 6% and that is based on the 10-year Treasury bond rate at the beginning of the calendar quarter.

EXECUTIVE

COMPENSATION TABLES

Deferral of RSUs

The Named Executive Officers may defer the receipt of up to 100% of theircertain RSUs upon vesting based on an election made at the time of grant. The executive may defer payment to:

A specific year after the vesting year; or

The year following the executive’s termination of active employment.

The executive can also choose to receive payment in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments and can also elect at the time of grant to accelerate the form and timing of payment following a change in control to a lump sum paid no later than 90 days following the change in control. Cash dividend equivalents on deferred RSUs (determined at the same rate as a regular share of common stock) are converted to additional deferred RSUs as of the dividend payment date and are subject to the same payment schedule and restrictions as the underlying deferred RSUs. For grants made before July 2004, an executive could also defer dividend equivalents in cash and such amounts are credited with interest at a 10% rate, compounded daily, until payment. The practice of deferring dividend equivalents in cash ended in July 2004. Ms. Madden is the only NEO with legacy deferred RSU awards under these prior provisions. Above-market interest related to theMs. Madden's deferred RSU dividend equivalents reflected inis included on the Summary Compensation Table on page 70 includesas the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the 10% interest credited by the Company on theher pre-July 2004 grants, the terms of which cannot be amended.

Unvested Dividend Equivalents

UNVESTED DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
Cash dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs (determined at the same rate as a regular share of common stock) are converted to additional unvested RSUs as of the dividend payment date and are subject to the same vesting schedule and restrictions as the underlying RSUs.

The terms of the SERP Plan, the SS Plan, the DIC Plan, the deferred RSUs and the unvested dividend equivalents are subject to the requirements of, and regulations and guidance published by, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

This section describes the benefits payable to our named executive officers (NEOs) in two circumstances:

Termination of Employment

Change in Control (CIC)

Senior Severance Plan

SENIOR SEVERANCE PLAN
These benefits are determined primarily under a plan that we refer to as our Senior Severance Plan. In addition to the Senior Severance Plan, other of our benefits plans, such as our annual incentive compensation plan, also have provisions that impact these benefits.

These benefits ensure that our executives are motivated primarily by the needs of the businesses for which they are responsible, rather than circumstances that are outside the ordinary course of business, i.e., circumstances that might lead to the termination of an executive’s employment or that might lead to a CIC of the Company. Generally, this is achieved by assuring our NEOs that they will receive a level of continued compensation if their employment is adversely affected in these circumstances, subject to certain conditions. We believe that these benefits help ensure that affected executives act in the best interests of our shareowners, even if such actions are otherwise contrary to their personal interests. This is critical because these are circumstances in which the actions of our NEOs may have a material impact upon our shareowners. Accordingly, we set the level and terms of these benefits in a way that we believe is necessary to obtain the desired results. The level of benefit and the rights to benefits are determined by the type of termination event, as described below. We believe that these benefits are generally in line with current market practices and are particularly important as we do not maintain employment agreements with our NEOs.

Benefits provided under the Senior Severance Plan are conditioned on the executive executing a full release of claims and certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in favor of the Company. The right to continued severance benefits under the plan ceases in the event of a violation of such covenants. In addition, we would seek to recover severance benefits already paid to any executive who violates such restrictive covenants.

Notice and Proxy Statement | 2022

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES
In the case of a CIC, severance benefits are payable only if both parts of the “double trigger” are satisfied. That is, (i) there must be a CIC of our Company, and (ii)(A) the NEO must be involuntarily terminated other than for cause, or (ii)(B) the NEO must initiate the termination of his own employment for good reason. Similarly, the Company also amended its stock incentive plan in 2014 to eliminate automatic single-trigger vesting of all new equity and Performance Plan Unit awards that are rolled-over upon a CIC.

COMPENSATION TABLES

Summary of Benefits—Termination Events

The following table summarizes the termination of employment and CIC benefits payable to our NEOs. None of these termination benefits are payable to NEOs who voluntarily quitresign (other than voluntary resignations for good reason after a CIC) or whose employment is terminated by us for cause. The information in the table below assumes, in each case, that termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2020.2021. Pension and nonqualifiednon-qualified deferred compensation benefits, which are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, are not included in the table below in accordance with applicable SEC rules, even though they may become payable upon the occurrence of the events specified in the table. The effect of a termination of employment or CIC on outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs is described in the section below entitled “Impact on Equity-Based Awards.”

Paid periodically, in cash.

Bonus is equal to target percentage of base salary.

Three years of base salary and bonus for Mr. Adamczyk, and two years of base salary and bonus for Messrs. Lewis, Gautam, and Waldron and Ms. Madden.

the Other NEOs.

Annual Bonus for the Year of Termination-Cash Payment


Annual ICP Plan bonus is payable to NEOs for the year in which a CIC occurs.

N/A.

Based on achievement of pre-established ICP goals and the MDCC’s assessment of other relevant criteria, for the stub period ending on the CIC (as defined in the ICP Plan) date, prorated through the CIC date.

Paid in cash at the time ICP awards are typically paid to Honeywell executives for the year in which a CIC occurs, but only if the employee is actively employed on the payment date, has been involuntarily terminated other than for cause or has terminated employment for good reason.

Performance Cash Units


Performance Cash Unit awards are paid out in the event of death, disability and a qualifying termination of employment upon a CIC.

Only Mr. LewisMadsen (for the 2018-20202019-2021 performance cycle) has a Performance Cash Unit (PCU) award issued in 2019 prior to becoming an officer of the Company. PCUs are paid out on a pro rata basis upon death or disability. As the 2018-20202019-2021 PCU performance cycle has already concluded, any payout would be the full amount earned based on actual performance.

Upon a CIC, unvested PCUs remain outstanding to the extent assumed by the successor. Following a CIC, unvested PCUs would vest on a pro rata basis in the event of an involuntary termination other than for cause or a voluntary termination for good reason, within 2 years of the CIC event. For a performance cycle that has already concluded, payout would be based on actual performance. For a performance cycle in progress, the prorated payout would be based on target performance. The “Change in Control-Termination of Employment” column includes the full payout for the 2018-20202019-2021 performance cycle for Mr. Lewis.

IMPACT ON EQUITY-BASED AWARDS
This section describes the impact of a termination of employment or a CIC on outstanding stock options, RSUs and Performance Plan Stock Units (PSUs) held by our NEOs. Additional information about these awards is included in the Outstanding Equity Awards Table on pages 73 and 74page 81 of this Proxy Statement.

The table below shows the in-the-money value of outstanding unvested stock options, RSUs, PSUs and PSUsPCUs held by our NEOs as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on the closing price of a share of common stock as reported on the New York Stock ExchangeNasdaq on that date ($212.70)208.51). These awards are scheduled to vest and to expire on various dates in the future. As described below, the vesting of these awards will be accelerated upon death, disability or a qualifying termination of employment following a CIC. Equity awards issued since April 28, 2014, do not automatically vest upon a CIC to the extent assumed or replaced by the successor in the transaction. In addition, stock options will remain outstanding for different periods depending on the circumstances. The value to a NEO of these provisions depends on the vesting period and remaining terms of the awards.

Termination orTERMINATION OR CIC Impact On Outstanding Awards

IMPACT ON OUTSTANDING AWARDS

Treatment of outstanding stock plan awards following termination of employment depends on the plan under which the awards were granted, as follows:

Plan

Treatment of Stock Options, RSURSUs, PSUs and PSUsPCUs

2011 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates

RSUs become vested in full upon death or disability.

Following termination of employment, unless otherwise agreed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the plan, participants (or their beneficiaries) have until the earlier of the original expiration date or the following period in which to exercise vested options:

—  

Three (3) years in the event of death, disability or a voluntary or involuntary termination (other than for cause) after qualifying for “early retirement” (age 55 and 10 years of service) or “full retirement” (age 60 and 10 years of service);

—  

One (1) year in the case of any other involuntary termination without cause; and

—  

Thirty (30) days in the case of a voluntary termination.

These rules are hereinafter referred to as the “2011 Stock Plan Exercise Rules.”

Unvested stock options and RSUs do not automatically vest upon a CIC if rolled over or replaced by the successor. Following a CIC, vesting shall only occur if a participant’s employment is terminated, either by the successor without cause or by the participant for good reason (that is, “double trigger” vesting), within two years following a CIC. These rules are hereinafter referred to as the “Double Trigger CIC Rules”.

2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates

The Double Trigger CIC Rules apply to unvested stock options and RSUs under this plan. Double trigger vesting also applies to PSUs awarded under this plan where the awards are rolled over or replaced by the successor, with vesting on a pro rata basis at target for incomplete performance periods, and based on the actual earned award for completed performance cycles, and paid within 90 days of a participant’s termination of employment, either by the successor without cause or by the participant for good reason (that is, “double trigger” vesting), within two years following a CIC.

RSU and PSU awards that are not rolled over or replaced by the successor vest immediately upon the CIC.

The 2011 Stock Plan Exercise Rules apply to vested stock options under this plan.

In the case of Ms. Dallara, the Company agreed that her vested options will expire on the first anniversary of the effective date of her resignation.

There is no acceleration of vesting of awards upon reaching retirement age.

Unvested RSUs and a prorated amount of a PSU award are paid upon a termination due to death or disability. Unvested stock options vest upon a termination due to death or disability.

CEO PAY RATIO

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of the individual identified as our median paid employee and the annual total compensation of Mr. Darius Adamczyk, our Chairman and CEO:

As permitted by the SEC rules, the median employee utilized for the 2020 pay ratio disclosure is the same median employee identified and used for the 2018 CEO pay ratio as there were no changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements during 2019 and 2020 that would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure. We most recently identified our median employee using our global employee population as of November 1, 2018 (Determination Date). We collected actual base salary, incentive awards paid, and any overtime paid during the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. As permitted under SEC rules, we annualized the compensation of all newly hired permanent employees during this period.

CEO.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, and to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee”, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates we used were as follows:

For purposes of the 2021 pay ratio disclosure, Honeywell identified a new median employee using our global employee population as of October 31, 2021 (Determination Date). We consideredselected October 31 as the Determination Date, as it was a date within the last three months of 2021, and would allow sufficient time to gather the information to identify the median employee given the global scope of our operations.

To identify the median employee from our employee population, we collected actual base salary and incentive awards paid during the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. As permitted under SEC rules, we annualized the compensation of all newly hired permanent employees during this period. Using this methodology, our median employee was determined to be a full-time employee based in the United States.
The annual total compensation for our median employee in calendar 2020,2021, our last completed fiscal year:

year, was $75,529, calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) of this proxy statement. The annual total compensation of thefor our median employee of our Company (other than our CEO) was $64,438; and

includes $9,474 in Company-paid healthcare benefits.

TheFor 2021, the annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $19,075,281.

$26,106,477, which is $6,357 higher than the amount shown in the SCT because of the inclusion of Company-paid healthcare benefits, which are not reflected on the SCT in accordance with SEC rules.

Based on this information, for 2020,2021, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Adamczyk, our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 296346 to 1.

The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported here, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

PROPOSAL 3:

APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is recommending approval of its appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as independent accountants for Honeywell to audit its consolidated financial statements for 20212022 and to perform audit-related services. These services include reviewing our quarterly interim financial information and periodic reports and registration statements filed with the SEC and consultation in connection with various accounting and financial reporting matters. If shareowners do not approve, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

The Audit Committee, and Honeywell’s Board of Directors, believe that the continued retention of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareowners. Honeywell has been advised by Deloitte that it will have a representative present virtually at the Annual Meeting who will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The representative will also have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Audit Committee reviews non-audit services proposed to be provided by Deloitte to determine whether they would be compatible with maintaining Deloitte’s independence. The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the engagement of Deloitte to provide non-audit services. Specifically:

The Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves an annual budget for specific categories of non-audit services (that are detailed as to the particular services) which Deloitte is to be permitted to provide (those categories do not include any of the prohibited services in the auditor independence provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002). This review includes an evaluation of the possible impact of the provision of such services by Deloitte on the firm’s independence in performing its audit and audit-related services.

The Audit Committee reviews the non-audit services performed by, and amount of fees paid to, Deloitte, by category in comparison to the pre-approved budget.

The engagement of Deloitte to provide non-audit services that do not fall within a specific category of pre-approved services, or that would result in the total fees payable to Deloitte in any category to exceed the pre-approved amount, requires the prior approval of the Audit Committee. Between regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee Chair may represent the entire committee for purposes of review and approval of any such engagement, and the Chair is required to report on all such interim reviews at the committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting.

PROPOSAL 3:

APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee consists of the sixfive directors named below. Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director as defined by applicable SEC rules and stock exchange listing standards.

Management is responsible for Honeywell’s internal controls and preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s independent accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities and subject to shareowner ratification, appointing the Company’s independent accountants. As stated above and in the Committee’s charter, the Committee’s responsibility is one of oversight. The Committee does not provide any expert or special assurance as to Honeywell’s financial statements concerning compliance with laws, regulations, or generally accepted accounting principles. In performing its oversight function, the Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on representations made by management and the independent accountants.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Honeywell’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20202021 with management and the independent accountants for 2020,2021, Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte). Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Committee also reviewed, and discussed with management and Deloitte, management’s report and Deloitte’s report on internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Honeywell’s independent accountants provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Committee discussed with the independent accountants their independence. The Audit Committee concluded that Deloitte’s provision of non-audit services, as detailed in the table on page 87,95, to the Company and its affiliates is compatible with Deloitte’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the independent accountants and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent accountants, the Committee recommended thatto the Board of Directors includethat the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, be filed with the SEC.

SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—SHAREHOLDER RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT

PROPOSAL 4: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—

SHAREHOLDER RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT

This proposal has been submitted by John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Ave., No. 205 Redondo Beach, CA 90278 (the beneficial owner of 100 shares of common stock):

Shareholders request that our board of directors undertake such steps as may be necessary to permit written consent by shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent.

Taking action by written consent in place of a meeting is a means shareholders can use to raise important matters outside the normal annual meeting cycle like the election of a new director.

This proposal topic won 40% support at a previous Honeywell annual meeting. And this was before the shareholder right to call a special in-person shareholder meeting was eliminated by the 2020 pandemic.

Ms. Linnet Deily, the Chair of the Honeywell Governance Committee, seems to have completely overlooked the safeguards that can be built into granting shareholders a right to act by written consent.

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) said it adopted written consent in 2019 after 45%-support (clearly less than a majority vote) for a written consent shareholder proposal. And this was a year before the pandemic put an end to in-person shareholder meetings – perhaps forever. It is so much easier for management to conduct an online shareholder meeting that management is now spoiled and will never want to return to an in-person shareholder meeting.

Shareholders need to be able to accomplish more outside of a shareholder meeting due to the onslaught of online shareholder meetings replacing in-person shareholder meetings.

With the near universal use of online annual shareholder meetings starting in 2020 shareholders no longer have the right to discuss concerns with other shareholders and with their directors at a shareholder meeting. Shareholder meetings can now be online meetings which has an inferior format to a Zoom meeting.

Shareholders are also severely restricted in making their views known at online shareholder meetings because all challenging questions and comments can be screened out at an online meeting.

For instance Goodyear management became an example of turning an online shareholder meeting into a mute button meeting. Goodyear management hit the mute button right in the middle of a formal shareholder proposal presentation at its 2020 shareholder meeting. With a deep slumping stock price Goodyear management simply did not want shareholders to hear constructive shareholder criticism.

Shareholders now need to have the option more than ever to take action outside of a shareholder meeting since online shareholder meetings are devoid of significance.

Please vote yes: Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent–Proposal 4

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Honeywell Board recommends that shareowners vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:

LOGO

Shareowners holding 15% of our outstanding shares already have the right to call a special (either in-person or in a virtual format) at any time.

The Board believes that shareowner action by written consent is unnecessary in light of our shareowners’ right to call special meetings, which can be in-person or virtual, based on the written request of 15% of outstanding shares. Allowing any shareowner, regardless of ownership interest, to initiate a potentially unlimited number of written consent solicitations on any topic at any time could enable a single shareowner to advance its own narrow, parochial interests to the detriment of the majority of shareowners. The 15% threshold required to call a special meeting of shareowners guards against the exertion of undue influence by individual shareowners in pursuit of special interests that may be inconsistent with our shareowners’ long-term best interests. The Board believes the Company’s current governance practices strike the right balance between the rights of shareowners to have a voice in how Honeywell is governed, on the one hand, and protecting against abusive actions that may disrupt the effective management of our Company and be detrimental to shareowner interests, on the other.

PROPOSAL 4: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING IMPROVEMENT
The following proposal was submitted for inclusion in this Proxy Statement by John Chevedden (the beneficial owner of 100 shares of common stock). We will provide the proponent’s address promptly upon a shareowner’s oral or written request. If Mr. Chevedden, or a representative who is qualified under state law, properly presents such proposal for a vote, then the proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with rules of the SEC, other than minor formatting changes, we are reprinting Mr. Chevedden’s proposal and supporting statement as it was submitted to us and we take no responsibility for its content:
Proposal 4 – Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement
image_02a.jpg
Shareholders ask our board to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting.
Although now it theoretically takes 15% of all shares to call for a special shareholder meeting, this translates into 20% of the Honeywell shares that typically vote at the annual meeting. It would be hopeless to think that the shares that do not have time to vote at the annual meeting would have time to take the special procedural steps to call for a special shareholder meeting.
It is important to vote for this Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement proposal because we have no right to act by written consent.
Many companies provide for both a shareholder right to call a special shareholder meeting and a shareholder right to act by written consent. Southwest Airlines and Target are companies that do not provide for shareholder written consent and yet provide for 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting.
Plus Honeywell shareholders gave 42% support to the 2021 shareholder proposal calling for a shareholder right to act by written consent. This 42% support may have represented 51% support from the shares that have access to independent proxy voting advice and are not forced to rely on management scare tactics. Management failed to recognize the elementary fact that written consent protects shareholder rights because written consent can be structured so that all shareholders receive ample notice.
Plus in order to reduce shareholder support for written consent to 42% Honeywell management reached into the corporate war chest and sent out a voters guide for dummies, who want to vote in lockstep with management, shortly before the annual meeting.
When reading the management statement next to this 2022 proposal or the 2021 proposal please remember that there is a formal process to root out any misleading shareholder text in a shareholder proposal but there is no formal process to root out misleading management text next to a shareholder proposal.
To help make up for our lack of a right to act by written consent we need the right of 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting.
Please vote yes: Shareholder Meeting Improvement–Proposal 4

PROPOSAL 4:

SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—SHAREHOLDER RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT

97

LOGO

Majority of shareowners with whom we spoke believe that the right to act by written consent is not warranted where shareowners already have the right to call a special meeting.

We have discussed written consent proposals with our largest shareowners as part of our shareowner outreach program in the years when this proposal was raised. The overwhelming majority of those shareowners shared their belief that the right to act by written consent is not warranted where shareowners already have the right to call a special meeting. Since we lowered the threshold for calling a special meeting in 2018 (from 20% to 15%), support for our position has only increased, both in conversations with our largest shareowners and in our annual meeting voting results.

LOGO

Action by written consent is a less democratic means for shareowners to express their views.

Shareowner meetings are a more democratic way for shareowners to express their views on important financial, governance, or strategic questions related to Honeywell. In a shareowner meeting—whether a regular, annual meeting, or a special meeting called by shareowners holding 15% or more of our shares—voting occurs on a specified date that is publicly announced well in advance of the meeting. All interested parties have an opportunity to express their views and solicit proxies from shareowners. By contrast, action by written consent does not require notice to all shareowners about a proposed action nor does it permit differing views on a particular action or issue to be fully aired and debated. The Board does not believe that it is appropriate for some shareowners to take action affecting all shareowners without first informing all shareowners of the proposed action and allowing all shareowners to voice their views and vote on the proposed action.

LOGO

In an unsolicited change in control scenario, action by written consent can undermine the Board’s ability to obtain the highest value for existing shareowners.

The prohibition against shareowner action by written consent also encourages a party making an unsolicited takeover bid to negotiate with the Board to reach terms that are fair and in the best interests of all shareowners. The Board is best-positioned to weigh the merits of takeover offers, negotiate on behalf of all shareowners, and protect shareowners from abusive takeover tactics. The ability of shareowners to approve the sale of the company via written consent could result in shareowners receiving less value than they might otherwise receive as the Board may not have an opportunity to assess proposed actions or seek higher-value alternatives. Activist shareowners could also use a written consent solicitation to remove and replace directors and effectively assume control without having to pay a control premium to shareowners.

LOGO

The right to act by written consent is unnecessary given related Honeywell corporate governance best practices that are already in place.

The shareowner’s proposal should be evaluated in the context of our world-class governance practices that empower and protect the interests of our shareowners, such as:


PROPOSAL 4: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL— SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING IMPROVEMENT
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Honeywell Board recommends that shareowners vote AGAINSTthis proposal for the following reasons:
image_487a.jpgShareowners holding 15% of our outstanding shares already have the right to call a special meeting (either in-person or in a virtual format) at any time.
The Board believes that the current 15% threshold strikes an appropriate balance between enhancing shareowner rights while not providing a mechanism for individual shareowners to pursue special interests that are not in the best interests of the Company and its shareowners in general. The proposed threshold is also consistent with the proposition that special meetings should be limited to extraordinary matters and/or significant strategic concerns that require attention prior to the next annual meeting.
image_487a.jpgOur robust shareowner outreach and engagement program provides shareowners with numerous avenues to voice their opinions and encourage Board accountability and responsiveness to shareowner feedback.
The Company’s strong corporate governance practices include a robust shareowner engagement program. Company leaders meet regularly with shareowners to discuss matters of importance to each shareowner, including strategy, operational performance, environmental, social, and governance matters, particularly diversity, equity and inclusion and human capital matters, and business practices. The Company also meets with shareowners throughout the year to share perspectives on corporate governance, executive compensation, and related matters. For additional information about the Company’s shareowner engagement program and actions it has taken in response to these discussions, please see “Corporate Governance--Shareowner Outreach and Engagement” above.
image_487a.jpgIn an unsolicited change in control scenario, the ability for a small minority of shareowners to call a special meeting can undermine the Board’s ability to obtain the highest value for existing shareowners.
The power to call a special meeting has historically been a tool for acquirors in the hostile merger and acquisition context. By maintaining our current ownership threshold for calling a special meeting at 15%, we are better able to ensure that a special meeting is called only when supported by a significant number of our shareowners. The 15% threshold also encourages a party making an unsolicited takeover bid to negotiate with the Board to reach terms that are fair and in the best interests of all shareowners. The Board is best-positioned to weigh the merits of takeover offers, negotiate on behalf of all shareowners, and protect shareowners from abusive takeover tactics.
image_487a.jpgA reduction in shareowner ownership threshold to call a special meeting is unnecessary given related Honeywell corporate governance best practices that are already in place.
The shareowner’s proposal should be evaluated in the context of our world-class governance practices that empower and protect the interests of our shareowners, such as:
15% threshold for shareowners’ right to call a special meeting of shareowners (reduced from 20% in 2018 in response to shareowner sentiment).

The adoption of a proxy access By-laws amendment (instituted in 2015 in response to shareowner sentiment).

The ability of shareowners to submit live proposals for presentation at an annual meeting.

The establishment of an independent Lead Director role and designation of the Lead Director as a point of contact for shareowner communications (instituted in 2014 in response to shareowner feedback). See “Communicating With the Board” on page 96.

111.

The annualAnnual election of directors and majority voting in uncontested director elections.

The authority of the Lead Director and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee to call special meetings of the Board at any time for any reason.

The elimination of supermajority voting provisions in our charter documents.

Shareowner approval of poison pills.

Robust shareowner outreach and engagement practices. See “Shareowner Outreach and Engagement” beginning on page 19 for a description of our shareowner engagement activities.

Virtual annual meeting format that allows shareowner proponents the opportunity to present their proposal live via audio during the meeting and for shareowners to submit questions before and during the meeting.

Given the actions that Honeywell has taken to protect shareowner value, increase shareowner rights, and ensure director accountability, the Board believes that adoption of the above proposal would not add significant value to the Company’s performance or to shareowners’ interests. It would, instead, have a detrimental effect by providing the means for short-term or individual shareowners to act in their own self-interest by advocating proposals that neither enhance shareowner value nor advance the interests of shareowners as a whole.

PROPOSAL 5: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—CLIMATE LOBBYING REPORT
The following proposal was submitted for inclusion in this Proxy Statement by Proxy Impact on behalf of the Lisette Cooper 2015 Trust (the beneficial owner of 26 shares of common stock). We will provide the proponent’s address promptly upon a shareowner’s oral or written request. If Proxy Impact, or a representative who is qualified under state law, properly presents such proposal for a vote, then the proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with rules of the SEC, other than minor formatting changes, we are reprinting Proxy Impact’s proposal and supporting statement as it was submitted to us and we take no responsibility for its content:
Honeywell International Inc. - 2022
Climate Lobbying Report
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors conduct an evaluation and issue a report (at reasonable cost, omitting proprietary information) describing if, and how, Honeywell’s lobbying activities (direct and through trade associations and other organizations) align with the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit average global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (ideally 1.5 degrees Celsius) and how Honeywell plans to mitigate risks presented by any misalignment.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
Scientists assert that greenhouse gas emissions must decline by 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. If that goal isn’t met, emissions will need substantial reductions thereafter, at a higher financial cost, to compensate for the slow start on the path to global net zero emissions.i
The United Nations Environment Programme reports that critical gaps remain between government commitments and the actions required to prevent the worst effects of climate change.ii Companies have an important and constructive role to play in enabling policymakers to close these gaps.
Corporate lobbying that is inconsistent with the Paris Agreement presents increasingly material risks to investors, including systemic risks to our financial systems, as delays in emissions reductions increase the compounding physical risks of climate change, threaten economic stability, and heighten uncertainty and volatility in investment portfolios.iii
Of particular concern are trade associations and other politically active organizations that speak for business but too often present forceful obstacles to progress in addressing the climate crisis. Some companies use such organizations to launch public relations campaigns to hamper emissions reduction progress.
As investors, we view fulfillment of the Paris Agreement’s goal as an imperative to discharging our fiduciary duties; we are convinced that unabated climate change will have a devastating impact on political stability and infrastructure, impair access to finance and insurance, exacerbate health risks and costs, and therefore significantly impact the value of our investments.
Honeywell’s 10K recognizes the physical and transition risks associated with climate change as a material risk. The company has publicly affirmed the science of climate change and has made statements supporting the need for ambitious climate policies, and claims a commitment to being carbon neutral by 2035.
Yet Honeywell has not disclosed its support for the Paris Climate Agreement and it belongs to several organizations that have lobbied against Paris-aligned climate policy. The company is a member of major trade associations with track records of opposing science-based climate policies. Honeywell is a member of, and its executives sit on the boards of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufactures and the National Association of Manufacturers. It is also a member of the Business Roundtable. Honeywell has not disclosed any efforts to assess these associations against science-based policy principles or to engage these associations to evolve their positions to align with climate science.
Thus, we urge the Board and management to assess Honeywell's climate related lobbying and report to shareholders.

PROPOSAL 5: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—CLIMATE LOBBYING REPORT
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Honeywell Board recommends that shareowners vote AGAINSTthis proposal for the following reasons:
image_487a.jpgHoneywell has conducted an evaluation of its lobbying activities for alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and has published a report that addresses the topics requested in the proposed resolution.
Following receipt of the shareowner proposal and subsequent meetings with the proponent, Honeywell conducted an evaluation of our lobbying activities and the public statements of trade associations that receive membership dues of $50,000 or more from Honeywell (“Honeywell Trade Associations”) to assess alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Having completed the evaluation, the Company is pleased to respond that we have already issued a report that describes Honeywell’s climate-related lobbying activities and assesses alignment of the Honeywell Trade Associations’ climate-related public statements with Paris Agreement goals. The report, titled “Climate-Related Lobbying Report,” is available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information”).
As discussed in the Climate-Related Lobbying Report, we worked with an outside firm to evaluate the climate-related public statements made by Honeywell Trade Associations that hold an active position on climate change, and we did not identify any material misalignment with Honeywell’s climate-related objectives or the goals of the Paris Agreement.
image_487a.jpgHoneywell further enhanced our political disbursements governance framework to enable go-forward monitoring of how political spending aligns with Honeywell’s sustainability objectives.
To ensure that we continue to monitor alignment of political spending with our sustainability objectives, Honeywell adopted additional enhancements to our governance processes by expanding the mandate of the bipartisan Political Contributions Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board). Comprised of leaders representing a cross-section of businesses, functions, and political views, the Advisory Board was established in 2020 to ensure alignment of HIPAC campaign finance disbursements with Honeywell’s Foundational Principles – Integrity and Ethics, Inclusion and Diversity, and Workplace Respect. Advisory Board decisions are informed by third-party due diligence reports identifying statements or activities that present potential misalignment, and notable Advisory Board decisions are reported to the Company’s Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee.
This year, Honeywell expanded the Advisory Board’s mandate to include review of (i) use of corporate funds for political contributions (in addition to HIPAC disbursements), (ii) memberships in third party organizations, like trade associations, and (iii) alignment of proposed disbursements with Honeywell’s sustainability goals.
image_487a.jpgHoneywell is considered a trendsetter in providing transparency into our political contributions and lobbying activities, and we have continued to enhance the breadth and depth of our disclosures to be responsive to our stakeholders.
The Center for Political Accountability (CPA) identifies Honeywell as a “Trendsetter in its CPA-Zicklin Index of Corporate Political Disclosure and Accountability. The CPA is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that measures and rates the transparency, policies, and practices of the S&P 500 with regard to political disclosure and accountability. Our score in 2021 puts us in the top 5% of the S&P 500 companies assessed by CPA in its report. This recognition is consistent with Honeywell’s track record of enhancing our disclosures to be responsive to our shareowners’ need for sufficient information to assess whether Honeywell’s participation in the political process poses investment risk. Our disclosure, including our recently published Climate-Related Lobbying Report, is available on our website at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information).

PROPOSAL 6: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL DUE DILIGENCE
The following proposal was submitted for inclusion in this Proxy Statement by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany (the beneficial owner of 20 shares of common stock). We will provide the proponent’s address promptly upon a shareowner’s oral or written request. If the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, or a representative who is qualified under state law, properly presents such proposal for a vote, then the proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with rules of the SEC, other than minor formatting changes, we are reprinting the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany’s proposal and supporting statement as it was submitted to us and we take no responsibility for its content:
Environmental and Social Due Diligence
Resolved: Shareholders request the Board of Directors report on the company’s due diligence process to identify and address environmental and social risks related to emissions, spills, or discharges from Honeywell’s operations and value chain. The report should:
Explain the types and extent of stakeholder consultation; and
Address Honeywell’s plans to track effectiveness of measures to assess, prevent, mitigate, and remedy adverse impacts on the environment and human health
Whereas: Honeywell’s operations are linked to significant pollution incidents, including PCB contamination, violation of air quality standards, and liability for numerous EPA Superfund Sites.1 Failure to adequately assess and mitigate environmental and social impacts from company operations often results in litigation, project delays, and significant fines. For instance, Honeywell has reportedly incurred over $261 million in fines since 2000, over half of which are related to environmental penalties.2 The company is also ranked in the top 10 companies responsible for water pollution globally, according to a 2020 report.3 Honeywell lists material environmental liabilities as an operational risk and anticipates future environmental lawsuits, claims, and costs.4
This “cost of doing business” for the company has disparate and significant costs for community members, public health, and the environment.5 In 2020, New Jersey filed a lawsuit against Honeywell for allegedly knowingly polluting water and soil with cancer-causing PCBs.6 In 2019, Honeywell reached settlements to pay up to $16.2 million in South Carolina and $4 million in Georgia for PCB contamination as well.7 In June 2021, Honeywell and two other companies agreed to pay over $65 million for allegedly contaminating drinking water in New York with PFAS, a long lasting chemical associated with developmental and reproductive issues, cancer, and immunological effects.8 The company is also facing lawsuits over endangering residents with hazardous waste contamination from its Illinois uranium facility and for soil and groundwater contamination at the Gary/Chicago International Airport.9
Fenceline communities have criticized Honeywell for lack of effective community consultation surrounding pollution incidents, and for insufficient cleanup.10 A legacy Honeywell pollution coke smoke stack in Tonawanda, NY is linked to decades of health impacts, including elevated cancer risks, cardiopulmonary disease, and birth defects.11 Community members allege they have not been adequately consulted in cleanup efforts, and Honeywell is lobbying to reclassify the site, which may result in less comprehensive remediations.12
Failure to adequately address environmental and social risks poses material legal and regulatory risks to the company and its shareholders. Honeywell reserved $660 million for environmental liabilities in 2020 but is unable to reasonably estimate future potential costs for environmental liabilities.13 Honeywell does not disclose any detailed information on its processes for community consultation beyond philanthropy initiatives. Investors lack sufficient disclosure on how Honeywell’s Environmental and Social initiatives and other due diligence processes identify and address environmental and social risks associated with its pollution.

PROPOSAL 6: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL DUE DILIGENCE
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Honeywell Board recommends that shareowners vote AGAINSTthis proposal for the following reasons:
image_487a.jpgHoneywell has published a report that addresses the topics requested in the proposed resolution.
Honeywell is pleased to respond that we have augmented our public disclosures to provide additional detail regarding long-standing processes for identifying and addressing environmental and social risks related to our operations and our legacy responsibilities. This report, titled “Processes to Identify and Address Environmental and Social Risk,” is available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information”) (the “Report”) and supplements the information already available on our website, including our Sustainable Opportunity Policy, our Health, Safety, Environmental, Product Stewardship, and Sustainability Management Systems Manual, our Corporate Citizenship Report, and our Brownfields Report.
We believe that responsible citizenship requires robust processes to identify and mitigate the potential environmental and social impacts of our current operations. It also requires proactive processes for identifying and addressing legacy contamination at our former sites with a view toward ensuring that any potential environmental issues are addressed and creating new assets aligned with community priorities. Our well-established due diligence processes for identifying and addressing risk on both fronts are detailed in the Report. We believe that the Report covers each of the elements requested in the shareholder resolution.
image_487a.jpgHoneywell maintains a world-class health, safety, and environmental program to identify and address the environmental and social impact of our operations on the surrounding communities and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Our Health, Safety, Environmental, Product Stewardship and Sustainability Management practices (HSEMS) are managed by a global team of more than 800 trained professionals with extensive knowledge and hundreds of years of collective experience. We apply third-party-certified standards, including ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, and industry best practices, which are fully integrated into our operating system. Each of our facilities operates under a Plan-Do-Check-Act management system for identifying and addressing the potential environmental and social impacts of our operations and ensures compliance with regulatory standards:
Plan. 360 degree assessment of all aspects of the operation that could result in environmental or social harm. The assessment requires engagement with internal and external stakeholders, including employees and community members.
Do. Implement training, internal and external communication, actions, operational controls, emergency preparedness, and response planning to ensure that the facility and its stakeholders have the competency needed to address impacts and ensure compliance.
Check. Conduct self-assessments, audits, and management reviews to evaluate activities taken to plan for and control potential environmental or social harm.
Act. Requirement to address all findings by developing and tracking corrective actions and regularly review the HSEMS program for potential improvements.
Details requested in the proposed resolution about how we identify and address environmental and social risks, including the types and extent of stakeholder consultation and our plans for tracking effectiveness of measures to assess, prevent, mitigate, and remedy adverse impacts on the environment and human health, are available in the Report.
image_487a.jpgOf the matters explicitly cited in the proponent’s supporting statement, all but one stem from legacy operations unrelated to Honeywell’s current business; Honeywell has proactively worked to identify legacy properties where restoration may be required and engages with local governments and the surrounding communities to responsibly address these matters.
With a legacy that dates back to the 19th century and roots in the chemical industry, we have environmental remediation obligations arising out of past operations, mostly in predecessor businesses or in operations that Honeywell closed years ago. Honeywell has proactively worked to identify these legacy properties, and we are responsibly addressing the issues we found. Honeywell’s proactive measures to restore these properties has been widely praised, and is not a reflection on current operations. Where practicable, we seek to transform those properties into new community assets. The Report available at investor.honeywell.com (see “ESG/ESG Information”) includes details about the sites referenced in the shareowner proposal.
Honeywell has spent more than $4 billion over the last 18 years to remediate and restore legacy sites to productive community use. Using cutting-edge science, design, and engineering to protect human health and the environment, the Company works cooperatively with governments and engages with local communities and other external stakeholders to implement effective solutions. Honeywell does not consider a clean-up complete until the legacy property has been transformed into a valuable asset for the surrounding community, whenever possible. For example:
Baltimore, Maryland. Former chemical plant was remediated and has become a new downtown community, Harbor Point. Harbor Point is now home to Exelon, a leading energy provider, Morgan Stanley, and Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Syracuse, New York. Allied Chemical, Honeywell’s predecessor, operated on the shores of Onondaga Lake for about 100 years, along with multiple other industries and public operations. At one point, the lake was considered the “Most Polluted Lake” in North America. About 1,800 acres of wetlands have already been restored and preserved and about 1.1 million native plants are being planted. More than 285 wildlife species are now calling these areas home, and more than 120 unique bird species have been identified in and around Onondaga Lake.

PROPOSAL 6: SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL—ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL DUE DILIGENCE
Jersey City, New Jersey. After clean-up, this former 95-acre waste site in Jersey City was purchased in January 2019 by the City of Jersey City for Bayfront, a live-work-play development with waterfront access and 20-plus acres of open space.
Buffalo River, New York. Honeywell served as the private sector lead to restore the “functionally dead” Buffalo River through a unique public-private partnership. The river has now become an environmental, economic, and community resource. The river has re-emerged as an amenity and asset for landside redevelopment and renewal.
El Segundo, California. A former chemical and refrigerant plant has been redeveloped as two urban shopping centers. The Honeywell team went beyond the state’s remediation requirements to facilitate the planned commercial development. Within three years of manufacturing shutdown, city officials cut the ribbon on Plaza El Segundo, a Mediterranean-style shopping center with more than 50 shops and 423,000 square feet of commercial space.
Chicago, Illinois. The site was a former Celotex roofing tar and asphalt plant.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board knows of no other matters to be presented for shareowner action at the meeting. If other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card intend to vote the shares represented by them in accordance with their best judgment.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Honeywell has written policies and procedures for approval or ratification of related person transactions. Article eight of Honeywell’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a related or interested party transaction shall not be void or voidable if such transaction is duly authorized or ratified by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Consistent with SEC rules, a related or interested party transaction includes a transaction between the Company and a director, director nominee or executive officer of the Company or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or any of their respective immediate family members. Furthermore, the Honeywell Code of Business Conduct requires that each director and executive officer report to the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis any relationship or transaction that may create or appear to create a conflict between the personal interests of those individuals (or their immediate family members) and the interests of the Company. A conflict, or appearance of a conflict, might arise, for example, by accepting gifts or loans from a current or potential customer, supplier or competitor, owning a financial interest in, or serving in a business capacity with, an outside enterprise that competes with or does or wishes to do business with the Company, serving as an intermediary for the benefit of a third party in transactions involving the Company, or using confidential Company information or other corporate assets for personal profit.

If a conflict

Conflict of interest or related party transaction is of a type or a nature that falls within the scope of oversight of a particular Board committee, it istransactions are referred to that committeethe CGRC which is responsible for review.reviewing and overseeing related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis, as appropriate. The Board orCGRC and the responsible committeeBoard must review any potential conflict and determine whether any action is required. This includes whether to authorize, ratify or direct the unwinding of the relationship or transaction under consideration, as well as ensure that appropriate controls are in place to protect Honeywell and its shareowners. In making that determination, the Board or responsible committee considersand CGRC consider all relevant facts and circumstances, such as:

The benefits of the transaction to Honeywell;

The terms of the transaction and whether they are arm’s-length and in the ordinary course of the Company’s business;

The direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;

The size and expected term of the transaction; and

Other facts and circumstances that bear on the materiality of the related person transaction under applicable law and listing standards.

Each director and officer also completes and signs a questionnaire at the end of each fiscal year to confirm that there are no material relationships or related person transactions between such individuals and the Company other than those previously disclosed to Honeywell. This ensures that all material relationships and related person transactions are identified, reviewed and disclosed in accordance with applicable policies, procedures and regulations.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING
Considering ongoing COVID-19 safety concerns and our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stockpositive virtual meeting experience the last two years, the Board has chosen to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock withhold the SEC. Based on the information available to us, we believe that in 2020, and to date in 2021, all applicable Section 16(a) reports were timely filed, except one Form 4 for Grace D. Lieblein and two Form 4s for Robin L. Washington, each of which was related to deferred compensation (Phantom Shares) transactions and was filed late due to administrative errors. In 2021, Vimal Kapur late reported on Form 4 two purchases (totaling 18 shares) and one sale (2 shares) that were transacted in 2019 on his behalf by his investment managerCompany’s Annual Meeting in a managed account withoutvirtual format again this year. Last year, Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO led the meeting and used the platform to speak directly to shareowners about Honeywell’s leadership through the COVID-19 pandemic. The proponent of the one shareowner proposal had a choice between presenting his knowledgestatements live by dialing in to the meeting or approval.

providing a pre-recorded message, and shareowners also had an opportunity to submit questions both before and during the meeting. Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO answered most of the questions during the time allotted for Q&A. We responded to appropriately submitted, but unanswered, questions in writing by posting the questions and answers on our Investor Relations website after the meeting. In comparison to typical in-person meetings, the Company believes the virtual format enables more meaningful engagement and a greater level of information sharing with a broader group of shareowners. See “Participation in the Annual Meeting” below for additional information regarding attending our virtual Annual Meeting.

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash expenditures for property, plant, and equipment.

equipment plus cash receipts from Garrett.

We believe that thisfree cash flow is a non-GAAP metric that is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

These costs include incurred amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized during the fourth quarter when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’ long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue.

APPENDIX A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We believe that free cash flow is a non-GAAP metric that is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

(2)For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the adjustment was $7 million net of tax due to a non-cash charge associated with a further reduction in value of reimbursement receivables following Garrett's emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the adjustment was $427 million net of tax due to the non-cash charges associated with the reduction in value of reimbursement receivables due from Garrett, net of proceeds from settlement of related hedging transactions.

(1)Included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
(2)Includes repositioning, asbestos, environmental expenses, equity income adjustment, and other charges. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, other charges include $105 million of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic) related to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions segment. These costs include incurred amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized during the fourth quarter when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’ long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These certain costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supplier delays and the resulting downstream installation issues, demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor disputes.
(3)Included in Cost of products and services sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses, and Other income/expense.
(4)Included in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses.
We define segment profit as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, and repositioning and other charges. We define incremental margin as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative tosegment profit divided by the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation, and acquisitions,year-over-year change in net of divestitures.sales. We believe this measure isthese measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
