A Foundation of Credibility

Credibility comes from consistent hard work. Through the years, we have upheld the strictest of standards when it comes to safety, health and environmental awareness, and our industry has taken notice. We are proud of our success and strive to do more in years to come.
Achievements
- In September 2011, the Carbon Disclosure Project recognized Lockheed Martin as one of 23 companies worldwide for exceptional climate change disclosure practices in the 2011 CDP Global 500 Report. We received a score of 90 for carbon disclosure practices, up from 76 in 2010, and achieved an “A” rating for carbon performance.
- As of February 2012, Lockheed Martin ranked #14 in the National Top 50 Partner rankings of the U.S. EPA Green Power Partnership for our purchase of solar and wind renewable energy resources. In 2011, we purchased through green power and renewable energy credits (RECs) the equivalent of over 274 million kilowatt-hours (KWh) worth of energy, approximately 15% of Lockheed Martin’s total energy consumption. The purchase supports the development of renewable energy capacity nationwide.
- On March 8, 2011, Lockheed Martin won the PR News Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award for the Green PR Campaign, which educated employees on our “Go Green” initiative. The 2010 “Go Green” initiative generated overwhelming participation and featured 150 employee-driven “Green Zones,” including one in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Go Green initiatives secured coverage in several local and national news outlets, including a major live segment on CNN International.
- We are instituting energy, environment, safety and health management system requirements based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. We have achieved the following safety and environmental certifications:
- 50 facilities operate to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standards, comprising over 60% of our global operating square footage.
- 12 facilities are members of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA’s) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)
- 25 facilities are operating under the NQA’s Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001
- Lockheed Martin’s Missiles and Fire Control facility in Ocala, Florida, won the Walt Driggers Environmentalist of the Year Award from the Ocala-Marion County Chamber of Commerce on February 15, 2011. Walt Driggers was a local environmentalist hero that was instrumental in restoring the health of the Rainbow River. What made our Ocala facility stand out? It launched initiatives to expand and simplify its recycling program and constructed a new chilled water plant that reduced water and energy consumption and chemical usage. This plant is estimated to save $1.8 million in utility costs over six years.
- Our Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, Calif., received the “2010 Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award” from the Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce for the company’s ongoing efforts in waste reduction, energy efficiency and water conservation. Some of their efforts include an on-campus shuttle and “grab ‘n’ go” bicycles for traversing the 400-acre campus, car and vanpooling planning, annual eco passes for the Valley Transportation Authority’s Lite Rail system, and employee incentive programs for discounts on residential “Go Green” products.
