About this report

Reporting ethics concerns

Open-door approach HP maintains a strong culture of open communication and transparency. We encourage anyone with a concern to speak up without fear of retaliation. Multiple communication channels make it convenient for employees and other stakeholders, such as workers in supplier factories, business partners, or customers, to ask questions or report a concern. These options include email, an online form, in person, and a global 24-hour toll-free hotline with translators available. Reporting can be anonymous where allowed by law, and we provide prompt followup and responses. In addition, employees can reach out at any time to their immediate supervisor or more senior managers, seek advice from internal ethics and compliance experts, or consult regional or business SBC liaisons.
