Sustainability strategy

At HP, we believe in reinvention. We believe that technology should make life better for everyone, everywhere—and in so doing, make a better world. Sustainability is a powerful force for innovation. It drives progress toward our business priorities, from designing and delivering our core products and services, to developing new business models and solutions that generate growth. It also helps us unlock value and shape the future through breakthrough technologies such as 3D printing. Through these efforts, we create value for our customers and our business. Our approach covers the broad range of sustainability issues across three pillars: • Environment: HP is reinventing how products are designed, manufactured, used, and recovered as we shift our business model and operations toward a materials- and energy-efficient circular economy. Working with our supply chain partners and others, we are reducing the environmental impact of our products at every stage of the value chain. We invest heavily in R&D to help customers stay ahead of what’s next, and enable them to seize new opportunities while advancing their own sustainability priorities. Through industry-leading return and recycling programs, we aim to keep products and materials in circulation for as long as possible, while continuing to drive further closed loop innovations. • Society: We’re using our technology, innovation, and scale to help solve society’s toughest challenges. Throughout our supply chain, we empower workers and ensure protections for the people who make our products. We demonstrate a deep com- mitment to our employees, who are central to our company’s success, and we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive company and industry. And, we work with business and nonprofit partners to use our technology, capital, and resources to help develop strong, resilient communities and transform vital sectors like education and healthcare. • Integrity: HP is committed to always acting with integrity, fairness, and accountability, which are fundamental to an inclusive society and a thriving business. We are uncom- promising in our expectations of ethical behavior by our employees, partners, and suppliers. We have structures, programs, and processes to safeguard human rights across our value chain. Through robust policies, protocols and controls, we secure the right to privacy of our customers and employees. This commitment to responsible corporate citizenship ensures that HP is a trusted partner to our customers and all of our stakeholders.
