Human Rights

At Lockheed Martin, we believe being a responsible corporate citizen includes a commitment to the protection and advancement of human rights. The broad scope of our company’s policies and procedures reflects the multiple touchpoints with recognized human rights principles that guide our behaviors and operations.

We are evolving our human rights approach to be more holistic as we tackle ever-changing risks and challenges. A newly established cross-functional Human Rights Focus Group, consisting of members from Ethics, Legal, Human Resources, Supply Chain and Sustainability, examines strategies for evolution of our human rights policy and impact assessment. This work is overseen by our Vice President of Ethics and Business Conduct. Governance of our human rights program follows the top-down accountability structure as further described in our 2026 Proxy Report.

Continuing Human Rights Commitments

Our human rights due diligence processes are embedded within our comprehensive operating and decision-making practices and procedures. Mandatory employee and third-party consultant training, across a wide range of human rights topics, is an integral component of our commitments and ongoing due diligence processes. All employees and third-party consultants regularly certify to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and complete annual ethics and compliance training; additional compliance training is assigned to target employees based on their job roles and locations. Compliance training includes Combating Trafficking in Persons, Modern Day Slavery (UK), International Business Practices, and Gifts/Business Courtesies.

Respect for human rights across our business, operations and supply chain is the responsibility of all employees, our Board of Directors, our suppliers and others who act on our behalf. Lockheed Martin’s activities are conducted in compliance with the laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, except where such laws conflict with U.S. law, and our compliance with them is reinforced by our robust integrated assurance program and Board of Directors’ oversight. U.S. Government laws, regulations and policies overlay and guide the application of our diligence processes related to international military sales and use of products sold to international customers.

Human Rights Supply Chain Risk

Based on our policies and Code of Conduct, our Supplier Code of Conduct describes the expectations that we place on our suppliers and partners to share in our commitment to supporting the human rights of all workers in our supply chain. Additionally, the Supplier Code of Conduct expects our suppliers to extend these commitments to all sub-tier suppliers they employ on our behalf.

Lockheed Martin is taking a more holistic approach to human rights risks with new capabilities to support human rights and combat human trafficking. Our efforts include working with the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) and EcoVadis to plan and create an industry human rights supplier engagement series. Lockheed Martin also developed a sector-wide sustainability assessment program that can identify supply chain vulnerabilities throughout the procurement cycle. As of 2025, the EcoVadis assessments cover 45% of our supplier spend.

These efforts build on our previous work, as we established an annual Human Trafficking Supply Chain Human Rights Assessment which overlays the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report and Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index with our internal procurement data to identify suppliers in human trafficking regions. We successfully concluded this approach with an 88% reduction of suppliers in high-risk regions over the past five years and are working on an enhanced approach in alignment with a third-party assessment following the standard for our industry.
