Public/Private Partnerships
Lockheed Martin tracks ESH progress and effectiveness using comprehensive performance indicators. In addition to tracking performance data on the company, business area and corporate level, Lockheed Martin participates in industry and government programs that establish standards for ESH excellence. These include: • ISO 14001 Certification. Thirty-five Lockheed Martin facilities have earned ISO 14001 certification, which documents and verifies the facilities’ adherence to ESH management system excellence. ISO 14001 certification also is a discriminator for international work. • Climate Leaders. As a charter member of the Climate Leaders program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Lockheed Martin pledged to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent per dollar revenue from 2001 to 2010. In 2008, the Corporation took an additional positive step toward achieving this goal – reporting a more than 3 percent absolute reduction in carbon emissions. • Occupational Safety and Health Administration Voluntary Protection Program. Eight Lockheed Martin facilities have achieved OSHA VPP certification, which provides external recognition of superior safety and health programs. The sites are: Maritime Systems & Sensors – Manassas, Va. Maritime Systems & Sensors – Moorestown, N.J. Maritime Systems & Sensors – Syracuse, N.Y. Maritime Systems & Sensors – Clearwater, FL Aeronautics Company – Palmdale, Calif. Systems Integration – Owego, N.Y. Missiles and Fire Control-Archbald, Pa. Simulation, Training & Support – Orlando, Fla.
• State and local programs. In addition to participating in national and international programs, many Lockheed Martin sites are involved with state and local ESH initiatives that address regionally specific concerns and challenges. For example: - Aeronautics in Fort Worth, Texas, partners with Texas OSHA,
- Aeronautics in Palmdale, Calif., partners with Cal/EPA,
- Space Systems in Denver, Colo., participates in the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program, and
- Maritime Systems & Sensors in Manassas, Va., participates in the Virginia Environmental Excellence Program.
Through these initiatives and more, Lockheed Martin demonstrates its commitment to ESH excellence and to being a good neighbor in the communities where it operates.
