| 15 2012 ANNUAL REPORT
UTC has a successful history of implementing
water conservation efforts, reducing water
use by 32 percent since 2006, with a goal
of achieving a 40 percent reduction by 2015.
In Singapore, Pratt & Whitney Commercial
Engines modified onsite plumbing at three
facilities as part of its voluntary participation
in NEWater — a water recycling and reuse
program developed by Singapore’s Public
Utilities Board. This innovative partnership
accomplishes the goals of resource conserva-
tion and economic growth, and has resulted
in decreasing water discharges by approxi-
mately 15 million gallons per year. In Windsor
Locks, Conn., UTC Aerospace Systems
employees designed and installed a waste-
water reuse and recycling system that is
applied across multiple manufacturing proc-
esses and has reduced freshwater intake by
12 million gallons a year. Extending beyond our
operations, UTC collaborates with ONE DROP,
a nongovernmental organization, to support a
multiyear project in Orissa, India, to bring safe
drinking water to more than 100 villages.
“ All of us with Chengdu
Aerotech Manufacturing
are working hard to
make this facility the
world-class center of
excellence for Pratt &
Whitney in the region.
We believe the highest
standards of ethics
and business conduct
are fundamental to
our success.”
“It is very important
that we operate
our business in an
ethical manner. Being
responsible for ensuring
this is very rewarding.
I appreciate the trust
and accountability
the organization has
placed upon me as
an individual.”
“ Because BPOs
operate at a peer
level rather than as a
corporate overseer, we
are able to have a real
impact in helping all
employees determine
the appropriate action
or behavior in the
varied situations
they encounter.”

“I have three principal
priorities: to protect
the company’s
reputation by making
sure we have a high
ethical culture; to
ensure we are in
legal compliance in
everything we do; and
to be a role model
and inspiration to
my colleagues.”
JOSE HERRERA

“It is important to lead
by example and be
a role model. BPOs
assist and guide
employees in making
sure that we succeed
as an organization by
doing business the
right way.”

Discipline and focus guide our efforts to continuously improve our
EH&S performance. Across UTC we apply a global standard aimed
at eliminating adverse impacts in our products, our manufacturing
processes and our supply chain. This produces meaningful benefits
for our employees and our customers in the communities and markets
where we operate. With the Goodrich integration in 2012, this uniform
approach was introduced to thousands of new employees at more
than 100 additional manufacturing locations.
