Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: Lockheed Martin has extremely limited engagement with climate policy and limited top-line messaging on climate change. The company remains a member of US-based industry associations that are obstructive of climate change policy, such as the US Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: Lockheed Martin has limited top-line messaging on climate policy. In the company’s 2024 Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities Report, published in May 2025, the company appeared to acknowledge the link between GHG emissions and extreme weather events. However, in the company’s 2024 CDP response, Lockheed Martin appeared to support a business-led response to climate change over government regulation. The company does not appear to have taken a clear position on the Paris Agreement.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: InfluenceMap has not identified any evidence of engagement on climate-related policies from 2023-2025.
Positioning on Energy Transition: Lockheed Martin appears to have limited, negative engagement on policy related to the energy transition. The company signed a June 2025 joint letter organized by the National Association of Manufacturers supporting the passage of the 2025 Reconciliation Bill, which proposes to repeal or rapidly phase out many of the Inflation Reduction Act's climate incentives and facilitates the build-out of fossil fuel infrastructure. On its corporate website, last accessed in July 2025, the company broadly supported the use of synthetic sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) from “renewable and non-renewable sources,” including fossil fuels, without emphasizing the need for IPCC-aligned sustainability criteria for SAFs.
Industry Association Governance: Lockheed Martin has disclosed a partial list of its industry association memberships on its website, accessed in July 2025, including its membership to the US Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers. However, the company appears to have excluded its membership to the California Chamber of Commerce and the Clean Energy Council. The company holds board membership to both the National Association of Manufacturers and the California Chamber of Commerce, which both actively oppose climate policy in the US. The company's disclosure of its alignment with its industry associations in its 2024 CDP response, which the company has directly linked in the “Climate Lobbying Assessment” section of its website, is limited to top-line statements without reference to specific climate policies or and engagement activities.

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 Q3 2025.
