EN5 ENERGY SAVED DUE TO CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS


必威体育赛事投注EN6 INITIATIVES TO PROVIDE ENERGY-EFFICIENT OR RENEWABLE ENERGY BASED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND REDUCTIONS IN ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AS A RESULT OF THESE INITIATIVES

必威体育登录手机Agilent is working on improving the energy efficiency of selected products/product families compared to the predecessor models.Product families selected included instruments with high energy consumption.

必威体育登录手机Agilent has worked on assessing energy efficiency of several types of products by using customer base metrics.必威体育赛事投注By identifying energy-using features, we are able to increase energy efficiency of our products.必威体育登录手机During the past several years, Agilent has moved toward product energy efficiency in several product lines.Most of the energy savings are due to two key factors:

  • The increased type and volume of tests that can be conducted, thus increasing tests per watt.
  • Enhanced existing product features, thus bringing more measurement capabilities to the same product footprint.

必威体育登录手机Agilent's concentration on handheld and portable instruments places a focus on energy efficiency:

  • 必威体育赛事投注Next-generation products are using key new technology that greatly improves performance per watt of power supply.
  • 必威体育赛事投注Portable products put significant design efforts into power management to achieve power, heat, and battery life targets.
  • 必威体育赛事投注Industry and regulatory requirements on the power supplies for our portable products have also increased power supply efficiency.

EN7 INITIATIVES TO REDUCE INDIRECT ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND REDUCTIONS ACHIEVED

必威体育登录手机Energy and water conservation initiatives were implemented worldwide across Agilent.These initiatives include capital and operational improvements that range from constructing new energy-efficient facilities!decommissioning underutilized and less efficient buildings and spaces!re-commissioning existing building systems for current uses!and optimizing equipment operations.Our combined efforts helped us exceed our FY13 energy conservation goal.

必威体育登录手机A new energy-efficient data center was constructed at Agilent's Colorado Springs campus, increasing the data handling capacity while reducing energy consumption.The campus also refurbished its buildings' heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems.The buildings now adjust to the heating and cooling dmands based on changes in occupancy while still maintaining comfort and safety standards.Collectively, these initiatives reduce energy consumption by 4.3 million kWh and emissions by 2,240 tons CO2-equivalent.In addition, a portion of the campus's landscaping was transformed into xeriscaping to decrease the amount of water used to irrigate the area.

必威体育登录手机The Agilent China campus in Chengdu retrofitted its cooling tower system, improved water-level controls in its fire prevention basin, and upgraded lighting.The need for make-up water in the cooling system was reduced by recirculating the water being used.Laser level sensors were added to the fire prevention basins to maintain water levels while eliminating overflow.Evacuation signs, which are illuminated 24 x 7, were replaced with LED versions.

必威体育登录手机Energy efficiency was designed into a new R&D building constructed at Agilent's Mulgrave campus in Australia.Above-standard lighting efficiency was achieved by using LED and T5 fixtures.Occupancy sensors were also installed to control the lighting.Overall, the lighting design and control conserves 127,899 kWh of electricity consumption annually compared with using T8 fixtures without lighting controls, and it avoids 109 tons CO2 equivalent emissions.In addition, the potential heat gain of the building was reduced by adding a veil to the façade, which reduces energy consumed to cool the interior space.

必威体育登录手机An innovative humidification system was implemented in one of the buildings at Agilent's Waldbronn facility in Germany.The site capitalized on the narrow characteristics of the building to simultaneously reduce energy and water consumption through the use of a decentralized humidification system.The system maintains humidity levels through micro-fine atomization without compressed air, steam or ultrasound.This effort conserves 228,165 kWh of energy as well as 3,900 gallons of water annually.

Our net energy conservation for FY13 (for sites included in this report) was 3.22% percent (using FY12 total energy spend as a baseline).

EN8 TOTAL WATER WITHDRAWAL BY SOURCE

  • Total volume of water from water utilities (1000 m3) = 1,194.175
  • Wastewater purchased from other organizations includes 58,685 m3 of "NEWater," purchased at the Singapore site which is reclaimed water produced by the local water board.It consists of wastewater that has gone through water-treatment processes including purification and UV technology.This amount is included in the "water withdrawn" totals below.

  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent includes a corporate citizenship overview in all new employee orientation, ensuring that social and environmental responsibility will continue to be a part of our culture moving forward.
  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent implemented due diligence practices following the EICC standard to meet requirements of the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act commonly known as conflict minerals.Our actions will result in meeting annual reporting requirements to the Securities Exchange Commission.必威体育登录手机Agilent's supplier code of conduct was updated to include the expectation that "Suppliers shall take reasonable measures to ensure products, parts, components and materials supplied to Agilent are "DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) conflict free" as that term is used under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent continued its robust communication of our General Specification for the Environment (GSE) with its strategic suppliers.必威体育登录手机This effort enables Agilent and its suppliers to comply with major environmental regulations on material use, product packaging, and labeling.The most significant change in this revision is the incorporation of new requirements resulting from the European REACH regulation additions regarding substances of very high concern and regulations on F-Gases.
  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent established targets to reduce water consumption by 10 percent in the next 3 years to reduce impact on environment and natural resources.

必威体育赛事投注EN27 PERCENTAGE OF PRODUCTS SOLD AND THEIR PACKAGING MATERIALS THAT ARE RECLAIMED BY CATEGORY

  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent's Remarketing Solutions Division is dedicated to recovering older instruments for the purpose of resale.For a certain segment of our customers (startups, academics, etc.), these pre-owned instruments offer a competitively priced alternative to buying a new instrument.必威体育赛事投注As a company, we are using fewer environmental resources to manufacture new products to meet this customer demand.For More Detail, Premium Refurbished Instruments.
  • 必威体育登录手机Agilent offers a variety of trade-in programs specifically designed to help customers safely dispose of or recycle used instrumentation.The program is currently deployed in several countries, with expansion of these programs being considered wherever possible.

EN28 MONETARY VALUE OF SIGNIFICANT FINES AND TOTAL NUMBER OF NON-MONETARY SANCTIONS FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

  • 必威体育登录手机In FY13, Agilent reported a total of 29 alleged regulation compliance violations.However, only one incident resulted in a monetary fine ($802).This occurred at the Shanghai, China site.
