2020 CSR report highlights commitment to employees, customers, partners, and the global community

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 22, 2021

Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: A) today issued its 21st annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report. The report highlights the company’s progress in critical environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas as well its commitment to employees, customers, partners, and the global community during 2020, despite the effects of COVID-19.

Titled “Delivering on Our Promises,” the report reinforces Agilent’s commitment to no job losses or salary cuts due to the pandemic, while continuing to meet customer needs and delivering exceptional customer service.

“The theme of this report resonates so well with Agilent’s mission – to provide trusted answers and insights that advance the quality of life,” said Mike McMullen, Agilent president and CEO. “We’re always working to deliver on our promises, whether in improving our environmental operations, creating a culture that is more diverse and inclusive, or ensuring strong governance across the company. The pandemic reminded us that we need to truly live our corporate values so we can improve as a corporate citizen every year.”

Throughout the report, Agilent highlights stories that showcase the spirit of its employees facing challenges during the past year, including the story of 14 employees caught between two COVID-19 lockdowns in Singapore and Malaysia, one employee who used his 3D printing skills to develop materials for frontline workers and another employee who became a father for the first time.

Additional highlights of this year’s report include:

  • Agilent offset over 2,100 metric tons of carbon through energy projects.
  • The company also offset annual GHG emissions by over 1,500 metric tons through solar photovoltaic generation at Agilent sites.
  • The donation of more than $9 million to universities, hospitals, research and charitable organizations.
  • The planned investment of more than $1 billion in R&D within three years.
  • Engaging in expanded diversity work with Patrice Jimerson, associate vice president, Diversity and Inclusion.
  • Reporting information aligned with the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB) format for the first time.

Agilent’s 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data relating to its environmental and social performance during fiscal year 2020 (Nov. 1, 2019, to Oct. 31, 2020). Data is recorded on a companywide basis unless otherwise indicated. Agilent publishes its Corporate Social Responsibility report annually and the 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility report is prepared in accordance with GRI standards: core option and SASB Standards.
