The Path to Excellence• Our strategic direction has evolved to focus on protecting people,

places (the environment), and products.– Go Green aligns with our Corporate Values:

• Do What’s Right• Respect Others• Perform with Excellence

– Integrating ESH into every aspect of our business will enable the Corporation to sustain its processes and operations.

• Our individual and enterprise activities are making a difference.

Our Goals• 2011 absolute reduction targets for Marietta:

– Reduce waste to landfill by 2.5%– Reduce water usage by 6.5%– Increase carbon emissions by 0%

• 2012 LM absolute reduction targets– Reduce carbon emissions by 25%– Reduce waste to landfill by 25%– Reduce water usage by 25%

Lockheed Martin’s goal is to eliminateadverse environmental impact from its operations.

NOTE: All reductions are against the 2007 baseline and are not indexed to sales.

M.Beauchamp
would clarify these are Corp goals

Water Reduction Projects• Wind tunnel project commissioned in

2010.– Water basin extension increases

water capture and recycling during cooling process.

• Reverse osmosis system commissioned in 2004.– System will save more than 200,000

gallons of water per day.– Water used in boilers, cooling towers,

and other non-potable processes.• Boiler plate language in documents for

new construction and renovation that restrooms will use low flow toilets, waterless urinals, and low flow sinks.

Carbon Reduction Projects• 6 phases to be completed by 2012.

– 1,900 20k hour yellow 1000 watt lamps being replaced with 100,000 hour white lighting 600 watt lamps.

– Eliminates hazardous waste disposal.

– New lighting fixtures use 40% less energy.

• Hybrid and electric vehicles used throughout facility to travel between North and South campuses and in buildings.

* New lights.* Old lights.

Waste to Landfill Reduction Projects• Single stream/commingled recycling.

– Process allows users to place all recyclable materials into one container without sorting.

• Flyers, emails, and one on one communications used to educate employees.

• Composting programs are also underway.– Food composting began in April

2011.– Paper towel composting will be

implemented in fall.

• Plastic bags, all varieties.• Plastics, #1-7.• Shredded paper (place in bag)• Frozen food boxes.• Paperback and hardback books.• Cardboard (FLATTEN!).• Paper bags and paperboard.• Paper milk/juice cartons (do not

flatten).• Metal/steel lids and bottlecaps.• Phonebooks/newspapers/inserts.

• Aluminum, includes cans, clean foil, and pie pans.

• Tin cans.• Glass bottles and jars.• Office paper, including colored

paper.• Magazines/brochures/catalogs.• File folders.• Blueprints.• Opened/junk mail and cards.• Paper egg cartons.

Hazardous Material Recycling Program• Managed by Hazardous Waste Operations.– Expired material reuse: paints & sealants

used for training. Sealants donated to Marietta Aviation Museum to repair displays.

– Donated 30,000 lbs of lime and 8,000 lbs of defoamer to Chattanooga’s Waste Water Treatment Facility.

– Poly-drums cleaned on site and given to employees.

– 4,000 pounds of plaster donated to Boy Scouts.

– Steel drums used onsite until no longer meet specs, after which they are crushed and recycled.

Hazardous Material Recycling Program• Materials used in F-22 coatings

contain heavy metals, such as silver, which present a risk to the environment and human health.– Marietta began selling these

waste materials as a silver bearing commodity rather than disposing of the material as a waste.

– Recycling the silver has eliminated disposal costs and potential Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) liability.

• Third party logistics company receives parts and loads kits into Lockheed Martin supplied reusable containers.

• Reduces wood and dunnage to landfills.• Corporate has provided funding as green pilot program.• F-35 is utilizing reusable, collapsible shipping containers.

– A program has been developed to determine what other areas this type of shipping method would be appropriate for.

Partnerships• Aramark:

– Purchased vending machine lighting upgrades and motion detectors.

– Coca-Cola vending machine temperature adjustments.

• Air Force:– AF funded study completed on impact of centralized

recycling facility.• Material Operations and Facilities:

– Utilizing waste to energy disposal for waste waster treatment sludge.• More than 750,000 pounds of material has

been sent to WTE facilities.• IS&T Green Working Group:

– Partner with HP and Dell on 6-pack laptop packages. • Sub-Assembly Sites:

– Meridian, MS and Clarksburg, WV send recyclables to Marietta.

Employee Commute Options• Working with The Clean Air Campaign to increase use of alternative

commute options.• The Clean Air Campaign runs the “Log Your Commute” website and

continually recognizes employees as “Clean Air Champions”- those commuting at benchmark levels, starting at 25,000 pounds of air pollution reduced.

• Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has created the “Share-A-Ride” webpage which allows employees to advertise and join car and vanpools internally.

Stewardship Activities• Sponsor quarterly Adopt-A-Mile

road clean-up activities.• Sponsor booths in Keep Cobb

Beautiful’s (KCB) Earth Fair for area educators.

• Donate binders and office supplies to Cobb County Teacher Supply Storehouse.

• Organize yearly community service activities for Earth Day.– Lockheed Elementary School

butterfly garden and re-mulching project.

Greening E-SAFTE• E-SAFTE Teams (Environmental and Safety Actions for

Team Excellence) are employee run teams that put safety and environmental issues back into employees’ hands.

• Environmental actions were added to the Marietta E-SAFTE Team program in October of 2008.

• Teams liked the idea of having the ability to submit more ideas and get more points.

• Communication between employees on the floor and ESH has greatly improved.

E-SAFTE Team Presentation: Vanishing Act

• Stock material for cutting out parts was not long enough to maximize use of the material.

• Team discussed issues with MRB Engineers and the vender to add 1” to the sheet stock.– Employees can now cut 3

templates out of material verses 2, and reduce the amount of waste produced.

Recycling Buildings• First employee recycling center placed in 2008.• Second recycling drop-off location for employees built in May 2011.

– Built from recyclable materials from throughout the facility.

On-site Activities• Resource Resolution: done at the

beginning of every year to remind and encourage employees to “go green”.

• America Recycles Day: held recycled material sculpture contest.

• Earth Day: participated in events on site and at DARB. Vendors brought in to showcase ways to “green” at home and work.

• October 23, 2010: held HHW collection event for employees on site.– HHW Event
