DISCLOSURE ON MANAGEMENT APPROACH

Agilent's policies, values, organization, and business management systems apply across all our global businesses. They are designed to:

• Reduce our negative impacts on the environment
• Protect the occupational health and safety interests of our employees
• Ensure customer requirements are met
• Enhance our value to our communities
• Ensure the highest levels of quality in our products and services
• Increase our competitiveness
• Create a consistent approach across business groups, where applicable
• Meet the expectations of our stakeholders
• Conduct business in an ethical manner

Agilent considers external charters, principles, and guidelines that have been developed through multi-stakeholder processes to guide our business activities. We also participate in a variety of intra- and cross-industry forums to address emerging issues, develop industry-wide approaches to social and environmental challenges, and cooperate with governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders on common concerns.

As part of our Corporate Citizen Objectives, Agilent strives to be an economic, intellectual, and social asset to each nation and community where we conduct business. Agilent has been consciously and strongly committed to community involvement through many initiatives - Agilent Technologies Foundation,  Agilent Giving, and other signature programs aimed at giving back to the community.
