24 United Technologies Corporation
More progress.
At UTC, corporate responsibility combines financial performance with commitments to employees, the environment and communities. We don’t choose between these priorities and have robust
metrics in place to measure performance. UTC has more than 16,000 employees in China, so when the earthquake hit China’s Sichuan province in May, UTC along with our employees donated
$1.5 million in cash and in-kind goods and services to support victims. Through our relationship with Conservation International, we also are supporting reforestation of damaged land in
Xiaozhaizigou Nature Reserve in this province. This is just one example of UTC’s commitment to communities around the world where our employees live and work. UTC’s innovations make
modern life possible while using energy more efficiently. Our products are diverse, but they all convert energy into useful work, from air conditioners and elevators to jet engines and helicopters.
Our PureCycle geothermal power system uses hot water, a clean, renewable energy resource, to provide constant power.
