About this report

As corruption-related risks arise, we work to control them and make doing so easier for employees. In 2015, we created an IT system to streamline approvals related to business amenities, and will continue to improve screening, approvals, and training in this area moving forward. Audits and best practices HP employs strict due diligence procedures to assess high risk regions and third-party business partners. Using internal data and Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, we identify high-risk countries and elevate employee awareness of potential issues. We also benchmark our approach against peer companies to identify best practices. This informs how we prioritize employee education and training, reassess our own operational procedures, and better scrutinize the operations of our suppliers and partners. Auditing our operations and those of our business partners is an important control to guard against corruption. During 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company conducted numer- ous audits focused on potential corruption risks, including audits of our own operations as well as business partners. All of Hewlett-Packard Company’s business units were assessed for risks related to corruption during the year. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Com- pany continued to expand due diligence to include other third parties, including controls related to sales intermediaries or “agents,” suppliers, lobbyists, and the rescreening of existing channel reseller partners. We continued to perform enhanced anti-corruption due diligence on business partners and suppliers with high-risk profiles. Anti-corruption training Communication and training reinforce anti-corruption policies and foster a culture of integrity throughout our company. Anti-corruption is a key element of the annual SBC refresher training course for all employees, and we also provide specialist training to staff in sensitive jobs. For example, in 2015: • More than 10,700 Hewlett-Packard Company staff worldwide received specialist train- ing in 23 live (face-to-face and virtual) sessions. • The company expanded scenario-based training and online courses to a wider employee audience, including those in sales, finance, and public sector. Participation grew from 26,000 sales employees in 2014 to more than 70,000 in 2015. • More than 30,000 employees completed training tailored to the unique requirements of conducting business with the U.S. government. • Legal and finance employees who review and approve business amenities received training on the Global Business Amenities Policy and the Amenities Approval Tool. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company increased focus on ethics and compliance for new employees to emphasize a culture of integrity at the beginning of employment. We require all new hires to complete the SBC training and targeted individuals to complete the anti-corruption training as part of their ethics and compliance induction process. We conduct global messaging year-round to reinforce compliance policies, controls, and training, which is intensified around critical business times.
