Go Green Program
We’ve already surpassed our goal for reducing waste sent to landfills. We have also implemented a rigorous and systematic approach to improve energy efficiency and resource conservation. Take a look for yourself.
Green Activities
Many “Green Teams” have emerged throughout the Corporation with the goal of promoting environmental awareness and employee engagement at our facilities and in the surrounding communities. Green Teams lead site-level initiatives ranging from purchasing bike racks made of recycled plastic to organizing stream cleanups and community volunteer efforts.
Lockheed Martin employees in Lufkin, Texas, participated in the Angelina County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on March 26, 2011, where they helped the community recycle or safely dispose of 18 tons of hazardous household materials, including 140 gallons of motor oil, 8,000 pounds of automobile batteries and scrap metal, 6,000 pounds of electronic waste and 5 tons of paint.
Employees from our Missiles and Fire Control business launched the Green Star Affinity Group on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. Green Star educates employees to take ownership of their environmental impact and hosts frequent discussions on helpful topics such as green tips for the home, how to conduct a home energy audit and commuter solutions. Since then, Green Star branches have popped up at various Lockheed Martin locations, helping to shape the future of the business, our employees and our communities.
