About this report

Nonproduction suppliers Nonproduction suppliers provide HP with important goods and services that are not di- rectly related to product manufacture, such as staffing, telecommunications, and travel (excluding product transport). We source these goods and services from a wide variety of industries, so we collaborate with select suppliers to help reduce their environmental impacts in ways that are appropriate for their size and sector.  We also offer training and support to improve suppliers’ environmental reporting. In 2015, the number of Hewlett-Packard Company’s nonproduction strategic suppliers that pro- duced environmental reports increased by 15% compared to 2014. In 2014, Hewlett-Packard Company nonproduction supplier Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions attributable to the company equaled 700,000 tonnes CO 2 e, a 46% decrease from the prior year. We believe this reflects more sophisticated reporting by some suppliers rather than a substantial reduction in emissions. Moving forward, HP will continue to build on our supplier partnerships to improve reporting consistency and decrease emissions. Waste Supporting our suppliers’ efforts to decrease waste helps reduce the environmental footprint of HP products. For guidance on waste management and minimization practices, we refer suppliers to the Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) Environmental Reference Tools. HP collects and reports production suppliers’ waste-generation data to encourage greater awareness and reduction effort. We are working with suppliers to enhance the coverage and accuracy of the waste data they collect. In 2014, Hewlett-Packard Company’s production suppliers generated 213,000 tonnes of nonhazardous waste attributable to the company, a 31% increase from the prior year. Production supplier hazardous waste generation also increased in 2014, totaling 85,000 tonnes, 15% more than in 2013. We believe this reflects improved supplier data collection and reporting processes. During the year, 59% of Hewlett-Packard Company production suppliers had waste-related goals.
