Letter from the CEO
Our analytical and clinical laboratory instruments, technology,
consumables, and services touch over 265,000 labs worldwide. This
enables us to have a meaningful impact on science and society—from supporting improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment toensuring the food we eat and the water we drink is safe. It’s all part ofour mission to advance the quality of life.
The spirit behind our mission also applies to our operations andto our products. It drives our efforts to be a leading sustainable lab
partner to our customers, to work toward a clean-energy future, andto be a top employer of diverse and inclusive talent.
Our 2023 ESG report, “Advancing Great Science with Sustainable
Solutions,” showcases the progress we’ve made in these areas,
and why scientists around the world continue to rate us highlyon sustainability.
I am proud of our progress, achievements, and the commitmentof Agilent team members who made it possible. Below are highlightsfrom these efforts, and I invite you to learn more in the pages ofthis report.

A Leading Sustainable Lab Partner
Agilent has the most comprehensive circular economy programfor instruments in our sector, known as the Certified Pre-Owned
Instruments Program. Last year, we refurbished 5,400 instruments,
a 25% increase over the previous year. That’s 5,400 instruments thatwill continue to be used for science, rather than going into a landfill.
Customer demand for the program also is growing—we bought backover 3,600 used instruments from our customers, an 80% increaseover the previous year.
And we further expanded the number of instruments with the
My Green Lab Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT)Label. The label indicates the environmental footprint of our products,
information that is becoming increasingly important for customers
pursuing their own environmental goals. Our ACT-certified products
now account for 40% of Agilent’s instrument revenues.

Agilent 2023 ESG Report

This report also details the large and growing number of Agilent
products that help reduce waste and energy consumption. For
example, our Agilent Cary 3500 Flexible UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
reduces the use of consumables and reagents. For this reason,
scientists selected it as the 2023 Sustainable Product of the Year.

Path to Net-Zero Emissions
Last year, the Science Based Targets initiative validated our
net-zero emissions targets. I’m particularly proud that since 2019
we have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 8% even as ourrevenue has grown more than 30%. We also completed a major
solar-array installation in Delaware and further reduced emissions
by increasing the volume of products we ship by sea rather thanair. I’m also delighted to see our supplier partners joining us on amulti-year effort to reduce our Scope 3 emissions from purchased
goods and services.

Top Employer of Diverse and Inclusive Talent
At Agilent, we’ve long been known for our outstanding work culture,
and we continue to invest in employees. Last year, we earned evenhigher scores from our employees in our annual Great Place toWork survey, achieving results very close to the top 25 employers
globally. Forbes, Fortune, and U.S. News and World Report named
us a top employer, and Forbes once again recognized us as a top
employer for women.
We continued to invest in initiatives that support diversity andinclusion and saw steady improvement in key metrics. We remained
strong on gender-based pay equity. I am also proud of how engaged
employees are with our paid volunteer time off program. The
number of hours they volunteered grew 55% over the previous
year, contributing to their well-being and to the strength of thecommunities in which we operate.
In closing, I want to thank our employees for executing on theseimportant advances in sustainability and our customers forproviding the inspiration and motivation to make tomorrow better
than today. The future of sustainable science is bright—and filledwith possibilities.

Instrument Recycling
and Refurbishment
Our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Instruments Programkeeps high-quality instruments out of landfills by putting
them back into the lab. Last year, we celebrated the 10th
anniversary of the program, marking $500 million in salesof certified pre-owned instruments. That’s 10 years ofenabling more customers to experience Agilent instrument
quality, performance, and reliability while contributing to amore circular economy.

Trade-In and Buyback

Refurbished Instruments

As our instruments reach the end of their firstuseful life, we offer customers the opportunity
to return used instruments for cash or credit for
their next Agilent purchase through our Trade-In
and Buyback Program. Agilent makes the returnprocess easy by providing labor to deinstall,in addition to packaging and shipping at no
additional cost to customers. Products are
frequently packaged and shipped in a reusable,collapsible, pallet-based system, reducing thecost and environmental impact of shipping
empty boxes.

Specially trained Agilent engineers refurbish
used instruments and certify them to thesame original instrument manufacturing
specifications. CPO instruments ship with
up-to-date software, new PCs, start-up tools,
and accessories. Every CPO instrument isbacked by the same installation, training,support services, and 12-month warranty that
accompany our new instruments.

CPO is part of Agilent’s Life Sciences and Applied Markets
Group and an important source of strategic value for Agilent.
CPO is divided into three areas:

Used Instrument Parts• Marketing and Business Development
markets and sells refurbished instruments to customers.
• Operations
refurbishes used instruments to like-new condition.
• Sourcing
ensures we have sufficient un-refurbished instrument inventory tomeet CPO demand, sourcing from customers through our Trade-In
and Buyback Program, and internally from instruments used during
R&D or for customer demos.

In 2022, we opened a new refurbishment centerat our campus in Singapore, in addition to ourcurrent capabilities in the Americas and Europe.
With this new center, we have dramaticallyincreased our ability to serve customer needsin the Asia Pacific region for both trade-ins andinstrument purchases.

We continued broadening the range of products
eligible for trade-in and buyback, which now
includes more than 200 Agilent products from
11 different product lines. We also accept someproducts outside of our product portfolio that
we do not refurbish and resell.
Since officially launching the Trade-In andBuyback Program in 2018, we have served
over 1,200 unique customers across the world,with 25% being repeat customers. In 2023, we
increased our instrument returns by 30%.

While we refurbish most of the systems wetake back, our parts harvesting and liquidation
are also important to extending the life of our
products and minimizing landfill waste. Ourinternal teams test and refurbish harvested
parts, which are then used by our field service
organization to keep instruments running
longer. Liquidation through a third-party partner
is an important channel for managing excess
inventory or parts or instruments that are
not in our portfolio. It enables us to provide
customers with credit toward an Agilent
purchase for competitor instruments as part of
our Trade-In Program.

our green certified sites, we can be transparent
about our own sustainability journey and whererequired, showcase our eco-friendly innovations
and workflow solutions that will help enable
them to optimize their operations withoutcompromising on quality results.

Product Lifecycle
Last year we completed a pilot life cycle
assessment product study with Environmental
Resources Management of an Agilent liquid
chromatography instrument. The study gave
us insight into the carbon footprint of the
instrument from the extraction of materials
to the final production of the product, known
as “cradle to grave.”
It also examined emissions associatedwith transporting the instrument to thecustomer; the use of the instrument over its
lifetime; and aspects of end-of-life, such as
recycling and refurbishing. We’re now using
the study results to inform how we prioritize
and advance sustainability throughout thelife of our instruments. To establish a baselinefrom which to set future goals and targets,
we are collecting additional data on sustainableproduct development by surveying R&D
managers on the integration of environmental
considerations into their new product programs.
Our vacuum products division provides a good
example of deploying this holistic approachto deliver a more sustainable product to ourcustomers. Specialists from manufacturing,product engineering, packaging, and EH&S
worked together to advance numerous
initiatives to improve sustainability of our
vacuum products, including new packaging
for replacement parts, solar panels for our
manufacturing facilities, ocean shipment
program, shortened testing phases, wastewater
management, and a new washing plant.

Environmental
Management Organization
Agilent operates an EHS management
system (EHSMS) designed to minimize
adverse environmental and occupational
health and safety impacts and ensure ongoingcompliance with external regulations andinternal EHS standards, while meeting theneeds of key stakeholders. Our EHSMS isaligned to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 and covers
our design, development, manufacturing, andsourcing activities worldwide. Sites included
within the scope of the EHSMS are determinedthrough systematic risk analysis and take
into consideration the nature and scale ofsite operations.
As a matrix organization, environmental
sustainability at Agilent is managed
collaboratively across functions, businesses,
and geographies. Agilent’s Workplace
Services and Order Fulfillment and Supply
Chain divisions have primary responsibility,with complementary roles for managing
environmental impacts related to ouroperations and meeting corporate andcustomer sustainability goals.
Agilent’s Global EHS organization, as partof WPS, maintains the EHSMS and related
external certifications, and oversees ourEHS programs, inspections for EHS hazards,
and periodic risk assessments and audits.
Global EHS is also responsible for managing
performance against our sustainability
strategy, goals, and key performance indicatorsand identifies facility-level projects as partof the group’s oversight of our corporate realestate strategy.
Agilent 2023 ESG Report

Agilent’s Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain
division (OFS) collaborates with Global EHS on
assessing risks and opportunities, implementing
mitigation measures, and meeting corporate
and customer sustainability goals. The groupis responsible for identifying and implementing
sustainability initiatives for site-level operations,procurement, and logistics that reduce resourceuse, waste, and emissions.
The cross-functional, cross-business NPI/R&D
Sustainability team works to ensure Agilent
products are the industry-leading choice toreduce customers’ environmental footprint, while
maintaining successful laboratory operations
by designing and developing our products for
improved efficiency and sustainability.

New Baseline Yearfor Reporting Progress
We’ve updated the baseline year ofreporting progress for emissions,energy, waste and water from 2014 to2019. This new 2019 baseline year ismore representative of Agilent’s global
operations and aligned with our goals
approved by the Science Based Targets
initiative. We also began reporting
energy in megawatt hours (MWh)rather than gigajoules (GJ). Our energy
and emissions data covers 95% of ourglobal operations. All emissions data
are reported in metric tons.

Path to Net-Zero
Emissions
Agilent has committed to achieving net-zerogreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Last
year, we reached an important milestone with the
Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) approving
our near and long-term targets. Our interim, netzero emissions reduction targets cover our direct
and indirect emissions, including those fromour value chain, which represent most of our
total emissions. We have reduced Scope 1 and2 emissions 8% since 2019—even as ourrevenue has increased roughly 30% over thesame period.
Our emissions reductions strategy includes
investing more in renewable energy at our sites
and facilities, moving our car fleets from gas toelectric, reducing business travel, and moving
more freight via sea or rail.
For example, in 2023, we undertook andcompleted a major solar array panel
installation at our Little Falls site in
Delaware. The project includes 2,352 solar
panels that will generate 1,325,000 kilowatt
hours per year and offset 939 metric tonsof carbon dioxide. The installation wascompleted in 2023 and is expected to be
fully operational in 2024.

CEO Letter | Sustainable Solutions | Our ESG Approach | Environmental | Social | Governance | AppendicesWe are also engaging with our supply chain to
identify which suppliers have the largest carbon
footprint, working with those suppliers to reduce
emissions, and factoring carbon footprint into
supplier selection decisions.

Science Based Targets Initiative
Validates Agilent’s Targets
Agilent’s near and long-term targets for reachingnet-zero greenhouse gas emissions have been
approved by the SBTi. The targets support theambitious goal to limit planetary warming to 1.5°C
above pre-industrial levels.
SBTi is an independent organization that validates
company emissions targets to ensure they meetthe criteria required to prevent the worst effects ofclimate change. The SBTi partners with the CDP, theUnited Nations Global Compact, World Resources
Institute, and World Wide Fund for Nature in defining
and validating targets grounded in climate science.

We’re measuring our progress toward our netzero goals with interim targets in accordance with
the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a comprehensive
global standardized framework to measure andmanage greenhouse gas emissions. Disclosureson our progress are verified annually by anindependent third party. Last year that verification
was conducted by Apex Companies, LLC.

Protecting the Environment
Through Our Supply Chain
Engaging Suppliers on Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 makes up more than 90% of our GHG emissions, and meeting
our reduction goals will require close collaboration across our value chain.
Our top priority is reducing emissions from purchased goods and services
and capital goods.
In 2022, the Agilent Procurement ESG Program team officially launched
the first phase of our long-term roadmap for supplier engagement,
measuring the baseline of supplier emissions contributions andidentifying top emitters among our suppliers.

In addition, we’re also establishingfoundational processes and procedures tomanage sustainable procurement, including
setting emissions goals, creating models
for ongoing supplier engagement, andintegrating sustainability criteria into supplierperformance reviews.
Others are recognizing these efforts. The
environmental public disclosure nonprofit
CDP issued Agilent an A- rating on supplierengagement, which acknowledges the bestpractices we’ve implemented to reduce
Scope 3 emissions.

In 2023, we took the program further, advancing thefollowing key supplier engagement activities:
Established a supplier engagement framework model

Assessed the carbon maturity of over 200 suppliers

Updated our supplier relationship management and scorecard
review process to include sustainability criteria

Hosted nine forums with our key suppliers to communicate
our net-zero goals and set expectations.

Completed 10 roundtable sessions with morethan 50 suppliers
During Supplier Day events and face-to-face summits withmore than 100 suppliers, we held special sessions to sharesustainability best practices in the supply chain
Agilent 2023 ESG Report

In 2024, we will continue to prioritize ourwork with suppliers with the greatest potential
to reduce our Scope 3 footprint by sharing
best practices, communicating expectations,and collaborating to reach these sharedenvironmental goals.

Reducing Emissions ThroughSea Shipping
Since 2019, we’ve reduced our emissions fromproduct delivery, largely by moving shipmentsfrom air, which is more energy intensive, tomonthly sea shipments. Through supply chain
management, we can ensure our products aredelivered to our customers efficiently and safely
by sea, providing the same level of service while
reducing our carbon footprint. Other tactics

we used to achieve this include using groundshipment with trucks powered by naturalgas, rather than diesel, and less-than-truckload
services, which consolidate many smaller
shipments into a single truckload for greater
efficiency.

Role of OFS in Advancing
Environmental Sustainability
Agilent’s Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain
division, known as OFS, created a multiyear
roadmap for developing and implementing
a sustainability program. The focus for 2023
was achieving alignment and mobilization
across the organization with the objectivesof engaging the workforce and suppliers,
integrating sustainability goals and metrics into
our strategy, harmonizing our activities with
R&D and product marketing, and identifying
actions with quick and high-impact results.
Over 700 employees have participated inour sustainability education program. Theirwork has already resulted in a substantial
increase in continuous improvement (CI)sustainability projects across the organization,
generating cost savings of $1.3 million. Other
sustainable process improvements in 2023
include implementing automated bath cleaning
processes that saves 30,000 gallons of water
per year, installing building sensors that reduceenergy consumption, replacing paper lab
notebooks with digital notebooks, and adopting
a new washing process that saves 90,000
gallons of water each year.

supply chain, such as codes of conduct
and labor policies, see Supply Chain
Policies and Practices.

Waste Management

Recycling Acetonitrile, a key raw material
in oligonucleotide manufacturing

Waste Management Progress

Agilent prioritizes eliminating and minimizing hazardousand non-hazardous waste from procurement andproduction; adopts responsible, efficient, and effective
waste management practices in compliance withenvironmental regulations; engages in employee
training and communication on waste elimination andminimization; and tracks and monitors metrics to manage
performance against our goals throughout the year.

As our oligonucleotide therapeutics production
capacity has grown in recent years, ourengineering team has explored ways toimprove processing waste containing our mostcommon raw material, acetonitrile, in a moresustainable and efficient manner.

We saw steady progress in 2023, and a notable increase in the amount of recycled
hazardous waste due to the new acetonitrile recycling system we designed andimplemented at our Frederick oligonucleotide manufacturing facility.

In 2023, Agilent achieved 94% solid waste diversion
against our 95% target. We achieved this through waste
reduction measures such as:
Switching from paper-based to digital documentation

Reducing scrap and expired inventory

Removing redundant steps

Conducting chemicals risk assessments

Finding alternatives to hazardous materials

Acetonitrile is a key solvent used in the
production of oligos, the active pharmaceuticalingredient in nucleic acid therapeutics, which
are used to target and eliminate symptoms ofchronic diseases like cancer.
Our previous approach collected process waste
to include acetonitrile as a single bulk organic
waste stream. The disposal of this waste
stream by a third party was costly and sent a
valuable material to waste.
To address this, our engineers devised a way tosegregate and collect acetonitrile from portionsof our process waste stream. This system
improvement has already resulted in tens of
thousands of gallons of acetonitrile collected,
which can be reused as product by otherindustries or reclaimed to produce a higher
purity acetonitrile product.
We project the system will eliminate up to
80,000 gallons of organic waste per year. It
also reduces Agilent’s waste disposal cost andintroduces acetonitrile back into the market forreuse as a raw material.

Water Management
We track and monitor municipal water usage
data quarterly, where possible, to monitor
performance against goals and take prompt
action if any remedial action is necessary at
individual sites. Our Turin (Italy) and Manesar(India) sites extract groundwater for operations
using local aquifers, unlike Agilent’s other sitesthat use municipal water.
Since 2019, we have reduced our water
consumption per operational square foot by
19%. We have set a new goal to reduce water
consumption by 20% by 2030 from a baseline
year of 2019.
The discharge of water varies from site to site,
but can be attributed to domestic sanitation,
production operations and cooling systems.
Typically, a small proportion of discharge froman on-site water treatment plant is approved
with local permits and consideration forenvironmental impacts.
Surface water discharge is directed toward
local surface water infrastructure, ensuring theseparation of potential contaminants from oursite. When water is discharged into the sewer
system, we carefully consider factors such as
evaporation and irrigation of site grounds.

Sustainable Packaging
We strive to minimize our post-consumer waste throughthe design and development of sustainable packaging ofour products. We continuously evaluate opportunities
to replace existing solutions with sustainable packaging
options. Our approach to more eco-friendly packaging
focuses on three key areas: optimizing design, sourcing
sustainably, and supporting recycling.

Sustainable Packaging Approach and Progress
Agilent launched the Sustainable Packaging Playbook in 2022, which provides a framework for ourteams to identify sustainable packaging options that maintain product quality, safety, and integrity. The
Playbook contains a growing library of sustainable packaging case studies, best practices, and examples
from around the company. It provides a shared resource of knowledge to further advance our packaging
initiatives. Below are some of the packaging advances we made in 2023:

We completed the redesign of our GC1 Packed Column box, replacing the foam cushioning with apaper mesh alternative and replacing the paper guide with a digital version. This environmentallyfriendly swap also saves thousands in costs annually.
Our 5500a FTIR Flow Cell Stanhope instrument was previously packed with Instapak foam.
We replaced it with a polyethylene foam, a more sustainable material that is composed of 60%
recycled material.
Packaging for our Easi portfolio of 116 products used for calibrating chromatography machines
have a complex design made entirely out of plastic. In 2023, we completed our redesign of the
packaging to be plastic-free and easier to disassemble and recycle. We estimate a reduction ofalmost 300kg of plastic waste a year.

Optimizing Design: “right size” packaging by minimizing the
packaging size and volume of materials used, and eliminate
unnecessary packaging.

Sustainable Sourcing: maximize the use of recycled andsustainably sourced renewable content, enhance material healthby removing priority chemicals and other restricted packaging
content, and eliminate single-use plastic materials.

Supporting Recycling: design packaging that is easy torecycle, incorporate recycled content, and improve customer
communication on packaging recyclability.

Agilent 2023 ESG Report

In 2018, we began replacing popcorn and foam fillers with kraft paper. Since then, we’ve rolled out
this practice to our largest logistics and manufacturing facilities, including two more last year andresulting in a reduction of 240kg per year of plastic-based material. We also replaced our plastic
packaging tools with paper-based and other sustainable substitutes, a small but impactful stepwhen scaled across our global operations.
We eliminated single use plastics from our chemical standards kits, a plastic sleeve known as a“cracker” that customers grip when snapping off the top of the chemical standard ampoule. The
result was not only a more sustainable product, but also a more cost effective one, as the new
product saves thousands of hours in labor and materials costs.
We eliminated paper chemical standards labels and replaced them with QR codes on product labels.
This has saved 700,000 pieces of paper at one facility annually, in addition to saving costs on printing,paper, and labor. Our plans include removing them from most sites that produce consumables by 2025.

HBCUs. In addition to having partnerships withindividual institutions, we also work closelywith our employee network groups (ENGs) toreach diverse talent through their members andpersonal networks.
To assess the effectiveness of our recruiting
efforts, we analyze data related to diversity
hiring versus availability. We review attrition
and retention percentages by demographic
and the selection process for formal
development programming. We also tracksocial media reach.

Agilent Foundation Support for Diversity in STEM
The Agilent Foundation continued building our partnership with Delaware State University (DSU), hosting with
the Agilent Council of Black Employees a “DSU Day” at our Little Falls site for 34 students from DSU, including
17 that are fully funded by Agilent’s scholarship program. The students were treated to a full day of activities
that included lab tours, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. The day also kicked off the mentorshipprogram with DSU by pairing Agilent mentors, who can provide academic and career guidance to the students.

Our engagement with and funding of nonprofit education organizations are helping more womenand underrepresented students pursue studies in STEM disciplines. Below are some of the grants

Talent Development

In the past year, each of our employees
completed an average of 31 hours of training.

Our talent development program is criticalto Agilent’s success and important to ourattraction, retention, and growth of all
employees. Our Global Human Resources
executive team meets regularly with company
officers and Business HR leaders to validate thetalent development strategy and gather input
on business learning and development needs,
gaps, and potential solutions.

Our commitment to excellence in training is
exemplified by our partnerships with leading
educational and training institutions. These
collaborations are designed to ensure thatthe rigor of our training programs are relevant
and provide our employees with a learning
experience that is both challenging anddirectly applicable to their professional growth.
Together with our learning partners, we arededicated to fostering a culture of continuous
learning and innovation.

We prioritize our learning and development
investments around critical capabilities andskills needed for the roles of today and thejobs of tomorrow. The HR team provides
the strategy, resources, and tools for talentdevelopment; in turn, Agilent leaders invest in
the development and growth of their teams.
This drives retention, helps employees achieve
their ambitions, and enables our company todeliver results.
Core training programs are required of all
employees and leaders. This foundation oflearning ensures all employees and leaders
have the same baseline knowledge and skills
to achieve at Agilent.
Our culture of continuous development instills
in our employees the behaviors that bring ourvalues to life. We encourage our people to stayabreast of current research and technology,
while enhancing their existing skills. We also
place special emphasis on training managers
at all levels to effectively communicate, mentor,
and reinforce our values and culture.

Learning Management
The Learning and Development Governance
Board at Agilent makes sure our learning
strategy is aligned to Agilent’s businessstrategy. The Board comprises members frommajor business areas and functions, and meetsregularly to coordinate and collaborate on
management of the program to ensure we’reapplying best practices and pinpointing areas
for improvement and refinement. For example,
last year we took a variety of steps to make thelearning management system even more user
friendly and seamless, saving employees time
while optimizing their learning experience.

CEO Letter | Sustainable Solutions | Our ESG Approach | Environmental | Social | Governance | Appendices30

Training and Professional
Development Programs
Agilent employees can take courses on
topics to excel in their current position or todevelop skills for other positions. Many of
our employees have long and varied careers at
Agilent, thanks in part to our comprehensive setof education and training offerings. Programs
are offered in a variety of formats: face-to-faceclassroom experiences, on-the-job learning,
virtual classroom events, and self-paced
online courses.
Our development program begins withonboarding. The onboarding program at Agilent
is designed to provide new employees with awelcoming and comprehensive introduction
to our business operations, organization, andculture. It lays the foundation for a successful
and fulfilling career with Agilent.
Our leadership program is designed to build
critical skills in communication, decision-making,and strategic thinking. We provide formal
learning programs and educational resources
such as business journals, mentoring, coaching,and online forums for sharing best practices.
Together, these resources enable our leaders to
be more effective by developing new behaviors
and approaches, strengthening their current
capabilities, and directing their future growth.
Through our Developing@Agilent portal, Agilent
provides a comprehensive range of professional
development and training resources for all
employees—including videos, guided online
activities, and classes—that align with our daily
work and Agilent’s expectations, and provide theAgilent 2023 ESG Report

tools employees need to follow their desired
career path. Our job-specific development
portals include all resources for sales,
marketing, customer service, finance, and orderfulfillment and supply chain management.

Employee engagement at Agilent is key tocreating a positive and fulfilling employee
experience and a work environment that
fosters employee satisfaction, collaboration,
productivity, and retention.

Employees can access our Educational
Assistance Program for financial and otherassistance to pursue external academicclasses or degree programs relevant toAgilent’s business needs. They can also takeadvantage of our partnerships with major
universities to enroll in a distance learning
degree program.

Engagement surveys are a valuable tool used
to hear from our constituents and incorporate
their feedback into programming, events,
development opportunities, best practices,and culture.

When it comes to performance enablement,
we encourage our managers to champion
employees’ career development by guiding
them, exploring options, and driving action as
they work to achieve their development goals.
We ask managers to have conversations with
their direct reports that facilitate insights
and awareness, explore possibilities andopportunities, inspire responses that drive
employee-owned action, and generate
feedback.
Goal setting directly aligns each employee’s
work to the organization’s strategic priorities
and initiatives. Employees develop and initiate
conversation with their manager around goals,
resulting in a greater sense of ownership andengagement in goal progress and achievement.
Managers are also expected to work with theirteam members to create development goals
and plans, using a consistent approach andholding the view that everyone on their teamcan reach their full potential. Managers meetwith team members to align on development
for their current role and career aspirations.

The survey provides valuable insights into
the organization’s strengths and areas thatneed improvement. It provides functional,
business, and regional leaders at various levels
with data on how they compare against the
average within our organization and with othercomparable companies.

mentorship program across the company
after receiving positive results from an earlier
pilot project.

Engaging with Leadership
One way we strengthen employees’ connection
to our mission and values is through regularconversations with leaders. For example,
Agilent’s CEO hosts annual town halls where
employees can ask questions and share theirthoughts and concerns, providing a platform
for open communication and engagement
between employees and leadership.
Additionally, all leaders hold quarterlyinteractive meetings where they engage with
employees in a more informal setting.

Our participation rate was 85%, and 89% ofparticipating employees indicated that Agilent
is a Great Place to Work. Additionally, Agilent
received an overall positive average score of
85%, only one point below the 86% averagescore of the world’s top 25 companies. Agilent’s
top strengths include a high level of trust in
management, recognition of honest mistakes
as a part of doing business, and the ability for
employees to take time off work when needed.
Each year the CEO shares the survey resultswith all employees, and division leaders provide
additional details to their teams. Managers
work with their teams to create an action
plan to continuously improve on the results
throughout the year. At the corporate level,
we review processes, operations, and othersystems to see how we can further improve.
For example, in early 2024 we launched a

Engaging Through Giving
and Volunteerism
The Agilent Foundation encourages andhonors Agilent employee philanthropic
engagement by matching their contributions
up to $25,000 per year to a wide range of local,
national, and international charities throughthe Benevity giving platform. Agilent’s global
matching gift program provides no minimum
donation requirements.
Last year, 2,588 employees supported over
2,981 causes. Annual contributions for the
program totaled $4.3 million, of which theAgilent Foundation contributed $2.3 million.
Approximately $406,000 of the Foundation’scontribution includes funds donated throughour “Dollars for Doers” program, in which
employees who volunteer during non-workhours can earn a credit of $25 per hourthat they can donate to an eligible cause of
their choice.

Team members organized and hosted a Volunteer Fair where employees
discovered local volunteer opportunities. Each organization was hosted by an
Agilent worker who volunteers and feels passionate about their cause. Around
200 people attended the event, in addition to one gigantic black rabbit, two
fluffy bunnies, and three sweet guinea pigs.

All employees are also eligible for six days of
paid volunteer time off per year. Our volunteer
programs encourage employees to get involvedin their communities and make a positive
impact, fostering a sense of engagement
and fulfillment that goes beyond material
compensation and benefits, and offering a
sense of greater purpose.
In 2023, 1,965 employees volunteered 42,134
hours. Among employees volunteering on theirown time, we saw a 55% increase in hours
volunteered and a 44% increase in volunteers
over the previous year.
We are proud to share a few examples that
illustrate the many ways Agilent employees use
our program to give back to the community.
Agilent 2023 ESG Report

25 Agilent employees from our Santa Clara headquarters spent a day packing
food for Second Harvest, a nonprofit that serves families in need throughout
the San Francisco Bay Area. Employees volunteer in large groups for theorganization every six months. It’s a time to give back, bond over a sharedcause, and help those in our community.

CEO Letter | Sustainable Solutions | Our ESG Approach | Environmental | Social | Governance | Appendices

21 Agilent volunteers drove 172 miles to a rural junior high school in southwest China to inspire students
to pursue their science dreams. About 90% of the 300 students are so-called left-behind children whoseparents have moved to a city for work, leaving them to live with grandparents or other relatives. Agilent
employees conducted science experiments, played games and music, and shared career advice with thestudents to show how much they care.

Individual employees also volunteer their time toward causes importantto them. Steffen from our facility in Waldbronn, Germany, completed 1.5
years of training to become certified as a professional clown to bring joy
to residents of nursing homes.

They engage their senses to elicit happy but long forgotten memories.
For example, they brought a potted plant to an avid gardener, a mossy
piece of damp wood to someone who loved hiking in the forest, andfresh wood shavings to a former carpenter.

He and his clown troupe—they always perform in pairs—go to great
lengths to help the residents feel special, many of whom experience
isolation, ailing health, and dementia.They sing traditional songs fromtheir era, they dance and play instruments, and connect with jokes
and humor.

When the troupe has completed their visit, the residents—and workersof the nursing home—are livelier and happier than before. Every two
weeks, they visit the same residents again to continue spreading
kindness and joy.

Last year, a group of employees across divisions worked together tocoordinate donations of lab equipment, including three high-performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC) systems and associated software, toresearchers in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. The group works
together throughout the year to identify systems that may be well suitedfor donation.
The systems are then sent to Seeding Labs, a nonprofit that directs
those donations to a network of research institutions in developing
countries with the greatest needs. Since 2021, we’ve donated 198 items
to 17 university departments in seven developing countries.
The Agilent Foundation also donated $25,000 to Seeding Labs tobuild scientific infrastructure in developing countries. It ties into theFoundation’s mission of supporting STEM education and improving
health and environmental issues in lower-income countries.

Diversity and Inclusion
The Agilent Diversity Office is based within the global
Human Resources function and reports to the chief
human resources officer. Diversity and inclusion are
strategic priorities within Agilent’s business plan andare guided by five pillars:

Attract

Additionally, Agilent’s diversity and inclusion
efforts are tied not only to our organization’svalues but also to leadership expectations of
how we manage people and build connection
and belonging across all dimensions of identity.

D&I Governance

Identify and hire diverse talent

RetainBuild inclusive teams and support the employee experience

EngageCultivate a sense of organizational belonging

Develop

Introduce inclusive leadership and develop cultural competenceHighlight

Give diverse talent access and visibility to leaders

Agilent 2023 ESG Report

The D&I strategy is informed by data withclearly defined and communicated objectives.
Agilent has three legacy metrics: representationof women in leadership, annual engagement
survey results, and gender pay equity. We
recently expanded the dashboard to include
hiring, attrition, and promotion.

In support of the strategic pillars, the Diversity
Office developed a formal governance model
to further integrate D&I into all activities
and provide a structure for feedback fromand participation by executive leaders andemployees across the company.
The model is comprised of the Executive
D&I Council and the Employee Network
Group (ENG) Board to drive alignment to
the enterprise D&I strategy and to provide aplatform for sharing best practices, setting
goals, and collaborating.
The Executive D&I council comprises
14 executive and senior staff members,
as well as two employee-network grouprepresentatives. All members are appointed
by the CEO and selected to ensure diversityof thought and perspective that spans all
businesses, functions, geographies, roles,
and demographics. The council’s mission isto embed diversity and inclusion across theenterprise while modeling inclusive leadership.

Our employee-network groups ensure we see
and hear firsthand how underrepresented groups
experience the company and what resources
could benefit the community. Agilent has a full
palette of ENGs and also several affinity groups—
organizations in which members are linked by
a common interest rather than a demographic.
These groups are another way we collect the“voice of the employee” and foster a sense of
belonging.
Globally, we have D&I liaisons from Country
HR who design and deploy programming that
resonates locally. Those efforts are calibrated
with the Diversity Office to ensure alignment to ourenterprise strategy, but they remain rooted in local
dimensions of identity that are underrepresented
and/or marginalized. The geographic liaisonsmeet regularly as a group, and also one-on-one
with the Diversity Office to calibrate calendars,
discuss compliance requirements, and explore
opportunities to partner on events and activities.

Training and Accountability
Every leader is responsible for proactively
representing and developing a diverse pipeline,
as well as integrating D&I into their businessand management practices. The Diversity Officeprovides support and a toolkit of resources toleaders. The approach is consistent across ourglobal operations, but tactics are customized foreach local region.
Leaders and managers at Agilent must take anin-depth course on unconscious bias before they
can undertake any people leader responsibilities.
They can also participate in robust D&I learning
paths including Level Up: Inclusive Leadership,
Allyship in Action, Emerging Leader Program(with a D&I component), Gender Affirmation, andInclusive Language.

CEO Letter | Sustainable Solutions | Our ESG Approach | Environmental | Social | Governance | Appendices

Level Up is our program to develop inclusive
leadership skills across the company. It is acurated learning path for leaders that is selfdriven and easy to incorporate into a busy day.
We piloted the program in early 2023 with morethan 2,000 people leaders; the feedback was so
positive that we are extending the program in
2024 with additional resources and enhanced
communication tools. Level Up teaches
participants how to develop a growth mindset,
provide inclusive feedback, understand diverse
cultures, and more. Participants also receive
access to a multidimensional leadership library,
and multiple one-page, interactive leadershipbriefs to be used with their teams.

Allyship in Action
The Allyship in Action program, a cohort-based,interactive learning experience, was piloted in the
U.S. in 2022 and launched globally in 2023. With
32 cohorts completing the multi-week program,leaders across the organization were charged
with growing their networks and expanding theirview of the world by doing the following:
Learning the skills and behaviors
associated with allyship.
Reflecting on their roles as potential,
emerging, or active allies.
Listening to the experiences andperspectives of others.
Sharing their experiences and perspectives.
Applying what they’ve learned.

We updated our D&I SharePoint site in 2023 to add a wide range oftools and resources for all employees. The site has sections dedicatedto resources for leaders and HR. The materials are identity-based andinclude topics around cultural competence, allyship, inclusive leadership,
feedback across difference, as well as many other relevant D&I topics.
In 2024 we will again refresh the site with new tools and resources aswell as add an expanded metrics tab so leaders and employees can easily
see our progress against the enterprise metrics. We will also add a tab forour geography-based D&I efforts.

Employee-Network Groups
Our employee-network groups (ENGs) bring together employees whoshare a dimension of identity. Run by employees, with direct support
from CEO staff, the groups serve their members and allies throughcareer panels, networking events, lectures featuring executives andspecial guests, and opportunities for professional development. Last
year, ENGs held a variety of impactful events, including celebrations ofcultural heritage observances, discussions about cultural fluency andawareness, and approaches to breaking the glass ceiling. Agilent has
seven ENGs: Asian Pacific Islander (API), Veterans (AVETS), Council ofBlack Employees (CoBE), Hispanic and Latino employees (La Chispa),
LGBTQ+ employees (Rainbow Spark), Women@Agilent, and Society of
Women Engineers at Agilent.

Measuring Our Progress
The Agilent Diversity Office measures our D&I performance through (1) the number of women in leadership roles; (2) Black, Indigenous, and/or
women of color (BIWOC), (3) pay equity by gender, and (4) the results of our annual all-employee survey. This gives us greater visibility as to theintersection of gender and race/ethnicity, helping us better manage our pipeline development efforts.

Supply Chain Policies
and Practices
ESG Standards and Compliance for Suppliers
Agilent collaborates with thousands of suppliers of goods and services
around the world—our relationships with suppliers are of great strategic
importance. We expect our suppliers to act with uncompromising
integrity and follow all appropriate global and regional laws andregulations. We partner with our suppliers to ensure they operate
sustainably, responsibly, and transparently in accordance with the same
standards we require of ourselves.
We prize long-term working relationships with our suppliers throughmutual performance expectations and measures, performance
feedback, and performance improvement plans.
Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct outlines requirements we expect
suppliers to follow. Agilent Procurement works with its functional
partners to ensure all the appropriate laws and regulations areencapsulated within the Code of Conduct, which is reviewed andupdated annually. Suppliers must be able to comply with our policies
and standards outlined in the Code, including those related to:

Quality
Regulatory
Environment and Sustainability
Health and Safety
Human Rights and Employment Practices
Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery
Supply Chain Security
Privacy and IT Security
Agilent 2023 ESG Report

Agilent’s Standards of Business Conduct
clarifies the extension of our values to our
suppliers—we will not establish or maintaina business relationship with a supplier if we
believe that its practices violate local laws orbasic international principles relating to labor
standards, environmental protection, andethical conduct.
Suppliers must also adhere to our GeneralSpecification for the Environment (GSE), which
outlines the requirements for purchased
parts, components, materials, and products
incorporated into Agilent products. These
requirements represent restrictions imposed on
Agilent’s end products, which may be different
than those imposed on the individual partsand components, and in some cases, exceed
regulatory requirements. These requirements
cover environmental requirements related to
product content, packaging, product labelingand marketing, and chemical registration,
among others, as well as content andsubstance restrictions.
We continually monitor and evaluate thestatus of various ESG issues and impacts
around the world that may be relevant to ourbusiness, assessing potential changes to risks
in our supply chain and new or enhanced laws
and regulations. This information is used toensure our supplier requirements are current,
appropriate actions to detect and mitigate risks
are being taken, and our employee training is
updated accordingly.
More details about our supplier requirements
can be found on the supplier section ofAgilent.com. Additionally, read more about
how we protect the environment through our
supply chain.

Supplier Onboarding,
Assessment and Audits
Agilent is committed to sourcing fromorganizations that share our values aroundhuman rights, ethics, product quality andsafety, and environmental responsibility.
New suppliers are identified, evaluated,and selected based on their ability to meet
pre-defined requirements and provide thebest overall value to Agilent. During theonboarding process, suppliers are provided
Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which
communicates our expectation regarding
compliance with our requirements.
Communicating our ESG expectations
is just the first step. Once selected, newsuppliers exceeding estimated annual spend
thresholds and/or belonging to certain
industry sectors are invited to access our
supplier portal and complete an assessment
questionnaire regarding the supplier’s
financial performance, legal and regulatorycompliance, and sustainability practices.
Responses are evaluated to ensure suppliers
can meet our requirements and align with
our values.

questionnaire, responses are analyzed
and suppliers are assigned a risk level. Risk
mitigation steps are defined for any supplier
identified as high or medium risk andmay include an on-site audit conducted bya third party partner. Non-conformances
identified during an audit require a
remediation plan and are re-audited uponcompletion of remediation.
Suppliers are re-evaluated based on theabove segmentation and regulatory or otherrequirements. In 2023, we assessed over 500
suppliers, accounting for a large majority of
our spend.
Last year, Agilent piloted a new digitalplatform that simplifies and automates theassessment process to help us manage
assessments and mitigation measuresacross a wide base of suppliers. Thisenhances our agility and enables us tomeet rapidly changing regulations globally.
In addition to assessments, we conduct
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
reviews with our strategic suppliers. SRM
reviews are designed to evaluate KPIs,
enhance innovation and collaboration, andpromote discussion of other relevant topics
that strengthen the relationship.

Using a risk-based approach, Agilent
conducts an annual Supplier Compliance
Assessment to ensure suppliers are meeting
the requirements and expectations outlined in
our Supplier Code of Conduct. Suppliers are
identified based on criteria including strategic
importance to Agilent, spend, industry sector,
country, and other relevant criteria. After
suppliers complete a compliance assessment

experience in technology, manufacturing, finance and marketing,international experience, and culture, as well as the Board’s needs for
specific operational, management, or other expertise.
The members of our Board have a diversity of experience and a wide
variety of backgrounds, skills, qualifications, and viewpoints thatstrengthen their ability to carry out their oversight role. We regularly review
the attributes required of Board members to better facilitate our long-termgoals and operational performance, enhance our corporate culture, andpromote diversity and inclusion.
We are also mindful of refreshing the Board to ensure it is balanced withnewer and more tenured directors. We welcomed a new Board member,
Otis Brawley, M.D. in November 2021, shortly following the onboarding ofanother new member, Mikael Dolsten, M.D., Ph.D. in September 2021.
We annually evaluate the performance of the Board and its committees.
The Board believes it is important to assess both its overall performanceand the performance of its committees and to solicit and act upon
feedback received, where appropriate. As part of the Board’s selfassessment process, directors consider assorted topics related to Board
composition, structure, effectiveness, and responsibilities, as well as theoverall mix of director skills, experience, and backgrounds. From time totime, these evaluations are conducted by an independent third party torefresh the process.

program provides a framework for identifying
material risks across the company, determining
ownership of the risks, and supporting thecreation and maintenance of business
continuity plans. It ensures the adequacy ofplans across key business flows, including
appropriate testing/drills and the availabilityof a central repository for documentation. If
an incident occurs that results in a partial/
full implementation of a business continuity
plan, the program reviews the key learnings
and the effectiveness of the plan and ensuresappropriate actions are taken.

The Board has the ultimate responsibility for,and is actively engaged in, oversight of ourrisk management, both directly and throughits committees. The full Board is kept abreastof risk oversight and other activities of its
committees through reports of the committee
chairpersons to the full Board during Board
meetings. Senior management may also
provide risk assessment reports directly to theBoard on certain issues.

Transition to
EU IVD Regulation
The EU’s In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) (EU) 2017/746 is a new,harmonized regulatory framework established to ensure the present
and future safety and performance of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical
devices in the EU. It replaces the previous IVD Directive (IVDD) 78/79/
EC, under which many Agilent products have been CE-IVD marked,
certifying compliance. Given the timelines and complexities of developing
IVD medical devices and receiving regulatory approval, the European
Commission adopted a progressive rollout of the Regulation, establishing
new transitional periods according to device risk classes.
At Agilent, we are fully committed to compliance with regulatory
requirements. We also recognized that this new IVDR framework would
not only affect us as a manufacturer of in vitro diagnostics, but it would
have significant impact on our customers who use our portfolio of
products in their diagnostic laboratories. Our multi-disciplinary team withdeep experience in European regulatory requirements for IVDs came
together to make this a seamless transition for our customers as we
endeavored to fulfill IVDR requirements within the established timelines.
In June 2022, we announced that our IVDR Class A instruments, kits,
and reagents were released in compliance with the new Regulation. This
ensured that EU laboratories reliant on Agilent IVD products for theirdiagnostic workflows were able to continue to use these products without
disruption. In December 2023, Agilent received certificates demonstrating
EU IVDR Quality Management System compliance for all applicable sites
and EU IVDR conformity for representative devices. This was a significant
milestone in Agilent’s journey to achieve complete IVDR compliance forthe entirety of its in vitro diagnostic portfolio. With these certificatesin hand, Agilent is working diligently to meet IVDR requirements andtimelines for its remaining Class B and Class C products. Agilent’s IVDR
certificates are also available on Agilent’s website.

Ethics and Compliance

Internal Monitoring and Auditing
The Chief Compliance Officer reports to the
Audit and Finance Committee on a regularbasis regarding the effectiveness of our global
compliance program.

On a routine basis, Agilent conducts internal
audits, risk assessments, and targeted
monitoring activities to identify potential
issues, control gaps, and seek opportunities
for improvements to policies, procedures, andprocesses. Internal Audit regularly assesses
the effectiveness of our compliance program
through routine and targeted audits of business
functions and/or sales affiliates using a riskbased audit plan. Every year, Internal Audit
selects a priority list of business divisions,operations, and countries in which we operate
to assess compliance with controls, policies,
and procedures and re-testing to ensurecompliance standards are satisfied.
Each year between July and September,Internal Audit conducts a risk assessment
process that results in the plan for operations
audits to be performed in the following fiscal
year. The process involves meeting with senior
management, including most of the CEO and
CFO staff and select vice presidents, for the
purposes of (1) identifying key areas of risk
across our businesses and (2) determining theoperational audit theme prior to each applicable
audit period. In November, this audit plan isformally approved by the Audit and FinanceCommittee.

Agilent’s Environmental Policy is to act in an environmentally responsible manner regarding ouroperations, products, and services. Agilent expects employees and managers to support theimplementation of this policy in accordance with their roles and responsibilities in the organization. Of
particular relevance to product development are the following actions:

HC-MS-410a.1• Ensure our products and operations comply with relevant environmental legislation andregulations.
• Responsibly manage the use of hazardous materials in our operations, products, and services,and promote recycling or reuse of our products.
The fundamentals of Agilent’s Design for the Environment (DfE) guidelines encourage Agilent
employees to think about the impact that a product has on both the environment and society.
Therefore, they should consider answering the following questions:• What positive impacts does the product have on the environment?
• What are the negative impacts?
Many Agilent products include innovations that have enabled their reduced energy use, footprint, water
usage, use of hazardous materials, etc. and we are sponsors of not-for-profit organizations like My
Green Lab (https://www.mygreenlab.org/) to help us understand how we can continually improve theenvironmental impact of our products and the sustainability of our laboratory customers worldwide.
Agilent complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH regulatory compliancefor all commercial products. For reagent based NPIs, we are using the ARCADIS form to document theenvironmental and health considerations.

Governance | Disclose the organization’s governance around climate-related risks and opportunities.
a) Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities.
b) Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
See the Approach to ESG, and Enterprise Risk Management sections of Agilent’s 2023 ESG Report.
Strategy | Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy, and financial planning where such information is material.
a) Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organization has identified over the short-, medium-, and long-term.
b) Describe the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy, and financial planning.
c) Describe the resilience of the organization’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario.
The TCFD highlights two primary types of climate risks—physical and transition. Physical risks may include extreme weather events, such as drought or flooding, and the longer-term impact of increasing average global mean temperatures. Transition risks, on
the other hand, may include the global transition to a low-carbon economy, new regulations, and innovations in energy efficiency.
We have identified climate-related risks and opportunities with potential impact to our business as described below:

Physical Risks

Risk TypeOperations continuity

Moderate

S&P Global Sustainable1 analyzed the potential physical risks that may impact Agilent’s operations, considering different scenarios of climate change by 2050. Sustainable1 examined ourphysical risk exposure at the asset level, which includes our manufacturing sites, data center, and large office sites.
Overall, Agilent faces moderate physical risk with greatest exposure to water stress, cold waves, and wildfires. The small increase in composite physical risk score from the moderate to highscenario is associated with increased wildfire and heatwave risk as global temperatures rise.
Mitigation Strategy
Agilent site management teams are engaging with stakeholders within senior leadership and subject matter experts in relevant operational areas on next steps and mitigationplans which will be managed via our Enterprise Risk Management program.

Physical Risk Exposure for Operations

Scenario Reference (IPCC)

RCP*

Description

High Climate Change Scenario

8.5

Continuation of business as usual with emissions at current rates.
This scenario is expected to result in warming in excess of 4°C by 2100.

Moderate Climate Change Scenario

4.5

Strong mitigation actions to reduce emissions to half of current levels by 2080.
This scenario is more likely than not to result in warming in excess of 2°C by 2100.

Low Climate Change Scenario

2.6

Aggressive mitigation actions to halve emissions by 2050.
This scenario is likely to result in warming of less than 2°C by 2100.

*RCP - Representative Concentration Pathway — RCP 4.5 is described by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a moderate scenario in which emissions peak around 2040 and then decline. RCP
8.5 is the highest baseline emissions scenario in which emissions continue to rise throughout the twenty-first century. RCP 2. 6 represents a pathway where greenhouse gas emissions are strongly reduced, resulting
in a best estimate global average temperature rise of 1.6°C by 2100 compared to the pre-industrial period.

Transition Risk

Risk Type

Policy Risk Exposure

Low to Moderate

To significantly reduce GHG emissions and address climate change, carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes and fuel taxes are expected to feature prominently in global policy action.
The S&P Global Sustainable1 risk model inputs include:• S&P Global TruCost carbon price data and scenarios• Agilent’s Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and location data by facility• Agilent’s Scope 3 emissions data per category• Agilent’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG targets
The sources of Scope 1 and 2 emissions mainly consist of Agilent offices, data centers, and manufacturing sites. Upstream Scope 3 emissions were also included and are chiefly made up of purchases from Agilent suppliers and transportation and distribution
services.
The TCFD identifies increased pricing of GHG emissions and increased operating costs (e.g., higher compliance costs) as examples of climate-related policy risk. The emergence of increasing taxes on fuel or GHG emissions may leave Agilent with increased
expenses which it may choose to pass on to customers, absorb, or invest in lowering its emissions.
The analysis concluded that the impact of carbon pricing on Agilent’s operating expenses are likely to be low to moderate. These risks will be mitigated by Agilent’s net-zero commitment.
Mitigation Strategy

Transition Risk

Time Horizon

Market Risk Exposure: Suppliers

Short- and medium-term

S&P Global Sustainable1 quantified the market risk exposure by calculating the earnings at risk of Agilent’s top 100 corporate suppliers. As carbon prices increase globally to drive transition to a low-carbon economy, Agilent’s suppliers may be affected byincreasing emissions taxes over time.
Suppliers in the Chemicals sector followed by the Air Freight and Logistics sectors have the highest earnings at risk from carbon pricing.
Our highest expenditures are with air freight and logistics suppliers. Professional services are the second highest spend but the sector has a lower carbon pricing risk relative to other sectors.
Overall, five of Agilent’s suppliers have market risk (EBITDA) exposure above the sector average with all others being at or below the sector average.
Mitigation
We are evaluating suppliers who are most at risk and will collaborate with our strategic suppliers on their risk mitigation plans.
Other mitigating actions may include engagement with suppliers who are most at risk of eroded operating margins due to their exposure to increased carbon pricing and examination of the materiality of the high-risk suppliers to Agilent’s business byoverlaying the data with information on supplier expenditure.
More information on how we are engaging with our suppliers on Scope 3 emissions can be found in the Environment section of the ESG report.
Transition Risk

Time Horizon

Market Risk Exposure: Customers

Short- and medium-term

Agilent’s customers are increasing their engagement with Agilent’s sales and operations personnel on sustainability matters. Significant focus is now on GHG emissions, water use, and other issues related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals to meet
evolving ESG expectations and goals. Mitigation of climate change is typically high on customers’ sustainability agenda and insufficient commitment and progress toward reducing emissions and other root causes of climate change may jeopardize businessfrom key customers. Core environmental sustainability metrics are being subjected to increasing scrutiny.
Mitigation
Agilent reviews current and emerging customer expectations and has responded with public commitments to help mitigate the impacts of climate change. Agilent’s net-zero commitment is one such example, and core environmental sustainability metrics are
publicly disclosed and audited by a third-party assurance body. Refer to Agilent's Environmental Data Assurance Statement

Interactions with water as a shared resource

2023 ESG Report, Water Management
The discharge of water varies from site to site, but can be attributed to domestic sanitation, production operations and cooling systems. Typically, a small proportion of discharge
from an onsite water treatment plant is approved with local permits and consideration for environmental impacts. Surface water discharge is directed towards local surface water
infrastructure, ensuring the separation of potential contaminants from our site. When water is discharged into the sewer system, we carefully consider factors such as evaporationand irrigation of site grounds. While we do not currently measure the specific metrics associated with our water discharge, we estimate that 5 percent of the discharge occurs
through evaporation, primarily in areas where evaporative coolers are present.

2023 ESG Report, Supply Chain Policies and Practices

At the time of supplier onboarding, new suppliers exceeding estimated annual spend thresholds and/or belonging to certain industry sectors are asked to complete a businessassessment questionnaire which includes questions regarding the supplier’s sustainability practices. Approximately 23% of new suppliers are screened for environmental criteria.
Additionally, Agilent utilizes the Supplier Compliance Assessment process with selected new suppliers. Responses are evaluated against a set of environmental, health and safety
criteria, among others.

At Agilent, we prioritize the integrity and sustainability of our supply chain. To ensure transparency and resilience in our operations, we engage third-party services for conducting
Supply Chain Risk Analysis (SCRA) on all Active Suppliers. SCRA is based upon goods/services provided by suppliers and their geographical locations.
After analyzing SCRA results and the potential impacts to Agilent, 564 suppliers completed detailed environmental assessments. A small percentage of suppliers may require further
evaluation to address and mitigate potential risks for future improvements. This proactive approach ensures ongoing monitoring and enhancement of our supply chain resilience andsustainability.
In addition to assessments, Agilent uses a third-party service to conduct on-site audits. No major non-conformances were identified in FY 2023. All minor non-conformances havebeen remediated.
