A 2008 recipient of a Star of EE Award, UTC began measuring and reporting its environmental impact fifteen years ago – long before voluntary environmental reporting was common. In the past 10 years, UTC reduced its own energy use by 20 percent while the company more than doubled in revenues. UTC is now well on its way to achieving its next goal of reducing, by 2010, greenhouse gas emissions by 12 percent and water use by 10 percent. Another target is to invest $100 million from 2007 to 2010 in energy conservation projects, including co-generation systems.
