Deciding actions based on consequences is consequentialism, not utilitarianism. You can just as easily have an ethical system that says an action is moral if if furthers the interest of the race, or if it saves the planet, or if it furthers your self interest, or whatever. Utilitarianism is simply a form of consequentialism which can be (kinda sorta) reduced to "an action is ethical if it maximizes society's global utility function." Well, except for rule utilitarianism, which on one level is anti-consequentialist (though on other levels it's still deeply consequentialist).
