SAIC recently released its 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report, an annual review that highlights the company’s progress on its environmental, social and governance imperatives.
Among the achievements the report highlights is a 30% decrease in emissions for the 2021 calendar year compared to 2019. For the same period, SAIC also reduced electrical energy consumption 13%.
“Today, as we focus on tomorrow, we are building on our ESG commitment and setting bold goals,” said CEO Nazzic S. Keene. “. . . Whether that involves architecting what’s next for our customers, reinventing the future of work for our employees or improving the communities and world around us, we are committed to a better tomorrow. Corporate responsibility is an integral part of that commitment and drives our actions.”
Every year since 2019, SAIC has been recognized by Forbes as a best large employer, a best employer for diversity, and since 2021, as a best employer for veterans. The company received a perfect score for the past four years as a Human Rights Campaign best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality. And the company donated the equivalent of 3.8 million meals through Feeding America in 2021.
Some 64% of SAIC’s board of directors is female or people of color.
To target employee well-being, SAIC has enhanced employee benefits by expanding work flexibility, keeping medical premiums down and implementing programs for back-up child and elder care. The company is also placing a focus on ethics and integrity as “non-negotiables.”
Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are becoming more critical than ever. SAIC became one of the first in the industry to celebrate Juneteenth this year as a paid, annual holiday. The company is also working to increase representation of women and people of color throughout all levels of leadership.
