BAE Systems provides some of the world’s most advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions and employs a skilled workforce of some 89,600 people in more than 40 countries. Working with customers and local partners, we develop technology that helps to save lives, protect borders and people, strengthen nations, and keeps critical information and infrastructure secure. Since we, like many other companies, joined the United Nations ‘Race to Zero’ campaign our focus on minimising our impact on the environment and operating more sustainably has sharpened.
Taking a ‘whole industry’ approach we are investing in processes and technologies to create leaner, lighter products with a lower carbon footprint, develop innovative ways of working to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of our operations and products. We are also investing in our people and in 2022 launched a new masters-level sustainability apprenticeship. You can read more about our approach to sustainability here.
