About this report

Through 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company reduced freshwater consumption per employee at office sites by 26% compared to 2010, achieving its goal of a 20% decrease by 2020. Decreased consumption coupled with higher head count were the main drivers to meeting this goal five years early. Hewlett-Packard Company recycled and/or reused 291,600 cubic meters of water glob- ally in 2015. Initiatives included: • Reusing gray water Sites in India and Israel use gray water for landscaping and toilet flushing. • Reclaiming rejected high purity water A facility in Singapore reused rejected high-purity water in cooling towers. Our Corvallis plant in Oregon recycled reject water from high-purity water operations back into the process or reused it in acid exhaust scrubbers.

Wastewater Wastewater is not a significant environmental aspect of HP operations. Our six imaging and printing product-manufacturing facilities generate process effluents that are pretreated, strictly monitored, and discharged under government-issued permits to municipal waste- water plants for further treatment. We implement procedures to prevent unauthorized discharges of chemicals to our facility wastewater systems and ensure that these sites do not discharge wastewater directly to surface water or to groundwater.

Operations 2020 goal

We are committed to sourcing 100% of our electricity for our global operations from renewable energy. As an interim goal, we will work to achieve 40% renewable electricity for our global operations by 2020.
