At Lockheed Martin, we believe that being a responsible corporate citizen includes a commitment to the protection and advancement of human rights. This commitment forms the basis of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and is embedded in our core values to do what’s right, respect others and perform with excellence.
Respect for human rights across our business, operations and supply chain is the responsibility of all employees, our board of directors, our suppliers and others who act on our behalf. Lockheed Martin’s activities are conducted in compliance 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 human rights activities and enterprise risk management process. Governance of our human rights program follows the top-down accountability structure as further described in our 2025 Proxy Report.
Our human rights due diligence processes are embedded within our comprehensive operating and decision-making practices and procedures; they do not exist as a stand-alone procedure. U.S. Government laws, regulations and policies overlay and guide application of our diligence processes related to international military sales and use of products sold to international customers.
