Human rights

Our respect for human rights is a core value, essential to the way we do business. We have an uncompromising stance on human rights across our value chain and our influ- ence touches many communities worldwide. We engage extensively with our suppliers to protect workers and improve labor standards. In our own operations, we promote a di- verse and inclusive culture and have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind among our employees. For our customers, HP is committed to delivering a data-rich society where personal privacy is protected. Human rights policies and practices are embedded in all three pillars of our Sustainability Strategy—environment, society, and integrity. Following the company separation, HP Inc. is maintaining the same strong position on human rights, adopting the key elements of Hewlett-Packard Company’s human rights policy directly into our HP Sustainability Policy . Managing human rights Human rights are the fundamental rights, freedoms, and standards of treatment to which all people are entitled. They are outlined in international conventions, declara- tions, and treaties, including the United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Our approach to respecting human rights aligns with the UN Guiding Prin- ciples on Business and Human Rights. HP is also a signatory to the UN Global Compact , which includes several principles in this area. To put our commitments into practice, we conduct risk assessments and due diligence on business activities that have the potential to impact human rights. We monitor our activities and risks, and swiftly remedy problems when they occur. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company embedded human rights risk assessment into the overall corporate compliance assessment process covering 11 corporate functions and business groups. From this assessment, top human rights risks facing the company were identified, including labor practices of production suppliers and the privacy of customer data. HP will continue to build on this work to monitor and address top human rights risks across our value chain.
