Supporting our Armed Forces
Leonardo recognises the contribution that the members of the Armed Forces make to the nation through their service and sacrifices as a result of their duty. Therefore, we have a moral obligation to those who have served in the past, in the Armed Forces – whether Regular or Reserve – to those who are now serving, and of course to their families who play a significant role in supporting the Armed Forces members.
Leonardo is a supporter of the “Armed Forces Covenant”, demonstrating its pledge to the Armed Forces Community and has been awarded the UK MoD’s Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.
As defined in our pledge, we have committed to uphold in our business dealings the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant which are:
- ‘No member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen.’
- ‘In some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate for the injured or bereaved.’
We recognise the vital role our reservists play in helping to fulfil the capability of the UK Armed Forces. Our UK business is therefore committed to providing the flexibility and support to allow those who have chosen to serve their country as part of the military while at the same time as developing a career at Leonardo.
Our Armed Forces Network Group supports Leonardo UK Armed Forces veterans, reservists and spouses or partners of serving members.
