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 negative impacts our business may have on the environment. We take our environmental commitment seriously and set self-imposed goals for greenhouse gas emissions, energy conservation and other important initiatives.
SAIC’s commitment to environmental sustainability begins with decarbonization of our operations.
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions
We measure, monitor and track our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions at facilities where we maintain operational control and publicly disclose those emissions. SAIC began setting greenhouse gas reduction goals in 2014 to encourage ongoing reductions in our carbon footprint. We established a new baseline in 2019 due to significant changes in our real estate portfolio. We updated our baseline in 2022 as we achieved our most recent reduction target after previously meeting two earlier goals.
Scope 3 Emissions
SAIC began adding Scope 3 emissions reporting for material categories in 2022. In addition to reporting Business Travel and Leased Assets last year, in calendar year 2023 we included Employee Commuting and Fuel and Energy Related Activity Emissions.
We employ the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard methodology to determine our GHG emissions inventory and obtain independent assurance for our GHG emissions inventory.
Energy Conservation
We focus on electrical energy consumption from our real estate portfolio by tracking and evaluating electricity consumption and efficiency at facilities where we have operational control. In calendar year 2023, we reduced our electrical energy consumption by 7.14% from 2022 levels, with a total consumption of 25,833,192 kWh. For the last five years, we have consistently decreased electricity use from our efforts across our portfolio to improve operating efficiencies. These include optimizing space use, retiring under-performing assets as part of our leasing strategies, deploying energy-efficient lighting and implementing programs addressing after-hours setback and controls for heating and cooling.
