About this report

Carbon Hewlett-Packard Company’s carbon footprint in 2015 equaled 45,432,100 tonnes CO 2 e, 11% less than in 2014. Energy and paper consumed during customer use of our prod- ucts was responsible for more than half of 2015 emissions, and most of the decrease year over year. The key factor was an ongoing transition from larger desktops to smaller, less energy-intensive desktops, notebooks, and tablets. Improvements in server energy efficiency and decreased printer sales also contributed to the overall reduction. Moving forward, this illustrates the importance to HP of innovating to continually improve product energy efficiency and optimize paper use during printing. Greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain represented the second-largest contribution to the 2015 footprint, and the other main source of decrease compared to 2014. The volume and type of products manufactured by HP are the key drivers of emissions in this category. During 2015, an ongoing shift toward less materials-intensive personal systems, as well as lower printer sales, contributed to this decrease. HP Inc. remains committed to proactively managing and reducing supplier GHG emissions through goal-setting, supplier collaboration, and providing incentives for ongoing improvement. See Supply chain environmental impact for details.
