172011 ANNUAL REPORT
We are partnering with One Drop, a nongovernmental
organization, to bring fresh water to a region in India.
Discipline and focus guide our eorts to
continuously improve our environment,
health and safety (EH&S) performance.
Since 1996, we have improved our health
and safety performance as measured by
both total recordable incident rate and lost
workday incident rate by 88 percent and
86 percent, respectively.
As our EH&S goals evolved from compliance and
conservation to elimination of impacts from our value
chain and products, so too has our understanding
of how and where we can influence sustainability
eorts across the globe.
To support vibrant communities
where we live and work, we
focus our charitable giving
around our employees’ expertise
and their volunteer eorts.
Since 1995, we have contributed more
than $3 million to FIRST Robotics, an
international high school robotics compe-
tition that encourages the study of math
and science. In 2011, 70 UTC mentors sup-
ported more than 50 high school teams
from across 14 states. We also introduced
the UTC FIRST Robotics internship pro-
gram to continue to develop relationships
with the next generation of innovators.

A WATER TOOL
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
From 2006 to 2011, we reduced our water
consumption by 26 percent. We have
set a 2015 sustainability goal of reducing
our water consumption by 40 percent.
To help us continue to meet and
exceed our goals, we are applying the
World Business Council for Sustainable
Development’s Global Water Tool to our
operations. The tool helps us assess water-
related risks, improve decision making
and shape water-management plans.

Through a partnership with One Drop,
a nongovernmental organization, we are
supporting a three-year project in Orissa,
India, to bring safe drinking water to
100 villages. Milton Roy, a division of Hamilton
Sundstrand, is leveraging employee expertise
and its innovative line of water, wastewater
treatment and chemical metering pumps to
improve living conditions in an area where
nearly 40 percent of the population does
not have access to safe drinking water.
