Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)

Environment story

SAIC disclosed minimal environmental metrics in its 10-K filing. The company operates primarily as a defense/IT services contractor with no disclosed Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions data. No net-zero target year is stated. The 10-K acknowledges climate change risks (extreme weather, operational disruptions, facility closures) and notes the company is 'actively monitoring and adapting to changes in environmental laws' and 'implementing sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our operations,' but provides no quantified emissions baselines, reduction targets, or renewable energy percentages. No major environmental controversies (toxic-waste litigation, water-use disputes, habitat destruction) are documented in the filing. The company references handling 'hazardous substances or dangerous materials' (explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) in service of federal contracts but does not detail environmental compliance outcomes or remediation liabilities. Absence of credible, third-party-validated sustainability reporting and specific environmental KPIs results in a below-average environmental score.

Social story

SAIC disclosed limited social metrics. The 10-K does not provide a CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, making quantitative assessment impossible; no pay equity gap disclosures (gender or racial) are present. The filing states the company 'rely[s] heavily on the expertise and skills of our employees' and acknowledges 'competition for talent is intense' and 'cleared talent is in demand.' The company notes difficulty recruiting/retaining qualified employees in specialized areas but does not disclose workforce turnover rates. No major active union-suppression activities or strikes within 24 months are documented. Leadership diversity metrics are absent from the filing; no percentages of women or underrepresented minorities in executive/board roles are provided. The 10-K mentions concern about 'recent executive orders relating to DEI' but states 'we do not anticipate an adverse impact on our future operations and revenues related to these executive orders,' indicating the company will maintain compliance with applicable laws. No supply-chain human-rights audit findings (e.g., regarding cobalt, lithium, or other conflict minerals) are disclosed. The company subcontracts extensively but does not detail supply-chain ethics audits or remediation of identified hazards. Absence of quantified diversity targets, pay-equity analysis, and supply-chain ethics transparency limits confidence in social performance.

Governance story

SAIC operates under a single-class share structure with no disclosed dual-class voting rights, supporting governance strength. Board independence percentage is not explicitly disclosed in the 10-K filing; however, no indication of supermajority founder control or extreme concentration is evident given the company's public trading and institutional investor base. The company does not disclose annual lobbying expenditures in the filing, though it acknowledges being 'subject to numerous federal, state, and foreign legal requirements' and monitoring executive orders (including those on FAR reform and environmental deregulation). No evidence of active litigation to block shareholder climate proposals is documented. The 10-K does not report active antitrust proceedings or consumer-safety regulatory actions. The company discloses several pending legal matters (see Note 17) but characterizes them as immaterial or related to contract performance disputes rather than fraud or systemic misconduct. Government agencies routinely conduct DCAA and DCMA audits of SAIC's indirect cost rates and compliance systems; the 10-K notes 'DCAA's indirect cost audits of our business remain open for certain prior years and the current year,' which is standard for government contractors. No recent SEC consent decrees, financial-fraud findings, or major privacy/antitrust fines are documented. The absence of specific lobbying-spend disclosure and board-independence percentages prevents a higher score.
