"Sustainable businesses meet the needs of the current generation while planning for the needs of future generations. Agilent's corporate values encourage us to implement such thinking in our work. These values, together with the resulting action, embody Agilent's approach to sustainability." Gail Brownell, Manager, Quality Systems

Revolutionary thinking
Agilent's purpose is to provide key enabling technologies to advance the state of the art and help our customers achieve their business results. We believe that the application of our insight, knowledge and expertise helps create products and services that improve lives. These range from providing technology used in water quality testing to helping researchers speed up the diagnosis and treatment of genetically related diseases.

Positive thinking
We strive to have a positive effect upon the society in which we live and work, and the environment that surrounds us. Our citizenship objective is to be an economic, intellectual and social asset to each nation and community in which we operate.

Real progress
Making dreams real is what Agilent is about. Our Environment and Social Responsibility Report details many of the ways we are doing this by working toward a sustainable future. Individual and collective actions help us make real progress toward our goals and vision.

There will always be more we can do, and we welcome your input on how to achieve our goals. Please use the feedback mechanisms throughout this report to let us know what you think.
