We developed a version of our report with customers in mind. It features HP solutions and best practices to help enterprises and other organizations address pressing global citizenship issues.
Our five pillars
We focus our global citizenship initiatives on five areas: ethics and compliance, human rights and labor practices, environmental sustainability, privacy, and social investment. Collectively, these areas span our entire business, influencing our priorities, operations, product development and brand differentiation.
Making the business case
Customers are giving global citizenship greater weight in their IT purchasing decisions, making it increasingly important to our business. Global citizenship is also key to responding to new opportunities, increasing the efficiency our operations, strengthening our relationships with stakeholders, and attracting and retaining exceptional employees.
Upholding Standards of Business Conduct
Regardless of tenure, title or responsibilities, everyone at HP is expected to be an ethical leader. Last year, we trained 97% of employees in our Standards of Business Conduct (SBC) and introduced a simpler, values-based version of the SBC in more than 20 languages.
A central hub for compliance
In 2008, we strengthened leadership of our Compliance Office to promote greater consistency across our global organization. The office works with other groups within HP to provide a holistic view of governance, risk and compliance to senior management.
Raising supply chain standards
HP is leading a new approach to strengthening social and environmental standards in the global IT supply chain. We collaborate with local NGOs to train suppliers in building capabilities and making systemic improvements to protect workers and the environment.
Fostering employee success
Our HP culture rewards performance, provides opportunities for training and advancement, and encourages open, honest communications and respect for all. We remain focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce.
Supply chain audit performance
We have made it easy to review in-depth results of our supplier audits—either globally or by region—with an interactive tool that presents data, explains major causes of nonconformance and highlights challenges and HP’s response.
Engaging society
HP unconditionally supports human rights and promotes higher standards in our employment practices and throughout our supply chain. We collaborate with others to share our progress in these areas and raise awareness of human rights issues.
Sustainable design
In 2008, we introduced the HP Eco Highlights label, which helps customers understand the environmental attributes of more than 115 products. Through our Design for Environment program, we focus on energy efficiency, materials innovation and design for recyclability.
Climate and energy
HP was the first IT company to report the greenhouse gas emissions of key suppliers, and we are on track to reduce the energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions of our operations and products to 25% below 2005 levels by 2010.
Showcasing impact
Visit our gallery of sustainable design example—new to this year’s report—highlighting HP solutions that increase productivity and lower costs while improving environmental sustainability.
Reuse and recycling
In 2008, we recovered for reuse 75 million pounds (34,000 tonnes) of hardware units and recycled 265 million pounds (120,000 tonnes) of electronic products and supplies, increases of 16% and 6% compared with 2007.
HP’s accountability model
Our groundbreaking approach to protecting privacy goes beyond legal and industry norms. We review all decisions related to privacy not only for compliance but also for our values, customer expectations and a range of potential business risks, and hold ourselves accountable for our actions.
Collaborating on solutions
HP works with regulators and nongovernmental organizations such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperative and the European Commission to advance thinking and develop new frameworks for protecting the electronic flow of information across borders.
Innovations in education
We believe technology can be a catalyst in addressing inequalities in education and fostering the next generation of skilled workers and entrepreneurs. In 2008, HP invested nearly $20 million in programs that apply technology in creative ways to transform the learning experience, particularly in science, technology and engineering, and math.
Entrepreneurship education
HP supports organizations and programs that help cultivate socially minded entrepreneurs, particularly in developing regions. Our goal is to increase the number of entrepreneurs using technology to launch and grow small businesses, crucial to creating jobs and spurring economic growth in local communities.

Number stated incorrectly in the HP FY07 Global Citizenship Report.
HP will reduce the combined energy consumption and associated GHG emissions of HP operations and products to 25 percent below 2005 levels by achieving the following:
Operations
HP will reduce energy consumption and the resulting GHG emissions from HP-owned and HP-leased facilities worldwide to 16 percent below 2005 levels
Products
HP will reduce the energy consumption of HP products1 and associated GHG emissions through specific goals for representative product categories, including the following goals for HP's high-volume printer, server, and desktop and notebook PC families:
By 2011, HP will improve the overall energy efficiency of HP ink and laser printing products by 40 percent, relative to 20052
By 2010, improve energy efficiency for high-volume HP server families by 50 percent, relative to 20053
By 2010, reduce the energy consumption of high-volume HP desktop and notebook PC families by 25 percent, relative to 20054
2012
Double voluntary purchases of renewable energy to 8 percent by 2012 (in addition to the renewable energy available by default in the power grid)
1
Average energy efficiency per unit shipped using IDC-reported figures for 2005, across identified high-volume product families, using industry standard measurement benchmarks. Identified product families include notebook and desktop computers, inkjet and LaserJet printers, and industry-standard servers.
2
Efficiency is defined in terms of kWh (using the Total Electricity Consumption Method/pages per minute). These families represent more than 32 percent of inkjet printers and more than 45 percent of LaserJet printers shipped in 2005. HP updated this goal from the goal included in the FY07 Global Citizenship Report, which targeted a 30 percent improvement in energy efficiency by 2010, relative to 2005.
3
Efficiency is defined in terms of kWh/transactions per minute (using SPEC or another benchmark appropriate to the server class). Goal applies to HP industry-standard servers, referenced in footnote 1.
4
Energy consumption is defined as watts consumed in idle mode (using the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR® test protocol). Idle mode represents over 75 percent of total energy consumption. The improvement will be calculated by averaging the energy consumption of HP desktop and notebook platforms across shipped volume.
Report energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions in HP's first-tier suppliers, representing more than 70 percent of our materials, components and manufacturing supplier spend
