SEC Conflict Minerals Report In May 2016, HP filed its Conflict Minerals Report and Form SD with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing HP’s due diligence efforts and results with respect to necessary conflict minerals contained in HP products. See HP’s SEC Conflict Minerals Report . Supplier diversity Our customers span the globe and come from all backgrounds and walks of life. By hiring suppliers that reflect this diversity, we strengthen our business, support innovation in our supply chain, and enhance the economies of local communities worldwide. Diversity management HP’s Global Supplier Diversity Office encourages and supports small businesses and companies owned by women, minorities, veterans, aboriginal or indigenous peo- ple, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals to compete for business. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company had supplier diversity programs and partnerships in Australia, Canada, China, Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To strengthen how we manage supply chain diversity at HP, in the coming year we will: • Align supply chain diversity efforts more closely with HP’s corporate diversity and inclusion strategy • Focus on collaborations that most effectively build long-term relationships and new business with diverse suppliers • Collaborate with the U.S. Small Business Administration in compliance with federal requirements to mentor and develop U.S. small businesses Diversity performance In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company’s U.S. spend on small business suppliers was approximately $2.467 billion, a decrease of 27% compared to 2014. Spending on U.S. minority-owned and women-owned businesses also declined, by 40%, totaling $916 million in 2015. These reductions resulted from the rationalization program conducted across Hewlett-Packard Company’s supplier base in preparation for the separation into two companies. See Data for more detail. In addition, Hewlett-Packard Company spent nearly $222 million with diverse small- and medium-enterprise (SME) suppliers in the UK and Ireland in 2015, as well as $2.2 million with Canadian diverse suppliers. Supplier development HP supports diverse suppliers through partnerships, mentoring, and development activities that spur their growth. Key specialist partners include the global Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and the National Minority Supplier Devel- opment Council (NMSDC) in the United States. We are currently evaluating our partner- ships around the world to maximize impact, focusing on programs that directly connect diverse suppliers to new business.
