Report reflects company’s continued commitment to sustainability and environment, social and governance efforts
Reston, Va., August 31, 2023 – Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) today published its fourth annual Corporate Responsibility Report, highlighting the company’s ongoing commitment and continued evolution of its programs to improve the world, communities and people’s lives.
“As we release our fourth corporate responsibility report, I am proud of the strides we have made in sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and social and governance imperatives, but perhaps more importantly, I am proud that these efforts have become foundational to our culture at SAIC,” said Nazzic Keene, chief executive officer at SAIC. “Our culture centers on corporate responsibility efforts that begin with strong governance. This ensures all of us act with integrity and are held accountable, which are non-negotiables in our company.”
The report features the establishment of the Office of Environmental, Social and Governance Integration, which is dedicated to the integration of the company’s environmental efforts, improving diversity and inclusion across SAIC’s workforce, and supporting the communities in which SAIC employees live and work. The office is a direct result of SAIC’s commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability and creates a mechanism to hold the company accountable to the goals it sets.
Like previous reports, it showcases continued progress in areas such as reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, elevating the company’s commitment to leadership and workforce diversity, and focus philanthropy in three areas important to the company: military heroes; community wellness; and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) efforts.
The report provides a snapshot of SAIC’s activities and progress in corporate responsibility and sustainability including:
- Elevated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts – commitment and action to advance parity in the representation of women and people of color in leadership reflect the diversity of our workforce
- Lowered Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 36% and electricity use by 22% since 2019
- Amplified communications around the SAIC Charitable Foundation, which helps SAIC employees and dependents in times of need
- A steadfast commitment to high ethical standards as ethics and integrity serve as the foundation of SAIC’s business practices, and by extension, the success of the company
- A focus on protecting customers, business partners and employees through data privacy and cybersecurity, which is integral to everything SAIC does
As with past reports, the current publication is accompanied by SAIC’s response to the Global Reporting Index (GRI), a Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) report as well as the ESG Reporting Framework and Standards Index, which also incorporates the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
