Agilent Corporate Citizenship Report 2012

A Message from Bill Sullivan, CEO, Agilent Technologies

Agilent Technologies’ 2012 Corporate Citizenship Report demonstrates the commitment of our company, leaders and employees to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. We are proud to recognize corporate citizenship as a fundamental value throughout Agilent’s long, almost 75-year heritage as an industry leader. Agilent’s Corporate Citizenship and Responsibility Report provides details of our sustainability strategies and philanthropic efforts in 2012. I would like to highlight just a few of our accomplishments from the past year. For the first time, we conducted a greenhouse gases “hot spot” analysis throughout our indirect supply chain. Our goal is to increase Agilent’s use of suppliers who are

environmental leaders in their respective categories. This is one step in our long journey to lower Agilent’s carbon footprint and reduce our companywide greenhouse gas emissions.

We have updated Agilent’s supplier code of conduct to ensure compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety and Social Responsibility guidelines throughout our supply chain. Suppliers are now accountable for ensuring that their subcontractors also comply with EHSSR guidelines, with responsibility for taking corrective action as necessary.

I am especially pleased to report that Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group now has more than 2,000 products designed to be compliant with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. This is four years ahead of the 2017 regulatory deadline for test and measurement products. Almost every part of Agilent contributed to this effort, which encompassed data collection, technical capabilities, process development and communications.

Agilent now includes a corporate citizenship overview in all new employee orientation, ensuring that social and environmental responsibility will continue to be a part of our culture moving forward. We are proud to support our customers, investors and communities in making our world a better, healthier and more sustainable place to live.
