Making an impact
We embrace the opportunities that working at BAE Systems brings. This goes beyond a fulfilling career. Together we use our platform and our potential to create positive change. Driven by our purpose, we’re committed to contributing to a brighter, better, and more secure tomorrow.
Giving back
Investing in the communities that we live and work with is important to us. From working with armed forces charities, to inspiring young people to study STEM subjects, we come together to support programmes and people closely connected to our business.
Volunteering
Just like we're proud to have a positive impact on our customers, we're all proud to have an impact on our communities. Collectively we volunteer around 1,400 working days every year. It brings us together, offers new opportunities to develop and grow, and helps us make a difference to the world around us.
Working with local communities
We value the relationships we have with the communities we live and work alongside. Last year we gave £1.7 million to community projects and we take an active role in programmes that deliver positive change to our local areas.
Our environmental responsibility
As a future-focused business we're committed to changing the world we live in for the better. Our target is to achieve net zero emissions by 2030, we're innovating new ways to develop on-site renewable electricity and setting ambitious targets for water consumption and waste generation.
Inspiring young people
STEM subjects open up a whole world of possibilities for young people and last year we invested £2.8 million in education initiatives. By volunteering on our outreach programme our team play a key role in reaching under-represented groups. Encouraging and inspiring the next generation of leaders and innovators to consider a career in STEM.
