Ethical Profile

Mixed.

SAIC's ethical standing presents a mixed picture. Its business model is heavily tied to defense, with over 90% of revenue from U.S. government contracts, including a $928 million contract for Air Force warfighting capabilities, raising concerns regarding "No War, No Weapons" values. Internally, the CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio is 78x. While overall employee ratings are 4.0/5, compensation and benefits are rated 3.8/5, decreasing 1% in the last year. Reports suggest some employees cite poor pay and alleged toxic work environments. Positively, SAIC reduced carbon emissions over 41% since 2019 and electricity consumption 7% in 2023, with a 2025 goal to divert 50% of waste from landfills.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Consequently, the company does not have consumer credit products, APRs, fee structures, or financial literacy programs to evaluate. While SAIC engages in community support, such as donating nearly $840,000 to Building Homes for Heroes

1
and committing $1.5 million to the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering,
2
and spends over $420 million with diverse-owned small businesses,
3
these activities do not constitute 'community finance reinvestment' or 'inclusion lending' as defined by the rubric for financial services.

Honest & Fair Business

-10

SAIC incurred a $450,000 fine in 2024 for a False Claims Act violation.

2
However, SAIC demonstrates several positive practices. Ninety percent of its board members are independent.
3

Kind to Animals

-10

SAIC is a technology integrator and service provider, which means many animal welfare KPIs related to product manufacturing, animal-derived ingredients, or agriculture are not applicable to its core business. However, SAIC has direct involvement with animals through its long-standing support of the U.S. Navy's Marine Mammal Program, employing approximately 100 marine mammal specialists and providing animal care services.

1
There is no evidence that any of these animal-related operations hold recognized humane certifications. Animal welfare groups have raised concerns about the confinement and potential mistreatment of animals within the Navy Marine Mammal Program, although the Navy denies these allegations and claims to uphold the 'highest standards of care.'
2
SAIC also contributes to wildlife conservation by donating over 1,000 volunteer hours to the National Marine Mammal Foundation, assisting with stranded sea lion pups, but specific measurable biodiversity impacts or a percentage of revenue for conservation are not provided to align with the rubric's quantitative thresholds.
