About our Reporting
Transparency through reporting is key to accountability
Sustainability reporting at Leidos chronicles our progress toward improving the company’s ESG programs and performance. We publish an annual Sustainability Report to share our efforts to cultivate inclusion, advance environmental sustainability, and promote healthier lives. We also highlight ethics, governance, trust, and other related program areas that form the bedrock of our philosophy for corporate responsibility and governance.
Leidos reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Industry (GRI)TM Standards and the “Software & IT Services” industry standards from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework.
The Leidos GHG emissions inventory is prepared in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, verified by a 3rd party and reported to CDP, whose scoring we use as a benchmark. Through our CDP reporting, we align with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations in a way that's both consistent and relevant to the global economy, making the information accessible and comparable. Our ESG data are integrated into one index to provide a comprehensive view of our corporate performance. The Leidos Annual Sustainability report also aligns with and references our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our 2023 Proxy Statement.
The Leidos Annual Sustainability Report is generated by a core group of individuals representing the Leidos ESG and Sustainability functions and a network of subject matter experts (SMEs) throughout the company. Topics included in this report are deemed material to Leidos and its stakeholders. The term “material” used in this report refers to the “material topic” definition of the GRI™. Material issues refer to relevant topics that can reasonably be considered important to an organization’s economic, environmental, and social impacts or that influence the decisions of stakeholders. “Material” for the purposes of this report does not equate to any use of the word in other Leidos reporting or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
