How a corporation conducts business is not only a consideration for shareholders and customers, but also for the communities in which we work and employees of all ranks at Lockheed Martin. We work hard to deliver lasting solutions for our customers, while ensuring strong returns for our shareholders.

However, we also believe we must account to a larger and broader group of stakeholders. Simply put, for Lockheed Martin, success depends on how well we recognize and fulfill our responsibilities to our employees, customers, shareholders, communities, the environment, a safe workplace and the stewardship of natural resources critical to national security.

In everything we do, we manage our business for growth and do so with an unwavering commitment to meeting the highest ethical standards in the governance of our company. Our business is built on integrity, and we will not risk compromising it. No matter the mission, our stakeholders expect this trust in every part of our business operations, wherever and whenever we serve.

We are proud of our history of responsible environmental, safety and health practices, but we also recognize opportunities to further integrate sustainability into our everyday operations. That we are focused on achieving progress doesn’t make us unique among global corporations. However, as customers and employees around the world express a growing interest in the impact of business beyond their immediate surroundings, we know providing a transparent accounting of our operations in this context is the right thing to do.

Lockheed Martin is committed to delivering superior shareholder returns while pursuing leading sustainability performance and good citizenship. Our sustainability report provides details on how Lockheed Martin delivers on this commitment.

Around the world, complex issues are changing the way we think about sustainable growth and the contributing role of individuals, businesses and communities. Environmental, economic and social concerns present increasing challenges, as well as opportunities, for companies in the global marketplace.

Natural resources, energy, land development, climate change, social issues and economic fluctuations are often closely interconnected. At Lockheed Martin, we consider these factors synergistically when developing and refining our corporate sustainability strategy.

We recently announced we achieved a set of aggressive five-year global environmental goals a year ahead of schedule.  We met or exceeded our goals of reducing water use, waste-to-landfill and carbon emissions by 25 percent each since 2007 levels.

In the area of employee safety, we have reduced recordable workplace injuries by  46% from 2003 to 2011. As we strive for continuous improvement, we place further emphasis on promoting a culture of personal responsibility, management accountability and safety in order to improve our future performance.

We are committed to facing these complex challenges head on, improving both our business performance and contributing to a more sustainable future for our employees, communities and society.
