One initiative is the equivalent of taking 211 million
passenger cars off the road for a year
Our partnership with Walmart is a case in point. Like HP,
Walmart believes a commitment to sustainability can
deliver significant and lasting environmental and social
benefits, while improving the operation of its business.
In 2017, Walmart announced an ambitious supply chain
initiative, called Project Gigaton. Through this initiative,
Walmart is working with suppliers, like HP, to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 1 billion metric tons from the
production and use of the products it sells between 2015
and 2030. To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent
of taking more than 211 million passenger vehicles off the
road for one year. As a leader in sustainability, we will also support Walmart’s
efforts by sharing best practices, case studies, and other
information that we believe could help other companies as
they set their emissions goals and work toward them.
HP is supporting Project Gigaton through GHG emissions
reduction goals we set in three areas: 1. HP product GHG emissions intensity measures GHG emissions during
product lifetime use per unit for personal systems and per printed page for
printers based on anticipated lifetime usage. These values are then weighted
by contribution of personal systems and printing products to overall revenue
in the current year. These emissions represent more than 99 percent of HP
product units shipped each year, including notebooks, tablets, desktops, mobile
computing devices, and workstations; and HP inkjet, LaserJet, DesignJet,
Indigo, and Scitex printers, and scanners.
• Products: Reduce the GHG emissions intensity of
our product portfolio by 25 percent by 2020, compared

to 2010
• Deforestation: Achieve zero deforestation associated
with HP brand paper and paper-based product

packaging by 2020
•
Emissions: Reduce the GHG emissions from our global
operations by 25 percent by 2025, compared to 2015

HP and its partners believe that sustainability is an
innovation that drives brand loyalty, increases employee
engagement, and delivers long-term business success.
Working together—and with other businesses and
organizations across multiple industries—we are helping
build a future where sustainability is part of the very fabric
of business.
2. Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper (including
packaging and materials) inside the box.
