'The tenets of ESG have always been central to our mission, woven into the fabric of our business and a critical part of all that we strive to accomplish every day,' said Agilent President and CEO Mike McMullen.

Agilent's ESG report builds on over 20 years of annual reporting on the company's corporate responsibility policies, practices, and progress.
