We are committed to helping our customers recycle responsibly, recovering 2.8 billion pounds of products since 1987. More than 75% of our ink cartridges and 24% of HP LaserJet toner cartridges are now manufactured with closed loop recycled plastic.1 Our remanufacturing programs give IT hardware, such as printers, personal systems and monitors, a new lease of life, reducing environmental impacts from disposal. We only recycle products that cannot be reused.

Our Footprint

On an annual basis, we report our sustainability achievements

View complete footprint

Carbon footprint

36,243,700 tonnes CO2e

In 2016, our carbon footprint was 1% less than our emissions in 2015.

Supply chain 45% New goal to reduce first-tier production supplier and product transportation-related GHG emissions intensity by 2025, compared to 20151

Greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain result mainly from the raw materials used in, and manufacture of, our products.

Operations 2%New goal to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from our global operations by 2025, compared to 2015

Greenhouse gas emissions from our operations result mainly from the energy used by our facilities around the world.

Products & Solutions 53%New goal to reduce GHG emissions intensity2 of HPs product portfolio by 2020, compared to 2010

Emissions from the energy our products and solutions consume after sale, while used by customers.

Water footprint

207,228,000 cubic meters

In 2016, our water footprint was 12% less than in 2015.

Supply chain 22%

Our suppliers affect our water footprint primarily through their use of electricity. We encourage suppliers to use and discharge water responsibly, and provide tools that improve water management practices.

Operations 3%

While our operations are not water intensive, water availability is a growing concern. We are committed to using less water, especially at operations in water-stressed regions.

Products & Solutions 75%

Customers using our products account for most of our water footprint. This water is indirectly consumed through using electricity to power our devices and through paper manufacture.

Reinventing how products are designed, manufactured, used, and recovered as we shift our business model and operations toward a circular and low-carbon economy

Using our technology, innovation, and scale to create a more just and inclusive society

Acting with integrity, fairness, and accountability, which are fundamental to an inclusive society and a thriving business

Disclaimer

1. Intensity is calculated as the portion of first-tier production and product transportation suppliers reported GHG emissions attributable to HP divided by HPs annual revenue. This method normalizes performance based on business productivity. Intensity is reported as a three-year rolling average to decrease the impact of variance year over year and highlight longer-term trends. Production supplier GHG emissions include Scope 1 and Scope 2. Taking into account the separation of Hewlett-Packard Company on November 1, 2015, calculation for all years uses HP revenue and spend associated with the business units that are now a part of HP Inc.

2.HP product GHG emissions intensity measures GHG emissions during product lifetime use per unit for personal systems and per printed page for printers based on anticipated usage. These values are then weighted by contribution of personal systems and printing products to overall revenue. These emissions represent more than 99% of HP product units shipped each year, including notebooks, tablets, desktops, thin clients, displays, mobile computing devices, and workstations; and HP inkjet, LaserJet, DesignJet, Indigo and Scitex printers, PageWide presses and scanners. Through 2016, progress against this goal equaled a 19% decrease.

We believe sustainability is a powerful force for growth and innovation, in the world and at HP.

At HP, were reinventing for a better world. Sustainability guides every aspect of our business, fuels our innovation and growth, and works to enable everyone, everywhere to thrive. It is the right thing to do for our business, for society, and for the long-term future of our planet.

Our world faces difficult challenges, including climate change, inadequate access to quality education, economic and gender inequalities, and unfair labor practices.

Were encouraged to see governments, corporations, organizations, and individuals supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2016, HP made meaningful progress on 15 of the 17 SDGs, and set bold new targets in key areas where we can have the greatest impact -- including two major goals to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our operations and supply chain.

We are furthering our efforts to protect and empower workers across our supply chain to ensure the people who make our products can thrive at work, at home, and in their communities.

We also are making strides in propelling a circular, low-carbon economy -- continuing to transition our company and our customers from linear take, make, discard use and manufacturing processes toward a more circular make, use, return approach. For instance, through an innovative partnership, hundreds of people in Haiti are collecting recyclables to help support their families, and plastic bottles are finding a new purpose in creating HP ink cartridges. This program not only supports full-circle innovation and helps keep plastic out of the waterways that drain into the Caribbean Sea, but it also provides the people of Haiti with access to new social and economic opportunities.

Were also shifting from transactional product sales to service models, delivering better value to our customers with less waste and cost. With innovations in industrial 3D printing and digital publishing, were working to transform industries and accelerate a materials-efficient economy.

Inclusive and quality education is essential for people to improve their lives and livelihoods. We help bring quality education and digital literacy to people where they areincluding refugees and those living in underserved communities with no access to information technology. More than 9.5 million people have benefited from our efforts to improve the quality of learning since the beginning of 2015 -- and we are committed to enabling better learning outcomes for millions more.

Were proud of our progress, and were inspired by the positive impact were seeing. But theres still work to be done. Every day is a chance to turn change into opportunity, set the bar higher, and keep reinventing for a better world.

You can find more information on HP's goals and sustainability efforts in our report.

Regards,

Dion Weisler

President and Chief Executive Officer, HP Inc.

Sustainability Highlights

Through our actions and investments, we strengthen our communities and enable the sustainable development of society at large; we minimize the environmental footprint of our customers, operations and supply chain; and we act with integrity and respect for human rights around the world.

Environment

Products and solutions

We continually innovate to reduce the environmental footprint of products and solutions across our portfolio, proactively developing technologies that help to solve some of societys most serious environmental challenges.

Honored to receive the highest possible CDP carbon disclosure score100 pointsand an A rating on carbon-reduction performance.Became the first global IT company to set GHG emissions reduction goals for all three parts of its value chain, by adding an ambitious products goal to reduce the GHG emissions intensity1 of our product portfolio through 2014, compared to 20102.PageWide Technology business printer HP OfficeJet Enterprise X offers a step-change in materials use, generating up to 94% less supplies and packaging waste than comparable laser printers3.

We provide an extensive network of product take-back programs in 734 countries and territories.

Added a new closed-loop process for polypropylene to our existing recycling programs, enabling us to produce new inkjet cartridges entirely from material recycled by our customers.Incorporated some recycled plastic in over 75% of HP inkjet cartridges shipped for commercial sale by the end of 2014.Recovered 157,500 tonnes of hardware (including HP and non-HP products) and supplies. Of this amount, we recovered 4.2 million computer hardware units weighing 39,100 tonnes for reuse and remarketing and recycled 118,400 tonnes.

HP operations

We relentlessly pursue reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, waste, water, and paper consumption in our worldwide operations.

Committed to 100% renewable electricity in 2016, joining the RE100 initiative to accelerate the transformation of the global energy market.Reduced GHG emissions from operations by 5.5%, decreased total waste by 11.5%, and cut water consumption by 3.1% in 2014, compared to 2013.

Supply chain environmental impact

We lead industry efforts to reduce GHG emissions, waste, and water withdrawal in our supply chain.

Helped production suppliers cut GHG emissions by 600,000 tonnes CO2e (cumulatively) since 2010, toward our goal of a two million tonne reduction between 2010 and 2020.Expanded our supplier Energy Efficiency Program in China and Southeast Asia to include 70 new HP supplier sites.Achieved an 18% reduction in first-tier manufacturing and product transportation-related GHG emissions intensity from 2010 through 2013.

Society

Supply chain responsibility

Awarded an A grade on CDP Supplier Climate A List for our climate performance, among the top 2% of suppliers disclosing through CDPs supply chain program.Achieved 84% of workers related to HP production at final assembly sites working fewer than 60 hours per week on average, with fewer than 4% working more than 72 hours per week.Became the first IT company to require direct employment of foreign migrant workers in our supply chain through the HP Foreign Migrant Worker Standard.

Employees

We aim to attract, motivate and empower the most talented people in the fast-moving and ultra-competitive information technology (IT) industry with compelling career development opportunities, a supportive work environment, recognition, and rewards.

Achieved 80% participation of all employees worldwide in our Voice of the Workforce survey, which found that overall employee engagement remained strong at 70%.Worked with the Rainbow PUSH coalition as well as numerous other experts and organizations to address issues of diversity and inclusion in our industry, and deepened our long-standing commitment to transparency in continuing to publish comprehensive employee diversity data.Launched Matter to a Million, our global employee engagement initiative providing capital to low-income entrepreneurs in partnership with a nonprofit micro-lender. Combined with additional HP Company Foundation contributions, this equaled more than $5.9 million in loans.

Integrity

Human rights

We take an uncompromising stance on human rights in our own operations, and we make compelling arguments to others to do the same. Over the course of the last year, HP was proud to contribute to multi-stakeholder initiatives led by the Global Business Initiative on Human Rights, the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, Social Accountability International and BSR.

Corporate ethics

We adhere to the highest ethical standards by supporting our employees in making the right decisions. While our industry-leading practices and policies in this area are well-known, each year we strive to make even greater progress.

Privacy

We implement rigorous policies and procedures to safeguard personal data that we hold or process, and we support these priorities through a rigorous program designed to train our employees and engage external stakeholders. By way of example, in 2014, HP helped lead efforts to develop the Unified Ethical Frame for Big Data Analysis, a groundbreaking initiative from the Information Accountability Foundation that has met with unheralded support from regulators, companies, and the privacy community.

Government relations

We advocate with transparency and integrity to promote laws and regulations that encourage economic growth and innovation in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
