(CSRwire) PALO ALTO, CA -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today released its fifth Environment and Social Responsibility Report. The report provides detailed information about the company's environmental and social objectives, strategies, results, challenges and plans for improvement.

The online report, available on Agilent's Web site at www.agilent.com/go/sustainability, is aimed at customers, investors, employees, suppliers, governments, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders with an interest in the company's operations. In addition, a summary of the Agilent's citizenship performance highlights will be included in Agilent's hardcopy 2004 Corporate Report.

"While business success and market leadership are clearly a business's first priorities, I believe that leading companies set the standard in corporate social responsibility as well," said Ned Barnholt, Agilent chairman, president and chief executive officer, "Our corporate citizenship efforts strengthen Agilent's long-term competitiveness and help improve the viability of our many communities, and we will continue to make these efforts a priority."

Highlights for this year's report include a new "information for investors" section and an in-depth look at how Agilent responds to four of our key citizenship challenges--climate change, hazardous materials management, community investment and giving, and supplier environmental and social responsibility management.
