About this report

Working across these three pillars, HP is reinventing how we make, use, and regenerate technology so businesses, communities, and individuals can thrive. Setting clear goals helps guide our actions and ensure that we are continually improving our performance. This year, we had a unique opportunity to shape the future of our new company by setting long-term goals such as committing to 100% renewable electricity in our global operations , zero deforestation , and reducing the GHG emissions intensity of HP’s product portfolio by 25% by 2020 , compared to 2010. In the coming years, we will set more goals to drive progress in other areas. In September 2015, we also expressed our support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will continue working to ensure their success. View an index of our activities in support of the SDGs. Our material issues We periodically conduct materiality assessments to clarify and shape our sustainability strategy, goal setting, and investments. Building on the model previously established, in 2015 we produced a materiality assessment for HP Inc. Working with the consultancy BSR, we reviewed internal documents, interviewed key stakeholders, and considered developments in our industry and emerging trends in sus- tainability. We also took into account leading reporting frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards. The resulting matrix maps issues based on relative importance to sustainable devel- opment and to HP’s business success, and categorizes each based on the three pillars of our strategy: environment, society, and integrity. Issues in the four upper-right-hand sections fall above the materiality threshold for the purpose of this report. Topics below the materiality threshold are not covered in as much detail, but remain important to HP’s sustainability and business strategies. The results confirmed the continued priority of several topics and identified key areas of increased importance. Several overarching themes and insights emerged from the analysis, including an increased focus on the upstream and downstream impacts of our products and the importance of fostering innovations to support a circular economy. Additional information about the issues covered by our materiality matrix including their definitions, corresponding GRI G4 Aspects, and the boundary of each Aspect can be found Global Reporting Initiative index and throughout this report.
