Taking urgent and decisive action to achieve net zero carbon emissions across our entire value chain, give back more to forests than we take, and innovate our products and services for a more circular economy.
Working to counteract deforestation
Once the second largest forest in the world, Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is almost 90% gone. Now it’s undergoing reforestation efforts through local organizations, including Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), and is supported by HP’s partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Tracking our goals
The goal:
Smaller footprint
Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from global operations by 65% by 2025, compared to 2015.1
Where we’re at:
Reduced by 61%
HP's global operations produced 151,500 tonnes of Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2e emissions, 61% less than our 2015 baseline.
The goal:
Circularity
Reach 75% circularity for products and packaging, by 2030.2
Where we’re at:
Reached 40%
Circularity, by weight.3
The goal:
Counteract deforestation
for non-HP paper used in our products and print services by 2030.4 Continue to source only sustainable fiber for all HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays.5
Where we’re at:
32%
During the year, we addressed 32% of our total fiber footprint for paper used in our products and print services.6,7
Recognition for our impact
HP has achieved triple “A” scores from CDP for transparency and action on climate, forests, and water security for four consecutive years, and has also been recognized as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader.
Progress at a glance
US $80m
of additional funds pledged in October 2021 to expand our partnership with WWF to help address the potential forest impacts of 17 million tonnes of paper used in consumer and commercial HP printers over 10 years.
Nearly 2m
trees planted with partners like the Arbor Day Foundation, WWF, and Conservation International.
18.7m
plastic bottles’ worth of ocean-bound plastic diverted and used in 277 personal systems products launched since 2019.8
78%+
More than 78% of our Original HP ink cartridges contain 5%–75% postconsumer recycled content, and 100% of Original HP toner cartridges contain 1%–79% postconsumer or postindustrial recycled content.9
32,200 tonnes
of postconsumer recycled content plastic used in HP products, equivalent to 15% of overall plastic use in 2022.
55%
of our global electricity consumption procured and generated by HP's global operations was renewable electricity in 2022.
Carbon emissions
HP’s carbon footprint in 2022 equaled 26,899,500 tonnes of CO2e, 18% less than in 2019.
Smaller footprint, greater efficiency
The science is clear. So are our goals.
Our near term GHG reduction targets have been validated by SBTi.

Forests
Collaborative
A more circular approach
1. Keeping products and
materials in use
Initiatives such as the HP Device Recovery Service encourage the return of used devices to extend their lifespan.
2. Designing responsibly to
reduce waste
Intelligent design solutions meet 3 key principles: eliminate waste, innovate with materials, and make products circular.
3. Regenerating natural
ecosystems
Preserving Earth’s natural resources means addressing deforestation and reusing ocean-bound plastics.
4. Leading the way to forest
positive
An ongoing commitment to forest management and reforestation with responsibly sourced paper and packaging.
Fighting for forests
We’re taking urgent steps to prevent deforestation and support responsible forest management.11
Supporting reforestation around the world
HP is investing in the conservation and protection of forests across the United States and in multiple countries around the world. See a few examples of how we’re working with our partners to conserve critical forests around the globe.

Percentage of HP’s total annual product and packaging content, by weight, that will come from recycled and renewable materials and reused products and parts by 2030.
Percentage of HP’s total annual product and packaging content, by weight, that comes from recycled and renewable materials and reused products and parts. 2022 data does not include the following products or packaging for these products: Scitex-branded and 3D printing products, or personal systems accessories and print accessories sold separately.
Fiber by weight will be 1) certified to rigorous third-party standards, 2) recycled, or 3) balanced by forest restoration, protection, and other initiatives through HP’s Forest Positive Framework.
HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays are derived from certified and recycled sources, with a preference for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification. Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper-based materials inside the box.
During 2022, HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays equaled 5% of our fiber footprint. We calculate the annual tonnage for paper used in our products and print services that will be addressed through projects with civil society forestry organizations to counteract possible deforestation by taking the estimated total annual tonnage of paper consumed in the use of our printing products and print services minus the weight of such paper that we mitigate internally, through our responsible sourcing programs. See HP Forest positive accounting manual.
All HP-brand paper is derived from certified sources; paper-based packaging for PCs, displays, home and office print, and supplies is reported by suppliers as recycled or certified, with a minimum of 97% by volume verified by HP. Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper-based materials inside the box. Packaging for commercial, industrial, and 3D products, scanners, personal systems accessories, and spare parts is not included.
Calculation based on 16.9 ounce “single serve” bottled water containers.
Percentage for Original HP toner cartridges does not include toner bottles. See hp.com/go/TonerRecycledContent for list. Percentage for Original HP ink cartridges does not include ink bottles and other products not listed. See hp.com/go/InkRecycledContent for list.
