Agilent Corporate Citizenship Report 2013

Uncompromising Integrity

A Message from Bill Sullivan, CEO, Agilent Technologies

I am pleased to present Agilent Technologies' 2013 Corporate Citizenship Report. This report demonstrates the commitment of our company, leaders and employees to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. Corporate citizenship has been a consistent value throughout Agilent's 75-year heritage as an industry leader. This year's Corporate Citizenship and Responsibility Report provides details of our sustainability strategies and philanthropic efforts in 2013. I would particularly like to highlight the efforts we have made to ensure our social responsibility throughout Agilent's supply chain:

• As a reflection of today's global environment, we have updated Agilent's Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety and Social Responsibility guidelines throughout our supply chain.
  
•  Agilent suppliers are now accountable for ensuring that all products, parts, components and materials provided to us are “DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) conflict free,” in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act for Wall Street reform and consumer protection.
  
•  Our Supplier Code also reflects the latest requirements from the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Agilent's focus on sustainability continues throughout the lifecycle of our innovative products. As we move forward into next year, Agilent is committed to provide even more detailed and transparent data reporting on our corporate citizenship initiatives, as we will be using the GRI 4.0 framework in 2015.

At the end of 2014, Agilent plans to separate into two publicly traded, industry-leading companies. Agilent Technologies will focus on life sciences, diagnostics and applied markets, while Keysight Technologies will focus on electronic measurement. As part of Keysight's launch, we will ensure that the new company is all set to carry forward the rich history of Agilent's corporate social responsibility.
