We have expanded the list of climate policies we assess company engagement with to incorporate land-use related policy, referring to legislative or regulatory measures to enhance and protect ecosystems and land where carbon is being stored. Assessments under this category are currently underweighted in terms of their contribution to the overall company metrics. This weighting will be progressively increased over the next 6 months.
We adjusted the terminology used to describe the queries running down the left-hand side of our scoring matrix and added additional explanatory text to the info-boxes. This has no impact on the scores and methodology. It has been done following user feedback to improve clarity.

In this section, we depict graphically the relationships the corporation has with trade associations, federations, advocacy groups and other third parties who may be acting on their behalf to influence climate change policy. Each of the columns above represents one relationship the corporation appears to have with such a third party. In these columns, the top, dark section represents the strength of the relationship the corporation has with the influencer. For example if a corporation's senior executive also held a key role in the trade association, we would deem this to be a strong relationship and it would be on the far left of the chart above, with the weaker ones to the right. Click on these grey shaded upper sections for details of these relationships. The middle section contains a link to the organization score details of the influencer concerned, so you can see the details of its climate change policy influence. Click on the middle sections for for details of the trade associations. The lower section contains the organization score of that influencer, the lower the more negatively it is influencing climate policy.

Climate Lobbying Overview: Lockheed Martin has limited engagement on climate change via top-line messaging or detailed lobbying on climate-related policy in 2020-22. However, the company has expressed support for the energy transition and limited pieces of climate legislation in Australia and the US in 2022. The company remains a member of numerous US-based trade associations actively lobbying against climate regulation, including the US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: Lockheed Martin does not appear to have disclosed its top-line positioning on climate change in 2020-22. In key communications, such as its 2021 Sustainability Report, released in 2022, Lockheed Martin has not transparently disclosed its position on the need to reduce GHG emissions, the need for government regulation, or the Paris Agreement. However, Lockheed Martin's 2022 'Climate-related risks and opportunities' report appears to recognize some of the science of climate change.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: In 2020-22, Lockheed Martin appears to have had limited engagement with climate policy, although the company has supported items of regulation in Australia and the US. In 2020, a consultation response by Lockheed Martin on the Federal Government’s Technology Investment Roadmap in Australia communicates general support for funding ARENA and CEFC, urging the government to support innovative battery storage technologies. Furthermore, Lockheed Martin’s 2021 CDP response appears to disclose support with exceptions for California’s cap and trade scheme to 2030. Lockheed Martin does not provide a dedicated climate policy disclosure section on its website and lacks transparency in its positions on, or engagement with, climate change policy in its communications.
Positioning on Energy Transition: Lockheed Martin has limited messaging regarding its positioning on the energy transition. In a 2020 Australian consultation response, Lockheed Martin communicates support for Australia to transition to a low-carbon energy sector, arguing that increased battery storage technologies would complement Australia’s growing renewable energy supply. A June 2022 press release also appeared generally suppportive of increased renewables and energy battery storage technologies in the US.
Industry Association Governance: Lockheed Martin publicly discloses a list of its memberships to industry associations on its website without disclosing its direct engagement with them on climate change, their climate policy positions, or its role within each association. It has not published a review of its alignment with its industry associations on its corporate website. Lockheed Martin is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers, which have active and negative engagement with US climate policy. It is also a member of the Business Roundtable, which has mixed engagement on US climate policy.
InfluenceMap collects and assesses evidence of corporate climate policy engagement on a weekly basis, depending on the availability of information from each specific data source (for more information see our methodology). While this analysis flows through to the company’s scores each week, the summary above is updated periodically. This summary was last updated in Q1 2023.
