Water With record drought affecting many regions, water availability is a growing concern. While HP’s operations are not water intensive, we are committed to reducing our consumption, particularly in water-stressed regions. We use the WBCSD Global Water Tool to assess water scarcity and identify HP sites that are considered water stressed. To promote trans- parency, we take part in the CDP water program. Key water reduction initiatives around the world in 2015 that will continue at HP include: • Smart meters Six Hewlett-Packard Company sites located in Israel installed nearly 100 smart meters which alert staff to potential water leaks and suspicious water flows. Fixing these leaks has reduced water use by 20–25% on average. In 2016, we will expand use of this technology to other sites in Europe and plan to launch our first pilot in the United States. • Improved irrigation and landscaping Two Hewlett-Packard Company sites in Cal- ifornia, now shared by HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, responded to local drought conditions by changing landscape and irrigation practices. The Roseville site cut water consumption for irrigation by 34% compared to 2014 and 70% compared to 2013 by upgrading the irrigation control system and adhering to a strict watering schedule. The San Jose Aviation site completed a turf removal project estimated to save more than 11,300 cubic meters of water per year. • Water infrastructure upgrades In Guadalajara, Mexico, a Hewlett-Packard Company site inherited by HP Inc. replaced leaking pipes and a pump that feed well water into a site cistern. Once fixed, water consumption dropped approximately 80%, saving an estimated 60,000 cubic meters of water per year. Hewlett-Packard Company consumed 7,226,000 cubic meters of water in 2015, mainly for use in buildings, cooling, and landscape irrigation. Water use decreased by 3% compared to 2014 across all facilities and decreased by 5% at the company’s 44 priority sites in water-stressed regions. Main factors included decreases in irrigation in drought-affected areas and resolution of substantial leaks at several locations, identified by facility managers or detected by smart meters.
