Implementing CSR 2.0 in Canada
HP Canada practices corporate social responsibility (CSR) 2.0. This new CSR—called systemic or radical CSR, or CSR 2.0—is based on five principles: creativity, scalability, responsiveness, locality, and circularity.
Mobilizing Knowledge across Canada
HP Canada's Head of Sustainable Impact, Frances Edmonds, has a passion for developing and implementing global environmental education and volunteer programs for HP. Frances is both a guest lecturer and speaker on a range of topics including the circular economy and sustainable procurement, as seen on various stages including TEDx.
Leadership and Recognition in Canada
Recognizing and celebrating leadership in sustainability is a key factor in the transition to a clean economy and HP has worked closely with Delta management to ensure the ongoing success of the Clean50 Awards, which does just that. Canada's Clean50 Awards annually identifies, celebrates, and connects the 50 individuals from every sector of Canadian life, whose leadership has most impacted environmental sustainability in Canada. The annual Clean 50 Summit brings the pas and present honorees together and encourages cross-sectoral problem solving seeking innovative solutions and future collaborations.
HP is proud of the integral role we play in facilitating the Clean50. For over 15 years, HP has provided both financial and technical support to the Clean50 and funded not-for profit organizations and other alumni to attend the Clean50 Summit.
In 2017, HP created a new award category for sustainable procurement to celebrate leadership in this critical area and has been funding the award since then. HP also participates by being part of the advisory panel, providing technology assistance, consulting, and facilitating sessions during the event.
HP Canada Green Initiatives
Supporting Canadian Climate Literacy research & education
HP & Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF) have been partnering on sustainability education for over a decade. In the last 6 years, HP has supported the federally funded LSF Climate Literacy surveys. This important work to uncover knowledge gaps and share this information is critical to advancing sustainability in Canada. The most recent (3rd) survey titled "From Awareness to Action offers some encouraging and thought-provoking insights into how Canadians are feeling and helps drive HP's support for LSF.
Employee volunteering in Canada
HP Canada’s employees volunteer year-round to promote climate action. We hold annual cleanups around our headquarters in support of Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup, organize regular tree planting events with Credit Valley Conservation, and contribute to citizen science platforms that enable environmental conservation, including Zooniverse, InstantWild, and iNaturalist.
Catalyzing the advancement to circular procurement in Canada
Developing sustainable IT procurement tools
Green Economy Canada, with support from HP, guided ten public-sector organizations through a carefully designed 18-month pilot to illustrate the importance of sustainable procurement and how to practice it.
The pilot combined tools, resources, access to technical experts, and peer-based learning with a guided, action-oriented approach to enable public sector organizations to overcome the knowledge, capacity, and internal support barriers to embedding sustainable procurement practices.
Read the white paper Buying A Better Future to learn more.
Download the key tools used in the pilot at no cost:
- The Self-Assessment Tool allows organizations to benchmark their sustainable IT procurement performance.
- The RFX Guide provides specific guidance on criteria to include in bid documents to evaluate the sustainability performance of IT vendors and their services/products.
Product-as-a-Service: How to Guide
Researchers from BCIT's School of Business collaborated with Circular Economy Leadership Canada (CELC), HP Canada, and Shift & Build to develop a how-to-guide for BaaS, a powerful shift from ownership towards access.
This is fundamental to advancing sustainable procurement, adapting the focus from the product itself to the value, experience, and outcomes it delivers instead. This guidance document provides an overview of the circular economy, the differences in traditional purchasing models compared to BaaS, implementation guidance (including change management), and additional tools/resources.
