Make Things Better
Building Sustainable Cities
By Building a Better Tomorrow
To promote environmental responsibility
through sustainable building practices,
UTC is a founding sponsor of the U.S.
Green Building Council’s Center for Green
Schools. The center is working to transform
schools to make them more energy
efficient, less expensive to operate and
healthier places to learn and work.
Supporting Vibrant Communities
By Being Part of the Solution
To enhance the well-being of the communi-
ties in which we operate, UTC encourages
growth and vitality through positive engage-
ment. For example, UTC and its employees
volunteer with the China Library Project,
donating books and building libraries in
elementary schools across China. Within the
first year, the program reached more than
23,000 students and 1,300 teachers.
Advancing STEM Education
By Nurturing the Next Generation
To support the development of the next
generation of engineers and scientists, UTC
supports programs that advance science,
technology, engineering and mathematics
education. One of our signature partnerships
is with FIRST Robotics, a high school
robotics competition. UTC employees are
mentoring teams across North America,
including the 2012 world champions —
Team 180 from Stuart, Fla. — sponsored
by Pratt & Whitney.
