About this report

Sustainable design solutions HP products bring sustainable design to life. We produce laptops, workstations, print- ers, and accessories that do more for our customers while requiring less energy and resources to make and use. And we deliver products that can be easily reused and re- cycled. HP products account for most of our carbon and water footprints, so improved design is the most effective way to reduce our environmental impact while delivering value to customers. Our long-standing Design for the Environment (DfE) program, founded in 1992, sets out the approach, tools, and processes that guide our product design teams and more than 50 environmental product stewards. The high percentage of HP products that meet in- dependent eco-label certification demonstrates the importance we place on sustainable product design. (See Communicating product environmental performance .) HP uses formal, audited management systems and rigorous frameworks in our design processes. For example, product design and development operations for our HP LaserJet Enterprise Solutions and Personal Systems product groups are ISO 14001 certified. This demonstrates that our entire design process across these two product areas adheres to the environmental management systems standard. In addition, we conduct audits of our design and compliance activities, benchmark against industry best practices, and where appropriate, seek external environmental certification for our products. Our DfE program focuses on the following areas: • Materials innovation : We strive to use materials that have lower environmental im- pacts and use less material overall. Where possible, we use materials with increased recycled and recyclable content—see Materials • Energy efficiency : We design products that require less energy to manufacture and use—see Energy efficiency • Products-as-a-service : We continue to expand our product-based service offerings, such as HP Managed Print Services , HP Instant Ink , and PC Services • End-of-service options : We make product return and recycling easy for our custom- ers—see Product return and recycling Our DfE program is an important driver of business value. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Com- pany engaged with customers whose combined green procurement requirements totaled $15 billion of existing and potential business revenue ($10 billion specifically related to HP Inc.), demonstrating that the company was well positioned to meet those needs.
