Agilent Corporate Citizenship Report 2013
Uncompromising Integrity
A Message from Bill
Sullivan, CEO, Agilent Technologies |
I am pleased to present Agilent Technologies'
2013 Corporate Citizenship Report. This report
demonstrates the commitment of our company,
leaders and employees to the highest standards of
social and environmental responsibility. Corporate
citizenship has been a consistent value throughout
Agilent's 75-year heritage as an industry leader.
This year's Corporate Citizenship and Responsibility
Report provides details of our sustainability
strategies and philanthropic efforts in 2013. I would
particularly like to highlight the efforts we have
made to ensure our social responsibility throughout
Agilent's supply chain:
|
- As a reflection of today's global environment, we
have updated Agilent's Supplier Code of Conduct
to ensure compliance with Environmental, Health,
Safety and Social Responsibility guidelines
throughout our supply chain.
- Agilent suppliers are now accountable for
ensuring that all products, parts, components and
materials provided to us are a??DRC (Democratic
Republic of Congo) conflict free,a?? in accordance
with the Dodd-Frank Act for Wall Street reform
and consumer protection.
- Our Supplier Code also reflects the latest
requirements from the United Nations Guiding
Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Agilent's focus on sustainability continues
throughout the lifecycle of our innovative products.
As we move forward into next year, Agilent is
committed to provide even more detailed and
transparent data reporting on our corporate
citizenship initiatives, as we will be using the
GRI 4.0 framework in 2015.
At the end of 2014, Agilent plans to separate into
two publicly traded, industry-leading companies.
Agilent Technologies will focus on life sciences,
diagnostics and applied markets, while Keysight
Technologies will focus on electronic measurement.
As part of Keysight's launch, we will ensure that
the new company is all set to carry forward the rich
history of Agilent's corporate social responsibility.
