The company's principal goods and services are aerospace and defense products, which do not have a direct positive or negative health impact as defined by the rubric. Several other health-related KPIs are not applicable to the company's business model.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Raytheon Technologies (RTX) is an aerospace and defense company, not a financial institution that lends, insures, moves, or stores money for consumers. The company does not offer consumer-facing financial products, APRs, or fee structures. Therefore, the KPIs related to consumer financial services, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives (loan/insurance book), data accessibility (customer finance data), fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes for customers, financial literacy initiatives for customers, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (banking deserts), and product simplicity for financial products, are not applicable to its core business model. While RTX engages in corporate giving

, employee programs, and supplier diversity , these activities do not fall under the scope of consumer financial services as defined by the rubric's KPIs.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

RTX has faced four substantiated labor-law or human-rights violations in the past three years (2021-2023).

These include an EEOC finding of age discrimination and discriminatory advertisements against Raytheon in 2021 , a $59,000,000 benefit plan administrator violation against Raytheon Co. in 2021 , an employment discrimination finding against subsidiary Rosemount Aerospace Inc. in 2023 resulting in a $712,500 settlement , and a $640,000 employment discrimination private lawsuit settlement against Raytheon Co. in 2023. A class action lawsuit alleging age discrimination was filed in 2026 , with a second EEOC charge from July 2023 still under investigation.

The Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for workplace safety was 0.30 in 2023 , with zero work-related fatalities. The employee engagement score was 72 out of 100 in 2023 , and voluntary employee turnover was 5% in the same year.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Raytheon Technologies directed 28% of its supplier spend in the United States to small and diverse businesses in 2020, amounting to $6.8 billion

and supporting 59,000 jobs. The company reported no incidents of modern slavery, including forced or child labor, during the reporting period and condemns such practices across its operations, conducting proactive risk assessments and risk-based due diligence on conflict minerals. However, Raytheon Technologies explicitly states that it does not conduct site visits or audits specifically for the purpose of verifying the eradication of slavery and human trafficking in its supply chains, although periodic site visits may occur for other business reasons.

Honest & Fair Business

RTX incurred over $1.145 billion in ethics-related fines and settlements in 2024.

This includes a $252 million criminal penalty, a $52.5 million civil penalty, and a $66 million forfeiture for bribing a Qatari official between 2012 and 2016. The company also paid a $146.7 million criminal penalty and a $428 million civil settlement for defrauding the U.S. Department of Defense by overcharging for Patriot missile systems and radar operations between 2012 and 2018.

All employees receive annual ethics and compliance training.

Kind to Animals

The provided articles for RTX.US, an aerospace and defense company, do not contain specific, concrete data points or measurable outcomes relevant to any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs. Information regarding cruelty-free certifications, animal testing, humane certifications for operations, wildlife conservation impact with specific metrics, ethical input substitution, supplier audits for welfare, cage-free sourcing, animal agriculture ethics, or innovation investment in animal-free technologies is absent. While some articles mention general environmental initiatives like GHG reduction, zero waste certification, and mercury reduction, these do not provide the measurable biodiversity impact, species recovery, or habitat restoration metrics required by the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI. In 2009, Raytheon Technologies was acknowledged by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for significantly reducing mercury use by 46%.

This elimination amounted to roughly 8.41 pounds of mercury, equivalent to the mercury in 400 household thermometers. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the provided evidence.

No War, No Weapons

RTX derived approximately 71% of its total revenue from its defense segment in 2023, which included $38.6 billion from U.S. defense contracts

and $9.7 billion from international defense contracts . The company agreed in August 2024 to pay a $200 million fine for unauthorized exports of defense technology to countries such as China, Russia, and Iran, violating the Arms Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations . In October 2024, RTX also settled allegations of bribing a Qatari official to secure weapons sales and defrauding the U.S. Department of Defense by overcharging for Patriot missile systems and radar operations between 2012 and 2018, agreeing to pay over $950 million .

Planet-Friendly Business

Water use intensity was approximately 78.7 m³ per $1 million revenue in 2024.

RTX has a 2030 greenhouse gas goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46% from 2019 levels, aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, and met its 2025 interim target early with a 21% reduction by 2024. In 2024, 76% of total waste was diverted from landfill and incineration. The company sourced 14% of its total electricity from renewable sources in 2024. RTX tracks and discloses performance against Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) standards, indicating partial alignment, and uses climate-related scenario analysis to inform its strategy.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Cultural Awareness Training is planned for employees in Australia. The company has committed $500 million over 10 years to corporate responsibility initiatives and $25 million over five years to support racial justice and marginalized communities.

Safe & Smart Tech

RTX faced an $8.4 million settlement in March 2025 for failing to implement required cybersecurity controls and lacking a security plan on an internal development system used for Department of Defense contracts between 2015 and 2021.

This prolonged failure indicates severe issues in vulnerability management and resulted in a regulatory penalty. Additionally, in September 2025, the company experienced a ransomware attack on its Multi-User System Environment (MUSE) passenger processing software, causing flight delays and cancellations, though no material financial impact or data theft was reported. Conversely, RTX demonstrates strengths in other areas. Its AI ethics and audit practices are supported by integrating DeepProve technology for verifiable proofs of AI model integrity and authorized code execution, and it has developed AI tools to detect bias in military analysis. The company maintains a strong data privacy program, aligned with NIST standards, GDPR, and U.S. state laws, and its cyber program is externally validated. A vulnerability disclosure program exists for external stakeholders, and annual cybersecurity and data privacy training is provided to all employees and contractors. No incidents of unauthorized data use by the company have been documented.
