About this report

External verification Obtaining assurance helps demonstrate that the information provided in our Sustainabil- ity Report describes our performance accurately and completely. In 2015, HP engaged external assurance provider Ernst & Young LLP (EY) to perform an independent review of a selected number of key performance indicators in our 2015 Sus- tainability Report. This process was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, including AT-101. For a full listing of the indicators within the scope of EY’s review, please see the Independent accountants’ review report . In addition, the following data in this report received external assurance during the year: Product reuse and recycling In 2015, through ERM, Hewlett-Packard Company audited 58 vendor facilities (25 reuse and 33 recycling) in 20 countries. This included repeat au- dits of 21 reuse vendors and 28 recycling vendors to evaluate their ongoing commitment to responsible practices and improved performance. Learn more in Vendor audits . Supply chain responsibility HP engages third-party audit firms to conduct verification audits of our suppliers’ social and environmental responsibility performance against HP Supplier Code of Conduct requirements.
