Enabling men and women to connect and thrive in a bigger, faster, smarter world.
As the world leader in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of elevators, escalators and horizontal transportation systems, Otis maintains the largest installed base in its sector (over 2 million) and supports the daily movements of 2.4 billion people worldwide.
We are present everywhere, from iconic sites to essential daily traffic areas, from transport hubs to shopping malls to apartment blocks - wherever people are on the move.
Otis teams work hard every day to develop sustainable solutions that reduce the environmental impact of our products, services and operations.
Responding to urban & environmental challenges, building for the future and improving the daily lives of millions of people are all part of the OTIS DNA.
Otis teams are committed to developing ever greener solutions with a view to reducing the overall environmental footprint.
As part of its "sustainable builder" approach, Otis worked on an elevator reuse solution for a tower project at La Défense, reusing existing guides. A saving of 1,760 tonnes of CO2 equivalent is estimated for the entire project.
This process of reusing components significantly reduces the overall carbon footprint.
Our ambition is to improve the energy efficiency of all our operations and products, in order to support our customers in the long term.

Our Gen2 technology, standard on all our equipment, is renowned for its low energy consumption.
As an example, our ReGen™ Drive current regeneration system, increases the efficiency of our elevators and reduces their consumption by up to 75%* by recovering the energy produced during braking phases (*compared to conventional elevators equipped with a non-regenerative drive system). The ReGen™ Drive regenerates the energy produced by the elevator and returns it to the building's internal power grid, energy that can be made available to other systems such as lighting.
Our motor offers optimum energy efficiency, with virtually no energy loss.
The polyurethane-coated steel flat belts developed by Otis offer optimum adhesion to the pulley. They last twice as long as a conventional steel cord and require no lubrication (no grease or oil).
Our Pulse™ system monitors the condition of the belts' steel strands 24/7 for enhanced safety.
Balancing belt tension contributes to vibration-free traction and optimizes
energy consumption. This continuous monitoring system also reduces the need for on-site technician visits.
All our lifts are Class A energy-efficient. Our elevators are among the most energy-efficient on the market.
