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.

Value Reporting Foundation - SASB Standards

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. In 2019 we produced our first  Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Disclosure Supplement.  In the 2020 report, we integrated our GRI™ Index and SASB Standards Disclosure into one 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.

During fiscal 2020, we acquired Dynetics, Inc. and L3Harris Technologies' ("L3Harris") security detection and automation businesses and entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 1901 Group, LLC ("1901 Group"). The acquisition of 1901 Group was subsequently completed in January 2021.  

See "Note 6, Acquisitions" and "Note 26, Subsequent Events" in Part II of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information and "Note 7-Divestitures" in Part II of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

At Leidos our suppliers and subcontractors are critical to our success, and we remain committed to partnering with those suppliers that work to meet our needs and those of our customers.  Most recently with our acquisition of L3Harris Technologies, we have integrated our Security Detection and Automation Supply Chain functions resulting in a compliant multinational team. This integration resulted in consolidating multiple ERPs into one ERP platform, inventory consolidation and reduction, purchase, sales order and AP clean-up, and integrated policies and procedures. We recently partnered with Kreller Group, a highly experienced investigation and consulting firm that performs background investigations and provides risk management advice. With this partnership, we collaborated to develop and institute an international trade compliance portal to supplement Leidos’ existing controls. The portal provides a dashboard and global purview of all intermediaries from which Leidos can initiate due diligence reports/investigations and monitor and manage the compliance of suppliers under Leidos policies and procedure.

102-11

Whether and how the organization applies the Precautionary Principal or approach. 

Leidos maintains a corporate-level Enterprise Risk Management Council (ERMC) to review business activities that present or have the potential to present material risk to the company. Risks and their mitigation plans are identified by relevant operating units and functions. The ERMC reviews those plans to support the actions needed to mitigate, manage, and reduce the potential impact of those risks and that the steps taken are in-line with the company’s overall risk tolerance.  Quarterly, the enterprise risk profile is presented

to the Board of Directors with emphasis placed on the highest rated risks.

    Leidos followed the World Resource Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WRI/WBCSD) GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) and The Climate Registry (TCR) General Reporting Protocol v2.1 for data collection and calculation methods, assumptions, and conversion factors.  Building-specific Assumptions: *For owned buildings and leased buildings where Leidos is responsible for paying utility bills, electricity and natural gas data were collected from utility billing information. *For leased buildings where Leidos is not responsible for paying electricity bills, electricity consumption   was estimated using the average intensity method described in The Climate Registry's (TCR) General Reporting Protocol v3.0. This method multiplies the floor area of each lease by an assumed electricity intensity factor based on building type from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey for 2012 (CBECS 2012). The resulting consumption was prorated based on the fraction of the year for which Leidos occupied each lease. *For leased buildings where Leidos is not responsible for paying natural gas bills, natural gas consumption was estimated using the average intensity method described in The Climate Registry's (TCR) General Reporting Protocol v3.0. This method multiplies the floor area of each lease by an assumed natural gas intensity factor based on building type from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey for 2012 (CBECS 2012). The resulting consumption was prorated based on the fraction of the year for which Leidos occupied each lease. *Diesel fuel use for generators at owned facilities was estimated by multiplying the number of hours each generator was in use during the calendar year by the fuel consumption rate (gallons per hour) specific to each generator model. *Leidos-occupied floor area is reported as an annual equivalent value. The floor area of each lease is prorated according to the fraction of the year each lease was active. For example, a 10,000 ft2 office lease occupied by Leidos for half the year is equivalent to 5,000 ft2 occupied for the entire year.  Fleet-specific Assumptions: *Leidos vehicle data is taken from insurance policy data that is updated on a quarterly basis. *Fuel consumption was prorated based on the disposal date of the vehicle. If the vehicle did not have a disposal date, it was conservatively assumed to have been used for the entire calendar year.

    3. Types of energy included in the intensity ratio; whether fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all.
    4. Whether the ratio uses energy consumption within the organization, outside of it, or both.

    The following metrics exclude energy consumption and floorspace from organizations acquired in 2020. Once data are available for those acquisitions, metrics will be updated accordingly.  

    1. 83 kBtu/ft2 (buildings energy only, fleet vehicle energy excluded). Natural gas and electricity consumption in owned and leased buildings. Leidos does not purchase heating, cooling, steam, or any other fuels. Fleet vehicle fuel consumption is not captured because the base metric of the intensity ratio is floor area of buildings. Note that fleet vehicle fuel consumption accounts for less than 2% of total energy.
    2. Total owned and lease floor area is about 7,062,711 ft2 (Leidos-occupied floor area only, subleased floor area excluded)
    3. Natural gas and electricity consumption in owned and leased buildings. Leidos does not purchase heating, cooling, steam, or any other fuels. Fleet vehicle fuel consumption is not captured because the base metric of the intensity ratio is floor area of buildings. Note that fleet vehicle fuel consumption accounts for less than 2% of total energy.

    1.  Leidos completed 1 lighting retrofit and 11 HVAC projects across 9 facilities in 2020. These projects are estimated to save 2,380 GJ per year.
    2. Electricity is the only fuel type included in these reductions. 
    3. The baselines for calculating reductions were the estimated annual energy consumption of the original systems and equipment.
    4. Reductions were calculated by comparing the estimated annual energy consumption of the new systems and equipment to the baseline consumption for original systems and equipment. Savings were determined as a function of improved efficiency ratings. Operating hours and service demands/loads were assumed to be the same for the baseline and upgraded systems.

    Discussion of the integration of environmental considerations into strategic planning for data center needs.  

    Environment > Corporate Footprint and Environmental Stewardship

    As a company that primarily provides services to the Federal government, Leidos has a relatively small environmental footprint. Except for a small number of owned facilities in the US, we lease office space in various locations throughout the world. Leidos works in partnership with our data center providers to reduce power consumption and thereby its CO2 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.

    1, 2, 3. See Environment > Corporate Footprint and Environmental Stewardship 

    4. Base year and rationale: 

    • i. Leidos utilizes a 2010 base year, because it was the year that Leidos began quantifying and reporting GHG emissions. Since most of our GHG emissions result from energy, 2010 is a logical base year for measuring energy savings also. In addition to measuring against the base year, Leidos finds it informative to measure year-over-year performance improvements.
    • ii. Base year market-based Scope 1 GHG emissions were 2,847 metric tons of CO2 equivalent
    • iii. There were no significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions. Emissions from organizations acquired in 2020 are not captured in our base year GHG inventory. Once data are available, Leidos will likely select a new base year that incorporates these acquisitions.

    5. Scope 1 emission factors were sourced from the U.S. EPA Emission Factors Hub. Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors were sourced from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). 

    6. Leidos uses an operational control consolidation approach for emissions. 

    7.

Business travel includes transportation of employees for business-related activities in vehicles not owned or operated by Leidos, including aircraft, trains, and passenger cars (rental cars). Employee commuting includes transportation of employees between their homes and their worksites. 5. Base year and rationale: i. Leidos finds it informative to measure year-over-year performance improvements. ii. 2019 market-based Scope 3 GHG emissions were 89,511 metric tons of CO2 equivalent iii. There were no significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions. Emissions from organizations acquired in 2020 are not captured in our base year GHG inventory. Once data are available, Leidos will likely select a new base year that incorporates these acquisitions.   6. Scope 3 emission factors were sourced from U.S. EPA Emission Factors Hub. Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors were sourced from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).  7. Leidos applied the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard to calculate scope 3 emissions.   For business travel, Leidos obtained air and rail travel mileage data from corporate travel service providers. Leidos obtained rental car mileage and fuel consumption data from corporate rental car providers.   For employee commuting, Leidos used employee count and telework data from corporate human resources along with commuter statistics (e.g., mode share and average trip length) from national transportation surveys in the U.S., UK, and Australia. For the U.S., mode share and average trip length data were sourced from the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) conducted by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). For the UK, mode share and average trip length data were sourced from the National Travel Survey conducted by the UK Department for Transport. For Australia, mode share and average trip length data were sourced from the Australian Census. To account for the impacts of the COVID- 19 Pandemic, total estimated commute trips for 2020 were down-adjusted in proportion to the drop in building occupancy rates from building access badge swipe data.

    Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity:

    1. GHG emissions intensity ratio for the organization.
    2. Organization-specific metric (the denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio.
    3. Types of GHG emissions included in the intensity ratio; whether direct (Scope 1), energy indirect (Scope 2), and/or other indirect (Scope 3).
    4. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.
    1. Leidos monitors the GHG intensity of our revenue and workforce. In 2020, the GHG intensity of our revenue was 4.4 mtCO2e/$1M and the GHG intensity of our workforce was 1.4 mtCO2e/FTE employee. These ratios exclude emissions, revenue, and employees from organizations acquired in 2020. Once data are available, these ratios will be updated to incorporate these acquisitions.   
    2. The denominators for 2020 intensity ratios were $11.117B revenue 35,930 FTE employees. Data from organizations acquired in 2020 are not included in these figures. Once data are available, these figures will be updated to incorporate these acquisitions.   
    3. All direct (Scope 1), energy indirect (Scope 2) market-based emissions from buildings and fleet vehicles are included in the intensity ratios. 
    4. All gases are included in these ratios, however, Leidos emissions are zero for some gases.

    305-5

    Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

    1. GHG emissions reduced as a direct result of reduction initiatives, in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
    2. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.
    3. Base year or baseline, including the rationale for choosing it.
    4. Scopes in which reductions took place; whether direct (Scope 1), energy indirect (Scope 2), and/or other indirect (Scope 3).
    5. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.
    1. Leidos completed 1 lighting retrofit and 11 HVAC projects across 9 facilities in 2020. These projects are estimated to save 224 mtCO2e per year.
    2. All gases are included in these calculations, however, Leidos emissions are zero for some gases.
    3. The baselines for calculating reductions were the estimated annual GHG emissions of the original systems and equipment.
    4. All reductions were energy indirect (Scope 2).
    5. Reductions were calculated by comparing the estimated annual energy consumption of the new systems and equipment to the baseline consumption for original systems and equipment. Savings were determined as a function of improved efficiency ratings. Operating hours and service demands/loads were assumed to be the same for the baseline and upgraded systems. Energy savings were translated to GHG emissions savings using Green-e Residual Mix emission factors and IPCC AR4 GWP factors.

    Leidos disposes of hazardous waste using Clean Harbors Environmental Services. In all cases, we are considered a small quantity generator 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. This information is then uploaded into our sustainability platform.

    New suppliers that were screened using environmental criteria

    Percentage of new suppliers that were screened using environmental criteria.

    In 2020, we piloted a sustainability questionnaire for 50 of our suppliers to collect information on key issues, including climate change, diversity and inclusion, cybersecurity, and human rights. The purposes of these engagements were (1) to expand the boundary and improve estimates of supply chain emissions, (2) to better understand the climate and sustainability stories of our suppliers, (3) to open a new line of communication with our suppliers and collaborate on climate and sustainability challenges, risks, and opportunities, and (4) to identify priority areas for improving internal management systems and processes that support supply chain sustainability. We limited distribution of the questionnaire to 50 large suppliers selected based on spend or leveraging prior partnerships and engagements.  Through data sharing and collaboration, the intended impact of this pilot engagement was to learn how best to collect sustainability data from key suppliers, to identify common data gaps, and to begin to support and encourage our suppliers to (1) set GHG targets and reduce emissions, (2) adopt strong stainability programs, (3) engage on industry initiatives that address sustainability issues, (4) analyze their own supply chains through a sustainability lens. The primary measure of success for this pilot supply chain questionnaire was response rate and, unfortunately, the realized response rate was much lower than pilot goals. We learned from our suppliers that many are suffering from questionnaire fatigue. As a result, Leidos is evaluating alternative data sources and engagement methods to achieve our supply chain sustainability objectives without burdening our suppliers.  In addition to the sustainability questionnaire, 205 of our contractors completed the Contractor Safety Questionnaire.  Of the 205 companies, 151 were for existing or previously qualified firms and 54 were for new subcontractors. 

    100% of new suppliers were screened using environmental criteria.

      In 2020 Leidos established the Supply Chain Risk and Resiliency Program that is designed to build a flexible supply chain that can rapidly adjust to risks and disruptions by bending to stress without breaking. Within this program is Supply Chain Sustainability that includes our focus on factors that are related to environmental, social and governance practices within the entire value chain. To further our action in this area we released our first supplier environmental, social and governance assessment to a group of our key partners. Leidos has a holistic program that combines close relationships with our key partners, small businesses, and a diverse set of industry-leading tools to maintain a focus on proactive protections to minimize disruptions while accelerating recovery and promoting environmental and social action. Through management of a core supply base, tight collaboration with partners across the industry, and sharing information across cross-functional internal teams, the Leidos Supply Chain Risk & Resiliency program combines industry best-practices with real-time data to anticipate disruptions and adjust as the threats evolve. These initiatives complement our goals of delivering exceptional service, value and expertise to internal stakeholders through efficient and compliant processes, as well as helping to establish a high performing, innovative and diverse supply base.
