HP helps forests thrive for people and planet
HP is helping improve how working forests are managed, protecting wild spaces, and restoring forests to create lasting impact for forests, people and climate.1
See the forest & the trees
Forests are key in helping confront climate change, but nearly half of the world’s forests are under threat . Our approach to forest conservation goes beyond planting trees—involving partnerships with recognized environmental organizations, designing products and services to reduce environmental impact, and sharing tools for more responsible printing.
Product innovation
We’re making sustainability a key part of our design process, and we’re developing solutions that result in less waste or increase recycled content.
Forest partnerships
We work with recognized nonprofit organizations on a science-based approach to forest conservation.
Well-Managed Forestry for Paper
HP branded paper sourcing aligns with the FSC framework, which provides assurance that products sold with an FSC claim originate from well managed forests, controlled sources, reclaimed materials, or a mixture of these.
Together, We Grow
When you choose HP, you're also supporting forests and biodiversity. This year, HP is contributing $1,000,000 to WWF in support of forest conservation efforts.8
How you can help support forest conservation
Exploring the natural world with kids.
Print HP x WWF educational materials from WWF’s Wild Classroom—fun resources designed to help children understand and appreciate forests.
Symbolically adopting a forest animal.
Support WWF’s efforts to protect wild animals and their habitats by choosing a symbolic species adoption kit featuring iconic forest animals, including jaguars and koalas.
Choosing forest-friendly products. Look for the Forest.

Your guide to Forest-friendly printing
Here are things to keep in mind when printing at home or in the office.
Use responsibly-sourced paper
Look for well-known forestry management certifications such as the preferred Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These certifications follow strict standards including chain-of-custody to ensure that paper can be traced back to the forest where it was harvested.
Print double-sided
Print double-sided whenever possible by setting your printers to double-sided printing as the default.
Buy printers with a ‘pull-printing’ feature
Pull-printing for office printers ensures that a print job can only be released when the user is present, reducing the stacks of forgotten print jobs.
Digitize your paper records
Use the free HP mobile app to digitize your paper records and other content. (Apple, Google play)
Don’t waste paper on reprints.
The outstanding print quality of Original HP Toner Cartridges can help you reduce waste compared with using non-HP toner cartridges.6
Choose Carbon Emissions Sync
HP Carbon Emissions Sync helps estimate and offset device lifecycle emissions, supporting sustainability goals from day one.
We’re in this together
HP works with scientists and experts from global nonprofit organizations to help protect and restore forests around the world.
Arbor Day
Foundation
HP works with the Arbor Day Foundation to help confront the effects of climate change across the world through forest restoration projects.
World Wildlife
Fund®
Since 2020, HP and WWF have designed and implemented conservation solutions for nearly 500,000 acres of forests across these areas, with a goal of another 500,000 more acres by 2030.
Forest Conservation in action
HP has helped conserve over half a million acres of forest since 2020 and growing. When you choose to print with HP, you support our efforts in forest restoration, protection of wild spaces, and improved management of forests that support local communities.
Protect
Our aim is to help prevent deforestation by securing land rights for Indigenous Peoples and local communities and by providing funding and resources to safeguard forest areas that are critical for climate stability and biodiversity.
Manage
In our approach, we partner with nonprofit organizations to reduce impacts to forests by helping manage the balance between the well-being of forests and human activity. This work considers the needs of communities that directly depend on forests.
Restore
HP strives to help restore the health, productivity, and biodiversity of forest landscapes around the world and invests in projects to restore streams, improve soil, reconnect wildlife habitats, and replant trees.
Where we’re helping
Together with our partners, we’re working on projects in Brazil, China and other countries. In 2022, these projects addressed 32% of our total fiber footprint for paper used in our products and print services. By 2030, the projects will cover our total footprint.
