Life at SAIC
SAIC + People = Success
Our success begins and ends with our people. We recognize that how we work is as important to our people as what we accomplish. Our business is focused on engineering, IT and integrated solutions, so the need to acquire, develop and retain talent is fundamental to us as a partner in transforming government and enhancing our nation and citizen lives.
We are thus committed to providing a differentiated employee experience with meaningful work in solving customer challenges, opportunities to collaborate and help others and a work environment where the best ideas and solutions are leveraged no matter where and who they come from. Our people are empowered to be their authentic selves at work, where their talents are nurtured and employee flexibility and well-being are our priorities.
SAIC is a great place for integrators, collaborators and problem-solvers to build rewarding careers.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We believe DE&I enhances our ability to nurture successful people.
Only with a diverse and inclusive workforce can we harness wide-ranging talent needed to achieve engineering, science and IT innovation for our customers. We continually strengthen a culture where inclusion is valued, everyone is empowered to bring their full and authentic selves to work and all individuals are respected. Our organization is advancing forward through four pillars of commitment to DE&I.
Citizenship & Community Engagement
We are stewards of the communities in which we live and work.
SAIC has a deep legacy of community involvement and employee volunteerism. Our collective ability to give back to our local communities is built upon the talent, creativity and passion of our employees and their families. We focus our philanthropy on three areas that are important to them and team up with nonprofit organizations that serve those causes across the country.
Talent Development
We empower and energize our people to love what they do.
To develop our people and keep their skills at the forefront, we invest in technical and professional skills training, leadership development programs, higher education programs and tuition assistance programs for continuing education or industry certification. In FY23, our employees completed approximately 129,000 hours of training that included over 7,800 hours of leadership development for aspiring managers. They also engage with each other and share best practices through numerous communities of interest and communities of practice.

Environmental Stewardship
We prioritize conservation and sustainability.
SAIC recognizes the risks climate change poses to our environment, and we are committed to reducing any negative impacts on the environment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are an important gauge in that overall environmental impact. We have historically measured, monitored, and tracked our GHG emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) at those facilities over which we have operational control and publicly disclosed those emissions. For 2022, we expanded our reporting to include Scope 3 emissions associated with business travel and leased assets, which includes sites not under our operational control and that have not been included in our Scope 1 and Scope 2 reporting historically.
In 2014, SAIC set a goal of reducing emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 15% by 2025 and exceeded that goal with a reduction of 25% in 2016. To further encourage cuts to our carbon footprint, we used 2019* as a new baseline and established a new interim goal of an additional 15% by 2025 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. By year-end 2022, we achieved this additional 15% reduction. As we achieved our Scopes 1 and 2 reduction targets for 2025, we will be setting a new carbon target based on our 2022 calendar year-end results.
2022 total Scope 3 emissions were 25,134 tonnes (measured in MTCO2e).
These results were determined following the method outlined in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard..
You can see additional GHG emission details and read more about the steps we are taking to be a responsible environmental steward in our most recent Corporate Responsibility Report.
*SAIC chose 2019 as the new base year due to significant changes in our real estate portfolio associated with the acquisition of Engility in January 2019.
