While Pratt & Whitney is focused on enabling sustainable aviation by developing more efficient propulsion technology, the company is also committed to continually reducing the environmental footprint of its own operations and facilities through greener business practices.
Pratt & Whitney 2025 Environment, Health & Safety Goals
Greener business improvements include energy efficiency upgrades, expanding the renewable energy portfolio, and minimizing landfill waste and water usage. Since 2006, Pratt & Whitney has reduced annual greenhouse gas emission reductions significantly and has increased waste recycling while reducing annual water consumption by double-digit percentages.
As part of Raytheon Technologies, Pratt & Whitney sets regular Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) goals, including targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste.

Industry 4.0 at Pratt & Whitney Factories
Pratt & Whitney has launched a dedicated effort across the company’s worldwide manufacturing footprint to modernize and transform its operations, supporting the overall Raytheon Technologies Industry 4.0 strategy investments - including connected factory, automation and enhanced process control. We have improved the overall effectiveness of our manufacturing footprint.
Our facilities repeatedly set new workplace EH&S performance benchmarks. This is a clear demonstration of how responsible management practices provide value to our operations, employees, customers, shareowners, and the communities we impact. And since we are after global and local impact, program governance begins at the local site level and flows upward to the top.
Exemplifying Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Principles
State-of-the-art facility, best-in-class manufacturing technologies and processes.
Supporting Our Environment, People and Communities
To become the best aerospace company FOR the world means taking care of the environment but also the people and communities who live in it. We are proud to implement key social initiatives into our program and aim to leverage our position in the industry for a good cause.
Supporting Environmental STEM (E-STEM) Education
When you take STEM skills into an environmental context (E-STEM), great things happen. Pratt & Whitney’s sustainable aviation solutions use science, technology, engineering and mathematics to power cleaner flight. We want to help inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to use E-STEM skills to solve the problems our planet faces. That’s why we partnered with the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) to roll out the Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards– a global initiative that funds nonprofits engaged in E-STEM education.
