Environmental, health and safety (EHS)
We manage EHS issues using a structure that involves several departments at many levels of the Agilent organization.

Agilent Quality and Engineering Services (QES) and Global Workplace Services jointly provide leadership for Agilent's environment and sustainability programs. Agilent QES reports into Agilent's Chief Operating Officer, and Workplace Services reports into Agilent's Chief Financial Officer. Success is achieved through active partnership with each of Agilent's business groups.

Agilent QES is responsible for the company-wide EHSMS, the ISO 14001 program, the Product Market Access Department (which includes the Product Stewardship Program and Product Regulations and Compliance) and the Supplier Environmental and Social Responsibility Management Program. It also manages a variety of other related projects, such as the Environment and Social Responsibility Report.

Workplace Services manages the environmental and occupational health and safety issues associated with our global site operations. It includes regional and site EHS and Facilities managers as well as staff. These EHS and Facilities professionals work closely with our business groups to ensure the needs of the businesses are met.

Social
Social and employee-related areas of Agilent are managed by a variety of functions, including Community Affairs, Public Affairs and Human Resources.

Economic
Economic performance is looked after by the Finance, Corporate Financial Reporting and Investor Relations functions.

Citizenship
The organizations mentioned above and other pertinent groups within the company contribute to a cross-functional Corporate Citizenship team that meets to address issues of company-wide interest, such as the coordination of Agilent's citizenship strategy.
