The strength of our company is greater than the sum of its extraordinary parts - people, customers, suppliers and communities. Combining to form a synergy of diversity that promotes innovative thinking.
Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action principles and policies are demonstrated in the practice of Northrop Grumman values and are incorporated into the daily operations of the company in every personnel decision and action.
