AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“Agilent,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025 (“Reporting Year”). The report covers all Agilent majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are subject to the Rule.
The Rule imposes certain due diligence and reporting obligations on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants whose manufactured products (including products contracted to be made for each registrant) contain “conflict minerals” necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The Rule defines “conflict minerals” to include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively referred to as “3TGs”) regardless of their country of origin or whether they are used to finance or benefit armed groups.
Company Overview

Our products that could contain conflict minerals include: liquid chromatography systems; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry systems; gas chromatography systems; gas chromatography mass spectrometry systems; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry instruments; atomic absorption instruments; microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometry instruments; inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry instruments; bioanalytical Instruments, microarray equipment, raman spectrometers and autostainer, laboratory automation and robotic systems; vacuum pumps and measurement technologies.
Summary of Agilent’s Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
Agilent’s mission is to advance the quality of life and improve the human condition. To support our mission, we are committed to sourcing components and materials from organizations that share our values around human rights, ethics, and environmental responsibility. Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Policy supports the goal of ending violence, human rights violations, and environmental devastation in the Covered Countries. To ensure that these messages are easily accessible, Agilent maintains its 2024 ESG Report on its website. Supplier requirements are defined in the Agilent Supplier Code of Conduct.
Agilent encourages the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (‘DRC’) and adjoining countries (collectively the “Covered Countries”) by responsible processing facilities. Responsible processing facilities are those smelters and refiners who are either conformant with the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (‘RMI’s’) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (‘RMAP’) or are actively working towards achieving conformance.
Applicability
Agilent conducted reasonable due diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products. Based on these efforts, we have reason to believe that some of the conflict minerals present in our supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries. We are unable to determine with assurance the origin of the conflict minerals in our products at this time and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or Covered Countries. For this reason, we are required under the Rule to submit this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) as an exhibit to Agilent’s Form SD.
Reasonable Country Of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)
Agilent requires that all suppliers abide by the directives in Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct. We expect that these obligations will cascade through our supply chain and that our direct suppliers will extend the same obligations on their suppliers to survey their suppliers until all the actors in Agilent’s 3TG supply chain are surveyed back to the processing facility.
Agilent typically does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines or processing facilities. Agilent’s supply chain is extensive and complex with many layers of suppliers positioned between us and 3TG raw material processing facilities.
For reporting purposes, we require our relevant direct suppliers to complete the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) designed by the RMI. Suppliers are instructed to submit their CMRT using a sustainability tool.
We then compare each supplier’s CMRT Smelter List with the database made available to all by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (‘RMI’). The RMI database categorizes smelters as either Conformant with the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (‘RMAP’) or actively working towards achieving conformance. Smelters that are in neither of these two categories are referred to as Not
Conformant by Agilent.
Design of Due Diligence
Our Due Diligence measures have been designed to conform in all material respects, with the 5-step framework described in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, 2016 (“OECD Guidance”) and the related supplements for 3TG.
The OECD Guidance provides a framework for detailed due diligence to support responsible global supply chain management of minerals and is currently the only internationally recognized framework for raw material due diligence.
The OECD Guidance (including its Supplements) applies to each of the 3TGs and to Agilent as a “downstream company”.
For the reporting year of 2025, we evaluated 240 Suppliers representing 75 percent of our direct material purchases and identified 165 of those whose products could possibly contain 3TG. We had 58 percent response rate from our in-scope suppliers and accepted 44 CMRTs for reporting purposes.
All RMI processing facility information used in this report was downloaded from the RMI website on April 10, 2026.
Due Diligence Framework
In accordance with the Rule, Agilent carried out a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and Due Diligence process to determine the origin of 3TG metals used in its in-scope products.
Agilent has taken the following measures to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals in its products for this reporting period.
OECD Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems
Agilent has implemented programs that are in conformance with Step 1 of the OECD Framework.
Responsible Sourcing Policies
•Established and communicated its Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy that applies to all direct materials suppliers.
•Established and communicated Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct which includes the requirement to maintain compliance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and applies to all suppliers.
Structured Internal Management to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence
•Established a cross-functional, working-level team to oversee Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Sourcing Program. The working team includes members of Agilent’s Legal and Procurement organizations.
•The Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary, was accountable for the policy in 2025. Executive management is briefed on an annual basis about the results of Agilent’s due diligence efforts before reviewing potential opportunities to improve it and mitigate risk.
Established a System of Controls and Transparency Over the Mineral Supply Chain
•Agilent has established a process to identify in-scope suppliers.
•Agilent uses Standards of Business Conduct, which outlines expected behaviors for all Agilent employees and contractors and Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
•Agilent requires direct materials suppliers to report on their source and use of conflict minerals using the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).
Strengthened Engagement with Suppliers
•Communications with our suppliers reflects Agilent’s values.
•Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Program Manager has an open-door policy for all suppliers and offered support to suppliers who lacked the knowledge necessary to provide Agilent with a correctly researched and generated CMRT.
•Agilent conducted a remediation outreach to suppliers whose most recent CMRT identified US-sanctioned, Russian-located or high-risk, non-conformant smelters. The objective of this outreach was to demonstrate Agilent’s commitment to removing objectionable smelters from our supply chains and our willingness to work with our current suppliers to achieve this objective.
Provided a Company-level Grievance Mechanism
•Agilent is committed to provide an anonymous grievance reporting mechanism for our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders who may be impacted by our operations.
•We have put in place multiple mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Agilent’s policies,
including a global reporting hotline.
OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain
We use the RMI List of All Operational 3TG Smelters, The RMI List of Conformant Smelters and the RMI List of Active Smelters as reference authorities for identifying risk in our supply chain. These online tools are critical inputs to help us identify risk in our supply chain.
Agilent relies on the RMI to determine if processing facilities reported by our suppliers are Conformant with Responsible Minerals Assurance Program (RMAP) Conflict-Free management sourcing standards.
These audit standards have been developed by the RMI to assess if 3TG processing facilities have management systems in place to support responsible sourcing practices. Agilent took the following steps to identify and assess supplier conflict mineral supplier risk during this reporting year:
•Agilent initiated a Supplier Conflict Minerals Risk Mitigation review starting in the third quarter of 2025. The objective of this review was to educate our in-scope suppliers whose CMRT for the previous year was rejected for failing to meet the OECD-based due diligence acceptance criteria. Letters were sent to each supplier’s Conflict Minerals Contact describing why the CMRT was unacceptable. Agilent’s Supplier Relationship Owner (SRO) for each account was responsible for follow-up.
•Agilent collected supplier CMRTs or No 3TG confirmation through third party platform starting from January 2026.
•Agilent compared the processing facilities reported by its suppliers in their CMRT Smelter List with the RMI’s List of All Operational 3TG Smelters as of April 10, 2026. If the supplier reported a significant number of processing facilities that were not on the RMI’s List of All Operational 3TG Smelters, the CMRT was rejected and returned to the supplier with a follow-up letter explaining the issues.
•Agilent only accepted supplier CMRTs that were created using Version 6.5. CMRT Version 6.5 is the current version of the CMRT. Suppliers who used earlier versions of the CMRT were informed that Agilent would not accept out-of-date versions and were requested to update their CMRT to Version 6.5.
•Suppliers whose CMRT Smelter List reported processing facilities that could not possibly have been the source of metals in products sourced by Agilent were rejected.
•The majority of the CMRTs provided data at the company level. As a result, Agilent was unable to determine the processing facilities in the Agilent-Supplier supply chain.
•Suppliers who did not respond to Agilent’s request for their CMRT were reported to the Agilent account SRO and instructed to inquire why the supplier did not submit a CMRT. If the reason was the supplier has not implemented a conflict mineral reporting program, the SRO was required to escalate the issue both within Agilent and the supplier’s organization.
•The reasons Agilent rejected a supplier CMRT included:
•Did not have a Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy.
•Substituted a Declaration Letter, in place of a No 3TG Confirmation or CMRT on third party platform stating that their products were conflict free.
•Did not use the current CMRT to survey their suppliers.
•Had not surveyed their suppliers within the previous 15 months.
•Had not updated their CMRT within the previous year.
•Provided inconsistent answers.
•Declared that there were 3TGs in their products but did not provide a Smelter List identifying the processing facilities in their supply chain.
•Reported more processing facilities in their supply chain than the RMI has validated as being operational.
•Agilent accepted 44 supplier CMRTs. The information provided by these supplier CMRTs were used as the basis for generating Agilent’s updated CMRT Version 6.5 and this 2025 Conflict Minerals Report.
The processing facilities identified in Agilent’s 2025 3TG supply chain are reported in Annex 1-3.
•Annex 1 identifies processing facilities that were reported by Agilent’s suppliers as being in the supply chain and are RMI RMAP-Conformant.
•Annex 2 identifies processing facilities that were reported by Agilent’s suppliers as being in the supply chain and are actively working towards achieving conformance with the RMAP standard,
•Annex 3 identifies processing facilities that were reported by Agilent’s suppliers as being in the supply chain but are not participating in the RMI RMAP program.
OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
Agilent’s strategy to respond to identified risks includes a range of measures that form part of its Conflict Minerals due diligence process.
Measures taken by Agilent in 2025 to design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks as part the company’s due diligence
process include:
•Undertaking a risk mitigation program starting in the third quarter of 2025. Every supplier whose CMRT was rejected for calendar year 2024 reporting was sent an analysis of why its CMRT was rejected and what corrective actions Agilent recommended it take. We requested that the supplier provide Agilent with an updated CMRT incorporating its corrections within 90 days.
•Mapping suppliers against the processing facilities that they reported in their CMRT to identify which suppliers must remove from the supply chain. If in-scope suppliers identified processing facilities within our supply chain that are RMAP Not Conformant, we asked them to encourage the management of these processing facilities to participate in the RMAP process.
•When possible, identify an alternative supplier whose product can be substituted for the current supplier’s.
OECD Step 4: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter Due Diligence Practices
Agilent relies on the RMI to determine if processing facilities reported by its suppliers are Conformant with the RMI RMAP responsible conflict-free management sourcing standards.
OECD Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
Agilent complies with this step through this report filing and its related Form SD to the SEC and making it publicly available on our website.
DETERMINATION
As Agilent does not directly purchase raw minerals, ores or 3TG metals, it must rely on its direct suppliers to gather information about processing facilities in its supply chain.
We received CMRT responses for the year ended December 31, 2025, from 165 in-scope suppliers. All RMI reference data and supplier information were based on data received as of April 10, 2026.
Based on supplier responses for the year ended December 31, 2025, Agilent has identified 349 processing facilities in its supply chain that have been validated by the RMI as being operational during 2025.
The table below depicts, by mineral and RMI Conformance status, the number of processing facilities potentially in Agilent’s supply chain that are participating (Conformant/Active) and are not participating (Not Conformant) in the RMAP.

We have no reason to believe that any of the 349 processing facilities directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.
Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risk
To enhance the due diligence process and further mitigate any risk that conflict minerals used in the company’s products may benefit armed groups, Agilent is implementing the following actions:
•Engaging with Suppliers through written communications, meetings, and presentations with the objective of continuously improving the completeness and quality of the information provided;
•Agilent is encouraging suppliers to provide CMRTs at the product level to more accurately identify which processing facilities are in the Agilent-Supplier supply chains; and
•Agilent is communicating to its suppliers that they must survey their suppliers with the same level of Due Diligence as Agilent.
•Continue to enhance our supplier list to ensure that we are surveying the correct suppliers;
•Improve CMRT response completeness from in-scope, direct suppliers through Agilent’s timely review and feedback; and
•Remain aware of developments in Conflict Minerals Due Diligence and apply that knowledge to Agilent’s risk assessment and mitigation actions.
