Governance

Sustainability Governance

The Lockheed Martin sustainability governance structure is composed of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, the Executive Leadership Team, the Risk and Compliance Committee (RCC) and the Sustainability Management Team.

Our senior vice president, Ethics and Enterprise Assurance, oversees all sustainability programs and serves as Lockheed Martin’s chief sustainability officer. This position reports directly to the chairman, president and chief executive officer and provides regular updates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

We link incentive compensation for Lockheed Martin executives to performance on certain sustainability factors, such as attracting and retaining a premier workforce, protecting data from cyber intrusion, ensuring the safety of products and services, and managing the environmental impact of our business.

Enterprise Risk Management

Management is responsible for executing the enterprise risk management (ERM) process and the day-to-day management and mitigation of risks, and the Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for Lockheed Martin’s risk oversight. Corporate executives provide the Board and its committees with reports on enterprise-wide, business area, and strategic risks. Two primary components of the ERM process are an annual strategic and operational enterprise risk assessment and a biennial compliance risk assessment. Both risk assessments complement our sustainability strategy and our evaluated through a sustainability lens to ensure a comprehensive approach to risk management. Risk owners are identified to address recommendations surfacing from both assessments. The RCC and Integrated Risk Council review the outcomes of both assessments and their accompanied recommendations for mitigation actions. Their outcomes are subsequently reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The latest compliance risk assessment took place in the first quarter of 2024.

Human Rights

At Lockheed Martin, we believe respect for human rights is an essential element of being a good corporate citizen and is integral to the long-term success of the company. Treating employees with respect, minimizing negative consequences of our business activities, and contributing to economic and social well-being are all key components of our Human Rights Policy and Principles. Lockheed Martin’s activities comply with the laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, except where such laws conflict with U.S. law, and our compliance with them is reinforced by our robust integrated assurance program and board of directors’ oversight of our enterprise risk management process. Respect for human rights in our operations and supply chain is ingrained through strong policies and training to educate employees and third parties on human rights issues and risks. Our due diligence processes are embedded within our operating and decision-making practices and procedures and are supported by formal grievance mechanisms that can be used by internal and/or external parties to notify and inform us of potential misconduct.
