Agilent Technologies, a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard Company, broke records on Nov. 18, 1999, as the largest initial public offering (IPO) in Silicon Valley history. The US $2.1 billion raised from that IPO was a sharp contrast to the $538 in working capital that founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard began in 1938. From a small garage in Palo Alto, California, to employees around the world serving customers in 110 countries, Agilent has a long history of innovation and leadership in communications, electronics, semiconductors, tests and measurements, life sciences, and chemical analysis industries.
Agilent's culture is based on innovation; trust, respect, teamwork; and uncompromising integrity. Added to these are speed, focus, and accountability to meet customer needs and create a culture of performance that draws on the full range of people's skills and aspirations.

Since our founding more than 20 years ago, we've worked to reduce our energy, waste, water, and CO2 emissions. Now we're taking it a step further. We're proud to announce that we will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Our comprehensive approach to net-zero includes Paris Agreement climate targets, clearly defined interim goals, and a commitment to the Science-Based Targets Initiative.
Our net-zero commitment includes the products we make, how we work with customers and suppliers, how we manage our internal operations and being accountable for achieving our goals. In short, it includes everything we do.
We're investing more in renewable energy in our sites and facilities, moving our car fleets from gas to electric, and reducing business travel. We're also exploring moving more freight via sea or even rail, engaging with our supply chain to identify which suppliers have the largest carbon footprint, working with those suppliers to reduce emissions, and factoring carbon footprint into supplier selection decisions.
