"The success of our EHSMS is based on continual improvement. We review our system each quarter and consider whether there are emerging issues which provide new opportunities for us to improve our environmental performance." Alvaro Rego, Manager, Management Systems and Sustainability

Policy commitment
Agilent is committed to acting in an environmentally responsible manner with regard to our operations, products and services.

We implement a range of policies and procedures to achieve these goals. Our EHSMS provides us with the means to assess and manage our EHS impacts. It also provides a framework for us to review regularly the nature and extent of our current and future impacts.

Target setting
As part of our review process, we set objectives and targets on an annual basis to keep our practices in line with business developments and external emerging issues. In addition to our annual review with senior management, we conduct quarterly updates to evaluate current status and emerging issues so we can plan accordingly.

Agilent recognizes that environmental progress is best achieved through broad collaborative efforts. We work with external agencies and organizations as policies and regulations are developed for reducing negative environmental impacts. We help customers too, through the provision of innovative products and services that contribute to a sustainable future for us all.
