Supply chain responsibility

To meet rapidly evolving business needs and consumer preferences, HP’s business relies on one of the most dynamic and extensive supply chains in the information technology (IT) industry, spanning six continents, hundreds of production suppliers, and tens of thousands of nonproduction 1 suppliers. From tablets and PCs to inkjet printers and web presses, each unique product in our technology portfolio requires a vast range of supplier capabilities. We provide economic opportunities for a diverse group of suppliers world- wide, and use our global reach to drive lasting improvements for everyone, everywhere. Improving workers’ lives is our ultimate objective, and we strive to raise social and envi- ronmental responsibility (SER) standards across our industry by sharing the experience we gain and challenges we face along the way. Our Supply Chain Responsibility Program aims to empower workers and ensure that human rights are respected throughout our supply chain. Together with our suppliers, we collaborate to improve working conditions, enhance environmental performance , and source minerals responsibly. Our program also contributes to sustainable growth and innovation, while helping HP meet or exceed customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
