General Dynamics Corporation (GD)
Data as of July 6, 2026
Environment story
General Dynamics discloses limited quantitative environmental data in the reviewed 10-K and proxy excerpts. No Scope 3 emissions trend, renewable-electricity percentage, or net-zero target year is disclosed, resulting in default deductions under the scoring rubric for undisclosed Scope 3 data and absence of a credible near-term net-zero target. No verified resource controversies (toxic waste, excessive water use) or physical decarbonization capital investments are documented in the source material, so no additional adjustments were applied in those categories.

Social story
Disclosed board composition data shows 3 of 12 director nominees are women and 3 are members of racial/ethnic minority groups (25% each), which falls below the 30% leadership-diversity threshold used in this rubric, resulting in a deduction. No documented union-suppression activity, major strikes, or supply-chain human-rights audit findings were present in the reviewed filings, so no further deductions were applied. CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is referenced in the proxy table of contents ('Pay Ratio Results,' p.84) but the specific ratio figure was not present in the extracted text, so no penalty was applied for this metric pending verified data.

No dual-class structure, no disclosed active antitrust/consumer-safety/fraud proceedings, and no specific lobbying expenditures targeting environmental or consumer-protection rollbacks were identified in the reviewed documents, resulting in no deductions under this rubric.
