Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has received an award for
leadership in advancing environmental sustainability from the
Business Intelligence Group. The award recognizes Agilent’s
sustainability efforts across all its operations and through all
its products and services, which are used in more than 265,000 labs
worldwide.
The Sustainability Awards recognize organizations that have made
sustainability an integral part of their business practice or
overall mission. Agilent’s environmental initiatives are closely
linked to the company’s mission of advancing the quality of
life.
“We’re extremely pleased to be recognized by the Business
Intelligence Group for our work in sustainability,” said Neil Rees,
vice president and head of ESG Programs. “For Agilent,
sustainability and improving the environment are part of who we are
and what we do every day.”
Since 2014, Agilent has reduced carbon emissions intensity per
square foot by 34 percent, reduced municipal water intensity per
square foot by 22 percent, and diverted 94 percent of solid waste
from landfills. The company has also committed to achieving
net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which includes an
interim goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 percent and
Scope 3 emissions by 30 percent by 2030 (from a 2019 baseline).
Agilent is also helping lab customers around the world achieve
their environmental goals. Labs consume 5 to 10 times more energy
and water than typical offices and discard 12 billion pounds of
plastic annually. In Agilent’s 2019 lab manager survey, 87%
reported that sustainability goals—from reducing energy and water
consumption to cutting emissions and purchasing green
products—figure prominently in their lab operations.
To help customers reach their sustainability goals, Agilent
designs many of its products to use less energy and produce less
direct waste than other options. For example, Agilent’s Intuvo 9000
Gas Chromatography System uses an efficient direct heating system
that requires less than half the electrical power of a conventional
gas chromatography while also reducing the heat energy emitted back
into the lab.
To reduce waste, Agilent’s award-winning Certified Pre-Owned
Instruments Program enables customers to trade in their used
analytical instrument for cash or toward the purchase of a new
instrument. Customers can also return select decommissioned
instruments to Agilent for recycling. In fiscal year 2021, Agilent
bought back 900 used instruments from customers, sold over 3,500
certified pre-owned instruments, and took back 2,000 instruments
through the program.
Agilent’s CrossLab Connect digital services allow labs to
operate more efficiently through automation, artificial
intelligence, and virtual support. Agilent also labels many of its
instruments with the My Green Lab ACT label, which indicates the
environmental footprint of the instrument. Agilent is a leader in
developing environmental lab practices—the company recently
announced that its customer demonstration lab received the highest
level of My Green Lab certification, the gold standard in
laboratory sustainability practices. These initiatives also advance
Agilent’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
