Summary of benefits

HP LaserJet: Reduced the size of the package for the HP LaserJet Pro M227 printer by 46% as a result of the product’s reduced size HP LaserJet: Reduced the size of the package for the HP LaserJet Pro M326/M427 printer by 33% HP LaserJet supplies: Changed packaging for some LaserJet supplies to 100% recycled content thermo- formed cushions Desktops: Used 100% recycled materials in some new North American desktop product cushions Notebooks: Optimized foam cushion geometry to reduce weight for some Notebooks

* Avoidance, reductions, and savings data are based on comparisons of current and prior generations of packaging, either for the same or comparable products. All savings and reductions occurred during the fabrication phase of the packaging life cycle. All savings are for fiscal year 2015 (November 2014–October 2015) unless otherwise indicated. Some estimates of benefits were calculated using production forecast data.

Ongoing programs Several ongoing initiatives continued to deliver environmental and financial savings. • Recycled pallets : In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company continued to collaborate with North American suppliers on a recycled pallet program, avoiding the use of 665,000 new pallets and saving 30.7 million board feet of lumber since 2012. • Non-heat-treated pallets : Pallets sourced internationally are often heat treated to reduce the risk of transferring insect species between locations. Hewlett-Packard Company sourced more than 480,000 pallets for North American shipments that use domestically grown timber, which do not need to be heat treated. This avoided 428 tonnes of CO 2 e emissions in 2015. • Innovative materials : We continue to investigate alternative cushion materials, such as mushroom-based and corn-based foam. In 2015, we piloted the use of bags made with AirCarbon™, a SCS Global Services-verified carbon-neutral material from Newlight technologies, made from sequestered CO 2 emissions. 39 • Recycled content : HP continues to collaborate to design packaging solutions that use 100% recycled polyethylene foam. Products and solutions 2020 goals Reduce the GHG emissions intensity of HP’s product portfolio by 25% by 2020, compared to 2010. 40 All HP brand paper and paper-based product packaging 41 will be derived from certified and recycled sources by 2020 to meet our objective of zero deforestation.
