Reducing Our Impact

HP's number one goal is to improve customers' lives by providing simple, valuable and trusted technology. We wholly integrate environmental considerations into our business strategy because this results in better products. We manage our facilities and conduct our business activities to minimize environmental impacts and promote the welfare and safety of our employees and customers.

Worldwide, HP employs over 300,000 people in more than 170 countries. We recognize that the large size of our operations comes with large responsibilities. We are always striving to minimize our footprint, and have made HP operations a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Chemical Emissions

HP's emissions to air from our facility operations are relatively small, and we have equipment and processes in place to control those that do occur. Though there is little impact in this area, we will continue to report what is legally required.
