At HP, innovation is our lifeblood. We’re laying the foundation for a global innovation economy: As we move into the 21st century, the same engine of innovation that drove us out of the garage will take us to a future where technology is more pervasive, more intuitive and more relevant to society than ever before.
We’re continously aligning our technology and environment strategies to address sustainability challenges today and invest in ways to accelerate the low-carbon economy tomorrow. We embed sustainability into our broad portfolio of products and services, scientific research and development, supply chain, and operations throughout the world. Our technology breadth and industry reach give us an unmatched ability to make the kind of impact that is good for business, good for customers, and good for the planet.
At HP, we design for the environment across virtually every aspect of our business.
We strive to increase the energy efficiency of our own operations, improve environmental and social standards across our supply chain and lead important efforts to influence environmental responsibility in the technology industry.
We’re demonstrating through our strategies that environmental responsibility and business success go hand in hand - that doing what’s right for the environment is not only the right thing to do, but also a smart business practice.
Practical solutions
HP is helping our customers go green with PCs, workstations, displays, notebooks, servers, printers, TVs and many other products designed to reduce impact on the environment. Environmental responsibility makes financial sense for our customers, too. HP’s energy - saving IT solutions can help reduce power costs by up to 60 percent, while driving ever - greater computing performance. Gains in energy efficiency help cut facility costs as well, contributing to lower cost structures that can make a business more competitive.
HP offers a range of industry - leading, secure system reuse and recycling options in more than 50 countries and territories, making it convenient for customers to responsibly recycle everything from print cartridges to computing systems.
Smart innovation
HP believes technology can be a powerful tool in reducing environmental impact and fighting global climate change. We help drive advances in resource conservation worldwide by building energy - saving intelligence into our products, developing new technologies and IT strategies to help businesses run more efficiently, and exploring materials innovations that reduce waste throughout product lifecycles.
Industry influence
HP works with industry partners, supply chain members and policymakers worldwide to pursue progressive environmental goals and standards for the technology sector.
HP believes companies, governments and organizations worldwide must work in tandem to address climate change. In 2006, HP and the World Wildlife Fund launched a joint initiative to advance the study of climate change, raise global awareness, and increase the adoption of consumer and business best practices. Through this partnership HP is working to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions and expand energy efficiency in our products. We’re also contributing more than $2 million in equipment and funds to support WWF conservation efforts around the world.
Company stewardship
As a large, global corporation, our actions can have far-reaching effects. That’s why we continually work to reduce our own energy consumption and waste, while increasing recycling at our facilities. Our goal is to reduce the combined energy consumption of the company’s operations and products by 16 percent below 2005 levels by 2010. And we’ve found that reducing the environmental impact of our operations makes economic sense as well.
