About this report

Sustainable building design Our building design guidelines prompt project managers to consider sustainable prac- tices. Enhancing how we design and maintain buildings with sustainability in mind cuts costs, improves energy efficiency, and reduces GHG emissions, water consumption, materials use, and waste. We will expand and refine these guidelines as technology continues to develop. HP facilities worldwide consider sustainable building standards such as LEED® and Green Mark. We plan to certify two buildings in Vancouver, Washington, United States, and Beijing, China, to LEED® standards during 2016. Renewable energy Carbon-neutral, renewable energy is central to our global strategy for GHG emissions reduction from operations. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company added 300 kW of solar capacity at the company’s Kiryat Gat, Israel, facility. HP Inc. currently operates five sites with 2.5 MW of combined installed solar capacity and we support the Energy Buyers Principles . In 2016, we intend to increase both our on-site generation of renewable energy and our use of renewable energy generated off-site through power purchase agreements (PPAs). We also plan to explore more on-site solar energy installations. Performance In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company’s installed capacity of on-site renewable energy rose to 9.6 MW, a 62% increase from 2014 and a 377% increase from 2011. Two new solar installations were completed in 2015 in California and Massachusetts, sites now owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which added approximately 3.4 MW of capacity. A utility-scale off-site wind farm PPA in Texas was contracted for 12 years with an annual generation of approximately 450,000 MWh. Moving forward, the renewable energy credits (RECs) for this project will be assigned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Hewlett-Packard Company purchased 814 million kWh of renewable energy from outside providers in 2015, mostly through energy contracts in Ireland, the UK, and other European countries, plus renewable energy credits in the United States. Additionally, Hewlett-Packard Company purchased 93 million kWh of no/low-carbon energy from outside providers in 2015 through energy contracts in various European countries. Business travel and commuting We have a large workforce whose business travel and commuting habits affect our carbon footprint, and we work to facilitate lower-impact transportation choices for all our employees. Our business travel tools and HP auto fleet drive progress in this area. • Business travel: Our vehicle rental companies provide U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay® certified models when available, and we offer shared rides in large cars, vans, or shuttle buses to major events. We also promote hotels that meet environmental standards such as LEED®, ISO 14001, or Nordic Swan. During 2015, 71% of Hewlett-Packard Company employee room nights were at hotels determined to be in the top four based on environmental considerations such as water and energy conservation. Our intranet travel portal provides information about travel alternatives such as virtual collaboration tools, energy-efficient forms of transportation such as rail, and ways to reduce environmental impact on the road.
