  • Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics Under the Supervision of R
    UVA-BRI-1001 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION: RUNNING A GLOBAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE PROGRAM In July 2003, Pat Gnazzo, vice president of Business Practices for United Technologies Corporation (UTC), sat at his desk in the company’s Hartford, Connecticut, headquarters considering the challenge of integrating 46,000 new employees into UTC’s global ethics and compliance program from the recently acquired Chubb plc, a United Kingdom-based leader in security and fire protection services. Although Gnazzo had faced many difficult issues since he had taken over business practices programs for UTC in 1995, this challenge was unique. Simultaneously integrating this volume of employees—who were situated in a variety of different cultures across the globe—would be a monumental task, especially since Chubb’s ethics and compliance priorities were not on the level of UTC’s. Gnazzo wondered where he should start. History of UTC and Business Units1 United Technologies Corporation was a $31 billion global corporation made up of seven business units and a stand-alone research center, which supported research for all divisions. The business unit divisions were Carrier Corporation (climate control systems), Hamilton Sundstrand (airplane systems), Otis Elevator, Pratt & Whitney (airplane engines), Sikorsky (helicopters), UTC Power (hydrogen fuel cells), and the recently acquired Chubb (security and fire protection services). A global conglomerate with a total of 205,700 employees after the Chubb acquisition (138,000 based outside of the United States), UTC had over 4,000 locations in approximately 62 countries and did business in more than 180 countries. In 2002, 55 percent of UTC’s total revenues came from outside the United States, and its net income was $2.2 billion with assets totaling $29.1 billion.

These statements are based on assumptions currently believed to be valid and may be “forward- looking statements” under securities laws.Various factors could materially affect actual results. These include: changes in economic or market conditions, government procurement policies and technology, or competition. For additional information about these factors, see the Corporation’s Annual Report for 2002, Form 10-K Report for 2002 and reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. “Performance and balance are why our results are consistently favorable to peers and to market averages.” Dear Shareowner: UTC turned in rock solid performance in challenging economic conditions in 2002. Earnings per share grew 15 percent to $4.42. Free cash flow, at $2.3 billion, slightly exceeded net income, our traditional and unusually high standard. We made acquisitions in the year totaling $424 million and repurchased UTC common shares for $700 million. We strengthened our pension plans with contributions totaling $753 million. With these outflows, we still ended the year with a debt-to-capital ratio unchanged from last year. We increased the dividend 9 percent, as usual at a five-quarter interval.

As a result of these misrepresentations, UTC was charged with violating federal law and paid a $55 million fine.1 1 The complaint erroneously states, multiple times, that UTC pled guilty to violating federal law.
