HP's global environmental strategy addresses the convergence of technology and conservation to reduce environmental impact. With the WWF we aim to reach across the globe and set a new standard for environmental leadership. HP has been a member of Climate Savers since 2008 and between 2005 and 2008 reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by over 4 million metric tons through product innovations and operational efficiencies, and 1.9 million metric tons through product recovery, telepresence and managed print services⁽¹⁾. In 2009, HP pledged new corporate targets for emissions reductions and product efficiency:

• By 2013, we will reduce our global GHG emissions by 20% below⁽²⁾ 2005 levels. We will report and verify carbon dioxide emissions from our facilities
• We will develop energy efficiency measurements across all of our product categories and work to improve product environmental performance. Our goal is to reduce the energy consumption and associated GHG emissions of all our products to 40% below 2005 levels by 2011⁽³⁾.
• We will educate key stakeholders about climate change and share best practices
• We will leverage HP technology to advance the science and practice of combating climate change
