Recent blog postings and unconfirmed media reports claim that Agilent won a contract with Sinopec WuHan through improper means, including alleged improper entertainment of a Sinopec employee. The Sinopec employee involved has publicly denied the allegations.
Agilent takes all allegations of employee wrongdoing seriously and we have launched an internal investigation to determine the facts. After a thorough review conducted by outside experts, we have identified no credible evidence to support the salacious and unsupported claims of improper entertainment, gigolos or blackmail in connection with this contract and have no reason to believe they are true. Unfounded rumors – even malicious ones – about a variety of topics often appear in blogs and other media. The fact that they are published does not mean they are true.
At bottom, this appears to be a commercial contracting dispute fostered by disgruntled software distributor that is upset, because their software was not purchased. Agilent is looking into these commercial claims and through its counsel has asked the software distributor to provide any and all evidence to support its assertions of contracting violations. To-date, the distributor has not responded directly to Agilent or its attorneys and instead has launched a series of media postings and threatened a lawsuit.
Agilent has a long-standing commitment to conducting business with high integrity and has done so for more than 70 years.
