To reach that goal, we are » HP profile focusing our broad portfolio of products and services on » Priorities and goals simplifying our customers' experiences with technology and » Economic value helping them do what they want to do from wherever they are. Being a leading company starts with strong financial performance. In fiscal 2006, HP revenue increased 6 percent to $91.7 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share increased 46 percent to $2.38. And we achieved the most balanced profit mix by business group and region that HP has seen in years. It also means leading in citizenship. HP has a long-standing commitment to operate with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Our failure to meet our own principles during an HP investigation into leaks of sensitive company information has led us to redouble our commitment to adhere to our core values, high standards of ethics, privacy and other aspects of global citizenship. To that end, we will continue to build on our legacy of responsible conduct and sound corporate governance across the company and wherever we do business. The way we see it, global citizenship and business success go hand in hand. In fact, global citizenship is the "hidden component" in HP products – embedded in our design and engineering, including accessibility, energy efficiency and recycling. It's also an important part of how we operate our business, from responsible supply chain management to the steps we're taking to reduce our own environmental footprint. HP's global citizenship efforts – such as our Technology for Teaching grants, supplier diversity and stakeholder engagement programs – demonstrate the principles that guide these efforts. They are also reflected in our continued support for the UN Global Compact. 3 HP FY06 Global Citizenship Report - Web Content We're building on a long history of investing in communities around the world and addressing issues of concern to our customers and other stakeholders. For example, we launched our Design for Environment program in 1992, and we have been doing research on energy efficiency for more than a decade. Those investments have helped us develop innovative solutions for problems such as the growing cost of powering and cooling data centers (see Energy – Products). In 2006, HP introduced a new energy management system that significantly increases energy efficiency, cuts data center cooling costs by 15-40 percent and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our global citizenship program is constantly evolving to address the areas that are most important to our business and our stakeholders. Our priorities are supply chain responsibility, energy efficiency and product reuse and recycling. HP's success depends on our ability to create the best technology on the planet and to be the best at servicing and supporting that technology. Being a successful global business also means being a responsible global citizen – one that recognizes the responsibility we have to our customers, shareholders, partners, suppliers and employees. People want to work with companies that are environmentally and socially responsible, that practice good governance, that protect the privacy and security of their customers and that invest in the communities where they do business. That's the kind of global citizen we are and will continue to be at HP. Throughout this report you will find many examples of what we're doing to live up to that.

Leadership requires commitment across this spectrum of issues and focus on the most critical areas. In 2006, we reviewed our global citizenship strategy and revised our priorities for the coming year based on the strategic importance of issues to our business, stakeholder concerns and our ability to have a positive impact. Our revised priorities heighten the emphasis on environmental issues, in particular energy efficiency and product reuse and recycling. Supply chain responsibility has been a priority for several years and we maintain our focus in this area. We will continue our activities to increase access to information technology (IT) globally, although this is no longer one of our top three global citizenship priorities. These are our global citizenship priorities for the coming year: Supply chain responsibility In 2006, HP spent approximately $50 billion on materials, manufacturing and transportation, in one of the IT industry's largest supply chains.
