– Agilent supports the communities in which we live and work and encourage employees to share their time and talents to help others.
At Agilent, we are committed to advancing the quality of life. We do that by the very nature of our products and services, which are built to improve health, safety, and the environment.
In communities where we operate, we contribute through donations, employee volunteerism, and community partnerships in the areas of science education.
Caring for cancer patients and vulnerable children
Agilent identifies local charities in communities which we live and work and support them on an ongoing basis. Among the charities supported are Charis Hospice Penang, Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital and The Children’s Protection Society.
Throughout the pandemic, employees raised spirits and helped those in need by participating in fundraisers like virtual runs and photography contests. Besides that, donations were made to the charities to support their dayto-day operations.
Promoting Science Education
Agilent partners with Penang Science Cluster to inspire students to learn science. Employees are also given a platform to share their passion for science with students through workshops and competitions. Recently, Agilent supported a virtual competition for students to develop scientific communication skills.
Responding to the COVID-19 Crisis
During the pandemic, Agilent assisted frontline medical workers with donation of personal protection equipment (PPE), including 3D printed face shields, face masks, medical gloves, and hand sanitizers.
In August 2021, the high number of COVID cases caused a shortage of medical equipment in Penang hospitals. In response, Agilent donated 24 oxygen concentrators to Penang General Hospital. The machines are used by five to eight COVID patients every day.
