At UTC the company decides that the community care and outreach programmes that it carries out need to feature a combination of responsive actions for the needs of community whilst delivering on their sustainability commitment at the same time.

The company recognises the importance of a sustainable future, which it believes should be held in trust by the people of today for the next generation. It believes that knowledge and science are the best ways sustainable futures can be developed. Thus, to help students form good habits that promote sustainability and inspire them to explore the fields of STEM, the company developed a community outreach programme, Green Shoots, in partnership with local schools. STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. STEM education is active and focuses on a student-centred learning environment. Students engage in questioning, problem solving, collaboration, and hands-on activities while they address real life issues. In STEM education, employee volunteers function as classroom facilitators. They guide students through the problem-solving process and plan projects that lead to mastery of content and STEM proficiency.
