ESH Strengthens Performance Through Partnerships
 Robust and comprehensive performance indicators are essential for tracking the effectiveness in any operational discipline, including ESH. Lockheed Martin has implemented a suite of internal measurement systems and external certification programs to substantiate excellent performance and measure progress toward ESH goals. In addition to tracking performance data on the company, business area and corporate level, the Corporation also participates in industry and government programs that establish standards for ESH excellence. These include:
- ISO 14001 Certification. To date, 35 Lockheed Martin facilities have earned ISO 14001 certification, which documents and verifies the facilities' adherence to ESH management system excellence. ISO 14001 certification also is a discriminator for international work.
- Environmental Protection Agency Performance Track. Thirteen Lockheed Martin facilities have achieved Performance Track status. Performance Track is a voluntary partnership program that recognizes and rewards businesses and public facilities that demonstrate strong environmental performance beyond current requirements. The Lockheed Martin facilities that have achieved Performance Track status are:
- Aeronautics Company - Fort Worth, Texas
- Aeronautics Company - Marietta, Ga.
- Aeronautics Company - Palmdale, Calif.
- Maritime Systems & Sensors - Baltimore, Md.

- Aeronautics in Fort Worth, Texas, partners with Texas OSHA,
- Space Systems in Denver, Colo., participates in the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program, and
- Maritime Systems & Sensors in Manassas, Va., participates in the Virginia Environmental Excellence Program.
Through these initiatives and more, Lockheed Martin demonstrates its commitment to ESH excellence and to being a good neighbor in the communities where we operate. By protecting the environment, employees and public, we are adding value to the Corporation, supporting our customers' missions to the very best of our abilities and enhancing the sustainability of our operations.
