About this report

Financial wellness Financial issues can be a major source of stress. To support employees, we provide financial wellness workshops and webcasts covering topics such as saving, investing, retirement planning, and debt management. In 2015, we launched My HP Financial Wellness, a website employees worldwide can customize to their financial situation. In the United States, we sponsored an online Financial Boot Camp featuring weekly, 5- to 30-minute activities in the office to heighten employees’ financial management knowl- edge and skills. Our focus in 2016 will remain on financial literacy training, resources, and education for employees. Health and safety HP employees work in offices, production facilities, warehouses, and labs. We design all these working environments to keep our employees healthy, safe, and productive. Our health and safety programs, communications, and training focus on the risks most relevant to our business—primarily slips, trips and falls, ergonomic injuries, and chemicals handling. How we stay safe We continually monitor and improve environmental, health, and safety (EHS) man- agement processes globally to make them more efficient and effective. Our approach includes staying up to date on changes in health and safety legislation and standardizing how we assess risks and meet legal requirements everywhere we operate. To ensure employee health and safety, all HP sites follow our rigorous EHS policy and EHS management system. The latter aligns with two stringent leading standards: We use a health and safety data-collection and tracking system to monitor injury trends regionally and globally, and to report our performance. In 2015, Hewlett Packard Company’s internal auditors certified our global EHS audit program as meeting Institute of Internal Auditors guidelines. This more fully aligns our approach with other standards used internally in areas such as finance and data security. This certification continues to apply to HP in 2016. Managing chemicals globally Chemical applications are a necessary part of making many HP products. Handling chem- icals poses a potential safety risk to some HP employees. Our efforts to manage chemical use are guided by international best practice. In 2015, we continued to implement the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals worldwide, com- pleting the process in the United States and making progress globally. We created teams to address regional and site implementation issues, including labeling requirements, continu- ing to update site chemical inventories, adding the newly formatted Safety Data Sheets to inventories, and improving our electronic chemical management system to enable easier chemical inventorying and container labeling. HP will continue to manage chemicals using the same processes implemented at the Hewlett-Packard Company. • ANZI Z10, American National Standards Institute • ILO-OSH 2001, International Labour Organization
