Energy, Environment Safety & Health

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.

We also have committed through our Go Green 2020 plan to reduce carbon emissions, facility energy use, water use and waste to landfills by the year 2020 using our environmental sustainability performance from 2010 as our baseline. In this plan, we pledge to:

• Reduce carbon emissions by 35%
• Reduce facility energy use by 30%
• Reduce water use by 10%
• Reduce waste to landfills by 35%

These goals align with environmental targets set forth by our largest customer, the U.S. Department of Defense.

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.
