How We Approach ESG
Net Zero
Since our founding more than 20 years ago, we've worked to reduce our energy, waste, water and CO2 emissions. Now we're taking it a step further. We're proud to announce that we will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is about recognizing and honoring all dimensions of employee identity. When employees feel connected and included, they do their best work. Our goal is to continue to drive strategies, initiatives, and programming that empower all employees to be successful at work.
Community
The vision and mission of the Agilent Foundation is to advance the quality of life in areas where the need is great and we are uniquely positioned to have a measurable impact—from ensuring safe water and food to addressing climate change and supporting STEM education for underrepresented communities.
Sustainable Lab Solutions
We develop our products with resource conservation and carbon footprint reduction in mind, enabling scientists to meet their sustainability goals. We show scientists proven ways to incorporate sustainability into their daily work without compromising results.
Supply Chain
Agilent expects its suppliers to act with uncompromising integrity and to follow all appropriate global and regional laws and regulations. We partner with our suppliers to ensure they operate sustainably, responsibly, and transparently in accordance with the same standards we require of ourselves.
