HP’s
sustainable impact journey
L
ast year in HP’s Sustainable Impact Report, the company announced its agenda to become one of the most sustainable IT Companies. In the report, HP’s President and CEO, Enrique
Lores announced its ambitious plans to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, with a 50% reduction in absolute emissions by the end of this decade. HP claims to have already achieved a 9% absolute reduction since 2019 but says it wants to accelerate this momentum. To date HP has put a keen focus on its use of materials and how to
keep them in circular use with the aim of reducing its footprint. In line with this, HP has already made significant progress in reducing its plastic waste by using more recycled plastic. Te company has also reduced its single-use plastic packaging by 44% compared to 2018. It has also increased its use of postconsumer recycled content plastic across its personal systems and print product portfolio to 13%, with the aim of boosting this to 30% by 2025.
HP is partnering with leading conservation and environmental
organisations, including the likes of the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, the Arbor Day Foundation, and the Jane Goodall Institute, to invest in forest restoration and responsible management to counteract deforestation for non-HP paper used in HP printers and print services. Since 2020, all HP brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays have been derived from recycled or certified sources. Finally, the company is broadening its impact by engaging its
hundreds of production suppliers and thousands of non-production suppliers in sustainability programs. In early 2022, HP expanded its Amplify Impact channel partner
program to enable its partners to advance their own sustainable impact journeys. Here we speak with HP (Winner of this year’s PCR Awards Gaming
Monitors Vendor of the Year) to find out more about its commitment to sustainability and how it is getting involved with local communities to accelerate these goals.
What community focused projects is HP currently involved in? HP has a Forest Positive programme, which means we restore forests and plant more trees than we use in our printing products and print services, helping to create enduring positive change for forest environments. With the launch of HP Sustainable Forests Collaborative in 2020, we work with partners to restore, protect, and transition forests to sustainable management practices. Since 2020, all HP brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays have been derived from recycled or certified sources. HP is collaborating with the Arbor Day Foundation (ADF) to organise local tree planting across the UK & Ireland (UK&I). Te
