HP was built on the values of diversity and inclusion, fairness and equality. As a company led by our values, we cannot turn our heads from the systemic racism millions of people suffer from on a daily basis
HP is committed to embracing a culture that is not only against racism, but is actively anti-racist, and to using HP’s platform, technology, and resources as a force for positive change.
Moving forward. Driving change.
“Diversity and inclusion, fairness and equality are part of the character of our company, and there has never been a more important time for us to be guided by these values. They strengthen our culture, unite our teams and inspire new forms of progress in our communities.”
Enrique Lores, President & CEO , HP Inc. (2020)
HP Racial Equality and Social Justice Task Force
HP is currently implementing actions across the company through our diversity, equity, and inclusion people strategies and is accelerating this work through the HP Racial Equality and Social Justice Task Force.
The Task Force will identify and execute on the biggest opportunities we have as a company to drive sustainable impact in racial equality by working across three main areas: people, industry, and local and national influence.
“A company has a responsibility beyond making a profit for stockholders; it has a responsibility to recognize the dignity of its employees as human beings, to the wellbeing of its customers, and to the community at large.”
David Packard in 1995 - Co-founder, Hewlett-Packard Company
Social impact goals
The focus of the Task Force is to build measurable and sustainable impact for our employees, our industry, our community and the planet.
