Agilent's purpose is to provide key enabling technologies to advance the state of the art and help our customers achieve their business results. Our strategy is to strengthen our position as the number one measurement company in the world, while leveraging our technology and expertise to provide components, software and services to attractive new markets.

Our priorities for the coming year are to return the company to financial strength; improve our customer-first culture and total customer experience; win in our markets; and strengthen our leadership and the importance of our people.

Looking ahead
Our strategy and priorities are closely linked to our desire to be a company that contributes positively to the environment and society. Our business could not exist if it were not for our great people, a clean and safe environment, sufficient natural resources and the support of the communities in which we work.

Commitment
Agilent's citizenship objective is to be an economic, intellectual and social asset to each nation and community in which we operate. Integrating the development of our business with a sustainable way of life provides competitive advantage, helps ensure long-term success and increases the opportunities available for future generations.

Our citizenship objective is woven into the structure of our business. We have developed company-wide policies that guide our employees on a range of citizenship issues. These are backed by management systems that ensure we regularly review our objectives and put our policies into practice.

We listen to our stakeholders and consider their suggestions as we develop our approach to social and environmental sustainability.

Dreams made real
Our mission is to help turn our customers' dreams of human advancement into reality. We are making those dreams real today at Agilent by helping to build a sustainable future.
