1 Varian Sustainability Report 2014 GRI Index The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a not-for-profit organization that promotes sustainability. It provides a comprehensive reporting framework that enables all companies and organizations to disclose their sustainability performance. Varian has achieved an Application Level B.

Annual 3.4 Contact point for questions regarding the report or its contents. 3.5 Process for defining report content. Weaving sustainability into business strategy, p5 6 In 2011, independent sustainability experts BSR ran an in-depth materiality process and held a series of workshops with business and corporate leaders at Varian. This process yielded the four thematic areas that we continue to report to: health access and outcomes, safety and responsibility, environment, and colleagues and communities. The sustainability team reviews this on an annual basis to ensure the thematic areas and content still reflect the key issues for the business and Varian s stakeholders. On pages 8, 16, 23 and 29 we have shown how the business strategy aligns and supports the four thematic areas. The primary stakeholders for the report are ESG-focused investors, employees, and customers. 3.6 Boundary of the report (e.g., countries, divisions, subsidiaries, leased facilities, joint ventures, suppliers). See GRI Boundary Protocol for further guidance. 3.7 State any specific limitations on the scope or boundary of the report (see completeness principle for explanation of scope). 3.8 Basis for reporting on joint ventures, subsidiaries, leased facilities, outsourced operations, and other entities that can significantly affect comparability from period to period and/or between organizations. 3.9 Data measurement techniques and the bases of calculations, including assumptions and techniques underlying estimations applied to the compilation of the Indicators and other information in the report.

Governance, Commitments, and Engagement PROFILE DISCLOSURE LEVEL LOCATION OF DISCLOSURE 4.1 Governance structure of the organization, including committees under the highest governance body responsible for specific tasks, such as setting strategy or organizational oversight. 4.2 Indicate whether the Chair of the highest governance body is also an executive officer. 4.3 For organizations that have a unitary board structure, state the number of members of the highest governance body that are independent and/or non-executive members. 4.4 Mechanisms for shareholders and employees to provide recommendations or direction to the highest governance body. 4.5 Linkage between compensation for members of the highest governance body, senior managers, and executives (including departure arrangements), and the organization s performance (including social and environmental performance). 4.6 Processes in place for the highest governance body to ensure conflicts of interest are avoided. 4.7 Process for determining the qualifications and expertise of the members of the highest governance body for guiding the organization s strategy on economic, environmental, and social topics. Members of the governance body are selected based on role rather than personal expertise. As this is a company-wide program, Varian considers it vital that the leaders of the three business units are actively involved, along with the senior corporate leaders, particularly the CEO, CFO and General Counsel. More information about the Board and committees can be found online in the Corporate Governance section: CorporateGovernance 4.8 Internally developed statements of mission or values, codes of conduct, and principles relevant to economic, environmental, and social performance and the status of their implementation. 4.9 Procedures of the highest governance body for overseeing the organization s identification and management of economic, environmental, and social performance, including relevant risks and opportunities, and adherence or compliance with internationally agreed standards, codes of conduct, and principles Processes for evaluating the highest governance body s own performance, particularly with respect to economic, environmental, and social performance Explanation of whether and how the precautionary approach or principle is addressed by the organization Externally developed economic, environmental, and social charters, principles, or other initiatives to which the organization subscribes or endorses Memberships in associations (such as industry associations) and/ or national/international advocacy organizations in which the organization: * Has positions in governance bodies; * Participates in projects or committees; * Provides substantive funding beyond routine membership dues; or * Views membership as strategic. From our CEO, p3 Varian s values, p33 Safety and responsibility Our approach, p17 More information about the Board and committees can be found online in the Corporate Governance section: CorporateGovernance Senior leaders in the company are rewarded for growing operating profit dollars. Varian views effective CSR as beneficial to the bottom line optimized ESG activities can have significant cost-saving and efficiency benefits. Ultimately, the governance committee will be rewarded for such efficiency savings. However, there is no formal evaluation program on their performance in this area. Varian is in the business of helping to save lives; we are a risk adverse business. We therefore adopt the precautionary approach: where there may be threats of serious or irreversible impact but a lack of full scientific certainty, we will not use this as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent negative or harmful environmental or social impacts.
