Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Science Applications International Corp demonstrates a moderate level of transparency in its climate-related lobbying. It clearly names two specific policies—Executive Order 13990, "Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis," and Executive Order 14008, "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad"—showing the exact policies under its focus. The company outlines its lobbying methods, noting engagement activities such as "educating, commenting, providing data," and working with policy officials involved in the implementation of those Executive Orders, though the targets are described only generally as "policy officials." Finally, it specifies the outcomes it seeks by advocating for the "use of existing systems and data to facilitate policy implementation" and by "identifying potential barriers to achieving the goals of the implemented policies," including its rationale that existing systems can sometimes be more effective than new ones.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	SAIC has established a process whereby “SAIC’s advocacy team coordinates and engages with corporate, functional and business leaders” — including the “Executive Leadership Team” and “SAIC Climate Enterprise” — “to ensure consistency in messaging and engagement.” This suggests a mechanism for ensuring that the company’s climate-related advocacy is aligned with its overall strategy, under the oversight of senior leadership. We found no evidence of any procedure to monitor or audit how its lobbying positions, whether direct or via trade associations, align with broader climate policies, nor any criteria for reviewing or adjusting its participation in industry groups whose stances may conflict with its climate objectives.	2
