Global Head of Social Impact, HP Inc.
“The HP culture has long been built on the belief that how we do things is just as important as what we do. Recent events have laid bare the systemic racism and deep inequalities that remain a stain on society, and it’s imperative for all companies to act with urgency on all fronts."
Enrique Lores, President & Chief Executive Officer, HP Inc.
“The events of 2020 challenge us to rethink nearly every aspect of how we live, work, and grow as a society. Taking a pause to recognize where we are and identifying where we need to improve and accelerate to achieve the future to which we aspire, is an important step on our Sustainable Impact journey.”
Ellen Jackowski, Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer, HP Inc.
“We know there is an urgent and unfortunate intersection between environmental justice and the negative impact of climate change on communities of color and other underrepresented groups, especially girls. We also know that advocacy and change can gain significant momentum through storytelling. We’re thrilled to support Girl Rising in the quest to share how young leaders are fighting for human rights, racial justice, gender equity and education advancement for girls and boys globally.”
Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact, HP Inc.
