About this report

Collaboration We work closely with our partners to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging. We work with vendors to increase the amount of recycled and sustainably harvested fiber, and we provide detailed guidelines on environmentally responsible packaging design. HP prefers suppliers that demonstrate strong environmental performance and a commitment to sourcing from responsibly managed forests. As members of the WWF- led Global Forest and Trade Network (GFTN), we are working to ensure full traceability of virgin fiber and to increase the amount of certified fiber where possible, with a preference for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®)-certified fiber. PEFC Chain of Custody certification or relevant national certification schemes that comply with our paper policy can also be used. We also participate in the IEEE 1680.1 Committee (EPEAT for PCs) to establish product and packaging-related environmental requirements for the selection and pro- curement of electronics products. Progress in 2015 In 2015, packaging innovations for printing and personal systems products by Hewlett-Packard Company and its suppliers produced the following environmental and cost benefits: • 12,700 tonnes of CO 2 e avoided • 5,700 tonnes of packaging material reduced, compared to previous-generation products • 14,800 tonnes of recycled foam and wood packaging material used • 257 tonnes of recycled cushion material used • $9 million saved The following examples illustrate the range of packaging innovations across our product portfolio. These are selected from more than 30 packaging improvement projects com- pleted or initiated in 2015.
