必威体育登录手机Since Agilent's founding over two decades ago, we have consistently addressed sustainability issues andreported on our progress.We are now expanding those efforts by committing to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions with interim targets aligned with the Paris Agreement.
必威体育赛事投注Our net-zero commitment includes the products we make, how we work with customers and suppliers, how we manage our internal operations, and being accountable for achieving our goals.In short, it includes everything we do.
We're investing more in renewable energy in our sites and facilities, moving our car fleets from gas to electric, and reducing business travel.We're also exploring moving more freight via sea or even rail, and 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.
Companies seeking to reduce emissions should align and measure their efforts in three distinct areas, known as "scopes" of activities.Below we list our scopes and the areas they impact.
Scope
Focus Area
Goal:
Reduce 50% by 2030
Scope 1:
必威体育登录手机Direct emissions from Agilent-owned or controlled sources
Site Operations
Including fuel combustion on site such as gas boilers, fleet vehicles and air-conditioning leaks.
Scope 2:
必威体育登录手机Indirect emissions from electricity purchased or used by Agilent
Site Energy Consumption
Goal:
Reduce 30% by 2030
Scope 3:
Indirect emissions from our value chain, occurring from sources we do not own or control.These are the greatest share of our carbon footprint.
Car Fleet
Site Waste
Business Travel
Employee Commuting
必威体育赛事投注Sold Products/End-of-life Treatment
Leased Offices
Logistics

Goal: Net-zero emissions by 2050
We're measuring our progress toward our net-zero goals with interim targets in accordance with theGreenhouse Gas Protocol, a comprehensive global standardized framework to measure and manage greenhouse gas emissions.Our goals and targets have beenapproved by the Science Based Targets initiative.Disclosures on our progress are verified annually by S&P Global Sustainable 1, an independent third party.

Since 2014, we've reduced carbon dioxide emissions 33% per square foot, even as our operations have grown.
We achieved this by:
必威体育赛事投注Through our Design for the Environment initiative, we've created award-winning products that use less energy, water and space.
Examples include:
Additionally, we're among the first companies in our class to be independently audited for the environmental impact of our gas and liquid chromatographs.必威体育登录手机And we're working with an independent nonprofit called My Green Lab to have Agilent instruments independently audited for the organization'sAccountability, Consistency, and Transparency必威体育赛事投注(ACT) label, which provides customers information about the environmental impact of lab products.See thefull list必威体育登录手机of ACT-labeled Agilent products.
必威体育赛事投注In 2022, we reduced our emissions from logistics by 7,706 metric tons by working with suppliers to deliver more products by sea instead of by air.
To switch from rapid product delivery via air to monthly shipments by ocean requires thinking big—specifically, reinventing how we manage global inventory.What began as a pilot project has now expanded to include more than 20 suppliers and transit from our factories to our logistic centers.必威体育赛事投注Our learnings from this initiative continue to inform strategies that reduce emissions while ensuring products are delivered safely and efficiently.
