Solar panel installation at HP San Diego, California, United States

HP’s commitment to transformative innovation spans our entire value chain, including our operations. While HP’s offices and manufacturing facilities represent only a small percentage of our overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water use, we strive to model best practice and to continually improve our performance. Our on-site sustain- ability policies, programs, and partnerships benefit our business and the environment and deliver value for our customers. In early 2016, we bolstered our commitment to sustainability by pledging to achieve 100% renewable electricity usage in our global operations. To support these efforts, we joined RE100, a global initiative led by the Climate Group of top businesses committed to using 100% renewable electricity to lead the transformation of global energy markets. As an important step to achieving this ambition, HP set a goal to reach 40% renewable electricity in our global operations by 2020, underscoring the company’s dedication to integrating sustainability into its core business strategy.
