Leonardo Response

We take comments about workplace culture and colleague experience seriously, as they do not reflect the standards we aim to uphold across the business. Leonardo is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and professional working environment, and many employees report positive experiences across our teams. We do however recognise that experiences can vary, and we would encourage you to raise specific concerns through internal channels or with HR so they can be reviewed in more detail and addressed where appropriate.
