A Message From Christopher E. Kubasik

Protecting everyday life is central to our mission at L3Harris - from developing innovative technology that safeguards our nation and allies, to our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Despite challenges during the pandemic, our L3Harris team remained focused on creating vital solutions safely and with integrity, excellence, and respect at the forefront.

These values continue to guide our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy. Our annual Sustainability Report showcases our progress and transparency on employee initiatives, environmental goals, community efforts and governance standards.

Our 47,000 employees continue to prove they can adapt and perform in nearly any setting. In this new normal, we bolstered initiatives to keep our employees safe and healthy, while working with our supplier base to meet customer expectations throughout evolving COVID-19 challenges.

In 2021, we also took a more active role in monitoring climate data to mitigate long-term risk throughout the L3Harris global portfolio. We initiated alignment with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures to advance our transparency in climate-related risks and opportunities.

We remain keenly focused on a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal of 30% by 2026, reaching beyond enterprise opportunities to identify renewable energy projects across our business. A major win this year: the start of commercial operation for an L3Harris-supported solar farm that will help eliminate roughly 110,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.

Supporting our community also extends to our neighbors in the areas where we live and work. We focus our community engagement strategy in three areas: STEM education, mission-aligned programs, and community development. Despite the pandemic, our employees volunteered 105,000 hours this year - far exceeding our enterprise goal.

The thoughtfulness of our exceptional employees during work and off-work hours is a testament to our vibrant L3Harris culture of solidarity. We strive for true diversity of thought by hiring efficiently, managing differently, and advancing with a purpose. We also invest key time and resources to empower diverse, equitable and inclusive choices for our people at every level within the organization.

Maintaining our success while remaining accountable to all stakeholders are top drivers for our Board of Directors - leaders who were long-serving military officers, senior business executives, academic fellows, and a U.S. Ambassador to a crucial national security ally.

Together, we aim to cultivate an ethical, disruptive company that strives for excellence far beyond base policies and standards.

As we consider how long-term national security is defined, we recognize responsible corporate governance is essential to creating sustainable value for all, especially for our customers, our families, and our communities.

I am grateful to our exceptional team at L3Harris as well as our supportive Board. I am confident - as we hold ourselves accountable to transparent, meaningful goals - we will continue to make progress toward a sustainable future for all.
