Letter from President and CEO Dion Weisler
At HP, we’re 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.
We’re 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.
We’re 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, we’re 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 are—including 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.
We’re proud of our progress, and we’re inspired by the positive impact we’re seeing. But there’s 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.
