ESG Governance

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

Our Senior Vice President, Ethics and Enterprise Assurance, has oversight of all sustainability programs and serves as Lockheed Martin’s Chief Sustainability Officer. This position is a member of the Executive Leadership Team and reports directly to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and provides regular updates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Human Rights

At Lockheed Martin, we believe that respect for human rights is an essential element of being a good corporate citizen and to the long-term success of the company. Treating employees with respect, minimizing the 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 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 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 utilized by internal and/or external parties to notify and inform us of potential misconduct.

Global Diversity and Inclusion

Our global diversity and inclusion (GD&I) strategy is built into the fabric of our core values and is imperative to our success. We know Lockheed Martin’s diverse and inclusive workforce enhances our collective power and ability to recognize, value and draw upon unique perspectives and experiences to drive innovation and solve our customers’ toughest challenges. Our strategy is underpinned by policies that protect employees and exemplify the inclusive culture we strive to foster. Senior responsibility for diversity and inclusion is held by our Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer and our Vice President, Global Diversity and Inclusion. We believe accountability sets the tone at the top to advance representation, accelerate inclusive organizational capabilities and integrate D&I into business operations.

Political and Public Policy Participation

Lockheed Martin is committed to participating in the political and public policy process in a responsible and ethical way that serves the best interests of our stockholders and customers. Decisions regarding corporate political and public policy activities are managed by the Senior Vice President, Lockheed Martin Government Affairs, following coordination with individual Lockheed Martin elements in accordance with established policies and procedures, and are ultimately overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Further information on our engagement in the legislative process, political and public policy activities, including our advocacy efforts, government affairs activities, trade association activities and political spending, is available on our Political Disclosures website. In 2022, we completed an evaluation of the public policy positions of selected trade and industry associations of which we are members to assess their alignment with our sustainability policy and program, the results of which can be found in our Climate Lobbying Assessment Report .
