Q
A
As United Technologies continues to grow in markets
around the world, we bring with us a belief that financial
performance and corporate responsibility go hand in hand.
As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to
minimizing the environmental impact of our products,
our operations and our supply chain. We provide a safe
work environment and support lifelong learning for all
employees. We support charitable and social causes in
the communities where we live and work.
GOVERNANCE
Governance at UTC begins with our Code of Ethics,
created in 1990 and relaunched in 2006. The code was
adopted by the UTC Board of Directors, which, as of
January 1, 2012, has 13 directors, 12 of whom are indepen-
dent. As we work to build a culture of ethics and compli-
ance, we seek candid feedback from employees. This year,
89 percent of hourly and salaried employees participated
in our Global Employee Survey. With a participation rate
that surpasses global standards, UTC’s historic areas of
strength — ethics; environment, health and safety; and
customer focus—continued an upward trend. UTC’s Code
of Ethics, which includes our policy on citizenship and
human rights, is available online.
HOW DO
YOU COMBINE
PROFITABILITY
WITH
RESPONSIBILITY?
By applying the highest standards of
performance across our company and
measuring success with the same ethical,
environmental and safety metrics
everywhere we do business.
