SAIC's Commitment to Innovation, Diversity, and Inclusive Leadership

SAIC has a strong tradition of delivering innovative solutions to its clients, fostering a workplace that attracts top talent, prioritizing environmental stewardship, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to ethical practices. We achieve these goals through the dedication of our exceptional workforce. As we push the boundaries of technology and innovation to serve and protect, a key part of our strategy involves attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent. This talent is essential to drive advancements in engineering, science, and IT solutions.
 
To meet the needs of our shareholders, customers, and employees, we focus on providing purposeful work and value, which includes:

 
Creating a Culture of Value
Our vision for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is clear: 

 
Why It Matters
At SAIC, we understand that diverse teams deliver stronger solutions to our customers' toughest challenges. When employees and customers see themselves reflected in our leadership and workforce, we can attract and retain the talent necessary to fulfill our mission. In fiscal year 2024 (FY24), we focused on employee engagement, development, and talent acquisition.
 
In FY21, we set a goal to achieve parity in representation between women and people of color in leadership and non-leadership roles by FY26. In FY23, we met our goal for women in leadership at 28%, and in FY24, we maintained that progress. We also increased the representation of people of color in leadership by 2%, reaching 25%. Additionally, our gender pay gap remains at approximately 1% for full-time, non-executive employees.
 
We prioritize hiring the most qualified candidates by developing a diverse leadership pipeline. This includes eliminating bias in job descriptions, recruitment tools, and processes. Our leadership development programs, such as the AcceleratHER Women’s Leadership Academy, Leadership 365, and other initiatives, support employee growth at all levels.
 
To ensure fair access to opportunities, we provide training for leaders, hiring managers, and recruiters on the importance of parity and inclusion. We use diverse talent sourcing tools and marketing efforts to reach a wide range of candidates. Currently, women make up 32% and people of color 57% of our candidate pool.
 
Employee Resource Groups
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are central to our employee engagement strategy. About 13% of our workforce participates in one of our seven affinity groups, which focus on providing resources, engagement, and support for their unique communities. These ERGs are open to all employees, fostering allyship and inclusion across the company.
 
Supplier Diversity
We recognize that small and diverse businesses are critical to maintaining a dynamic contractor ecosystem, particularly in meeting the unique needs of our government clients. SAIC actively engages with small, diverse-owned businesses, offering mentorship, outreach, and contract opportunities. In FY24, we spent over $420 million with small, diverse-owned businesses, including those that are disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and others.
 
SAIC + Diversity
We foster a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and be their authentic selves. SAIC's commitment to inclusion is consistently recognized by third-party organizations, including:
