As a technology industry environmental leader for decades, HP is making a difference with a comprehensive Design for the Environment Strategy that touches upon every aspect of our business, including our products and services, development and scientific research, supply chain and operations throughout the world. We feel this gives us an unmatched ability to drive simplicity, to innovate, to influence industry action and to drive our own stewardship in a way that is good for customers, good for business and good for the planet.

Design for Environment program

 

HP’s product Design for Environment program has three priorities

  • Energy efficiency – reduce the energy needed to manufacture and use our products
  • Materials innovation – reduce the amount of materials used in our products and develop materials that have less environmental impact and more value at end-of-life
  • Design for recyclability – design equipment that is easier to upgrade or recycle

Energy consumption goal

HP’s goal is to reduce the combined energy consumption of HP operations and products 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2010.


Products meeting eco-label standards

HP offers over a thousand products that meet key eco-label programs, such as ENERGY STAR, Canada Environmental Choice, Blue Angel (Germany), TCO (Sweden), and China CECP energy.


Recycling history and goals

HP started recycling in 1987 and now has recycling services in more than 50 countries, regions and territories. In July 2007, HP met its goal of recycling 1 billion pounds of electronics and HP print cartridges six months early. HP has a new goal of recovering a cumulative 2 billion pounds of electronics and print cartridges by the end of 2010, doubling its annual recovery rate.


Supply chain social and environmental responsibility program

With the largest supply chain in the IT industry, HP is raising labor and environmental standards by working collaboratively with suppliers, conducting audits and building local capabilities. HP led the development of the industry's first Electronics Industry Code of Conduct to extend our social and environmental standards to our supply chain.
