Better Health for All

L3Harris Technologies demonstrated exceptional support during the COVID-19 pandemic, committing $2 million to global relief and recovery efforts, including contributions to the American Red Cross and United Way

. The company also provided grants to employees impacted by the pandemic and donated thousands of protective suits to a hospital in Virginia and masks to a medical group in New York . In April 2020, it offered its BeOn software application free for 90 days to healthcare systems and other entities involved in COVID-19 response, enabling smartphones and other devices to function as encrypted public safety radios to enhance communication for healthcare workers . Furthermore, L3Harris developed critical communication solutions specifically for healthcare professionals, designed to improve patient care through rapid, secure communication, coordination, and response times . The company's operations do not involve pharmaceutical products, food products, clinical trials, or products with addiction potential, rendering several health-related KPIs not applicable.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

L3Harris Technologies is an aerospace and defense company, not a financial institution. The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other consumer financial services. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, services, and customer financial outcomes are not applicable, resulting in a score of 0 for each. While L3Harris provided over $900,000 in grants to non-profits for economic opportunities

and accelerated over $100 million in payments to small business suppliers, these actions represent general economic support rather than direct engagement in fair money practices or community finance as defined by the rubric's KPIs for financial institutions.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

L3Harris Technologies achieved a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index for the ninth consecutive year as of December 2023, reflecting its support for LGBTQ+ employees.

In July 2023, the company also earned a 100% score on the Disability Equality Index for its inclusive and accessible work environment. L3Harris was included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, demonstrating commitment to gender equality, with 25% women in its workforce and 36% in executive positions. The company conducts annual pay equity analyses with external firms to identify and address potential pay gaps related to race and gender and has published Gender Pay Gap Reports for its Communication & Security segment, with the most recent available for 2023. L3Harris introduced a new benefits brand, CARE, offering programs such as fertility benefits, hearing aid coverage, and menopause support. However, employee reviews indicate annual pay raises are perceived as approximately 2% for meeting expectations and 3% for exceeding them, leading some employees to seek higher compensation elsewhere. In 2024, discussions about unionizing emerged among employees due to concerns over multiple layoffs, return-to-office mandates, limited advancement opportunities, and benefits issues. A lawsuit was filed in 2025 alleging racial discrimination, claiming fewer assignments for African American recruiters and disproportionate layoffs of African American employees after a hiring freeze in April 2023. L3Harris also expects its supply partners to prohibit child or forced labor and maintain safe and healthy work environments.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

L3Harris Technologies reported zero instances of Modern Slavery identified in its supply chains for the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

The company requires all suppliers to abide by its Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes enforceable ethical-sourcing clauses prohibiting human trafficking, child, and forced labor. Suppliers must certify their prohibition of human trafficking annually or before contract renewal/award. General Terms and Conditions and procurement documents also require compliance with laws prohibiting child labor, indentured, prison or compulsory labor, slavery, and human trafficking. L3Harris, its customers, and regulatory agencies have the right to conduct audits of supplier facilities. The company employs a risk-based approach to due diligence, assessing modern slavery risks based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s 2022 List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor and procurement system categories. L3Harris partners with Interos to gain insight into suppliers, including sub-tier suppliers, and uses systems to identify potential red flags.

Honest & Fair Business

L3Harris Technologies received a Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating of 24.3.

The company has a strong anti-corruption policy with zero tolerance for corrupt practices; in 2024, 100% of business segments were assessed for corruption risks, and 100% of employees and business partners received anti-corruption policies, procedures, and training. Approximately 92% of the Board members are independent directors. The company operates a third-party helpline for whistleblowers, accessible via web and toll-free options in all jurisdictions to both internal and external reporters, allowing for confidential and anonymous submissions.

In 2024, L3Harris incurred one environmental regulatory fine of approximately $17,500.

Kind to Animals

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to assess L3Harris Technologies Inc. against any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs. The articles mention general environmental sustainability goals and achievements, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and solid waste, and sourcing renewable electricity.

While these efforts are noted to "indirectly aid wildlife" or "could indirectly benefit wildlife habitats," they do not provide the measurable biodiversity impact of conservation initiatives, species recovery, or habitat restoration metrics required for scoring the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI, nor do they address any other animal welfare-specific criteria.
