“It’s an honor to be named in the Dow Jones Sustainability
Indices for a ninth consecutive year. I am particularly proud of
our team’s progress in reducing emissions throughout our value
chain and providing innovative solutions to help our customers
reach their environmental goals,” said Neil Rees, head of Agilent’s
ESG programs.
Only 3,500 of the largest companies globally are eligible for
inclusion in any Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), according
to S&P Global. Inclusion in the indices is based largely on
S&P Global’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA),
which invites 13,000 companies to be scored on a wide range of
sustainability criteria, from climate strategy and human capital
management to business ethics and supply chain management.
The S&P CSA scored Agilent “very high” on sustainability
performance, far above the industry average in all three
categories.
Agilent is named in both the Dow Jones Sustainability World
Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index. The
World Index tracks the performance of sustainability leaders in the
top 10% of the 2,500 largest companies globally, while the North
America Index tracks the top 20% of the 600 largest Canadian and
U.S. companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index. It marks
the ninth year in which Agilent has been featured in the DJSI.
Agilent has the most comprehensive circular economy program for
lab instruments, which includes trade-in, buy-back, recycling, and
refurbishing services; a large and growing number of ACT-labeled
products; and a wide variety of instruments, consumables, and
technology designed to reduce lab energy consumption, waste, and
use of fossil fuels. Learn more about Agilent’s ESG programs and
