GRI™ Standards Index
This report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI™ Standards: Core option.
The GRI™ Standards emphasize materiality and focused sustainability reporting on the economic, environmental, and/or social impacts of an organization. The following index lists our responses to the GRI™ Standards: Core option (general disclosures and material topic-specific disclosures) and provides links to relevant report content on Leidos.com where appropriate.
Note: For each topic-specific disclosure, disclosures on Management Approach are contained in relevant sections on Leidos.com, including how Leidos manages each material topic, any associated impacts and boundaries, and related evaluations of management approach, where applicable.
SASB Disclosure
We strive for continuous improvement, alignment with industry best practices, and leadership in corporate sustainably and responsibility. As a result, we periodically re-evaluate and update our sustainability and corporate responsibility programs and the ways in which we share our progress with stakeholders. Our GRI™ Index and SASB Standards Disclosure are integrated into one ESG index to provide a comprehensive view of our corporate performance. Where GRI supports broad and comprehensive disclosures on organizational impacts, SASB focuses on a subset of financially material issues by sector. The term “material” used in this report refers to the “material topic” definition of the Global Reporting Initiative. It is used to refer to relevant topics that can reasonably be considered important to an organization’s economic, environmental, and social impacts, or influencing the decisions of stakeholders. “Material” for the purposes of this report does not equate to any use of the word in other Company reporting or filings with the SEC.
General Standard Disclosures
General Disclosures are applicable to all organizations preparing sustainability reports and provide contextual information about an organization and its sustainability reporting practices. They include information about an organization’s profile, strategy, ethics and integrity, governance, stakeholder engagement practices, and reporting process.

2020 environmental data restated to capture acquisitions and boundary and methodology changes that were implemented in 2021 and applied retroactively for 2020 to facilitate year-over-year performance tracking. Newly captured acquisitions include Dynetics, L3 Harris SDA businesses, Gibbs & Cox, Inc., and 1901 Group. Boundary expanded to include aircraft emissions and fugitive refrigerant emissions from equipment at leased facilities where Leidos maintains the equipment. Previously, the boundary was limited to fugitive refrigerant emissions from equipment at owned facilities only. Methodology enhanced to include billed electricity and natural gas data from more facilities in the U.K. and Australia and large full service gross leases in the US. Previously, electricity and natural gas data for these facilities was estimated using the average intensity method. Reported figures are preliminary and pending third-party verification.

Leidos works in partnership with our data center providers to reduce power consumption and thereby its COkWH emissions footprint. Today, Leidos is using a fraction of the power that historically we’ve been associated with, and continue to strive toward power consumption levels that are reflective of our commitment to responsible data center governance. Through software defined data centers, moving our workload to the cloud, and moving our data recovery from physical storage to the cloud, we have seen considerable energy reductions in our centers. In Leidos largest data center, we have reduced kWh 6.5% and in our second largest data center, we have reduced kWh by 14%.

Leidos disposes of hazardous waste using Clean Harbors Environmental Services. Leidos generates hazardous waste at a very small percentage of our facilities. For those locations that do generate hazardous waste, all are considered small quantity generators per US EPA (less than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month). The waste is generally landfilled or incinerated at an EPA-permitted hazardous waste Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF), as reported to Leidos by Clean Harbors Environmental Services. Leidos collects waste-related data from our vendors who provide detailed reports that include billing, weight, processing, and method.
