About this report

Overview On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company separated into two companies—HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HP Inc. (HP) is a leading global personal systems and printing business. This report includes performance data from Hewlett-Packard Company through FY2015 (which ended October 31, 2015), unless stated otherwise. The document also describes HP’s sustainability policies and programs moving forward. In many cases, these continue and build on policies and programs of Hewlett-Packard Company. HP intends to report yearly on its social and environmental progress, following the stan- dard Hewlett-Packard Company met each year since 2001. This report provides in-depth information to stakeholders including customers, industry analysts, socially responsible investors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), employees, sustainability specialists, governments, and others. To guide our disclosure, we consider external standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and the United Nations Global Compact, as well as reporting trends and strong practices. Our sustainability website provides summary information for readers seeking a higher-level overview of our approach and performance, and in some areas, additional detail. Previous reports are available on the reporting page. Scope, dates, and measures • The information in this report is current as of the date of its initial publication. This report has not been updated to reflect any changes that may have occurred after such date, including any changes to HP’s business or strategy. HP assumes no obligation and does not intend to update this report to reflect any such changes. • The information in this report covers Hewlett-Packard Company and HP Inc. opera- tions but does not cover joint ventures. • All references to years are to HP’s fiscal year, which ends October 31, unless stated otherwise. • All references to dollars are to U.S. dollars. • “Tonnes” refers to metric tons. Metrics and goals The metrics in this report are legacy Hewlett-Packard Company data, unless stated otherwise. Collecting data from hundreds of sites worldwide is complex, and the process can vary by issue, business unit, function, and geography. As a result, it can be difficult to define and implement metrics for the entire company. We continue to standardize our measurement systems and metrics. Data is rounded to reflect the appropriate level of certainty. Reporting performance beyond our immediate operations can also be challenging. For example, we must make assumptions when estimating Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, product energy consumption and resulting GHG emissions, and the percentage of HP products sold that are recycled. Where appropriate, we describe the context for performance data to help readers understand any limitations and draw appropriate conclusions.
