HELPING WORKERS THRIVE REDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITY RATES
We strive to protect and empower all workers across our
value chain. These efforts help ensure that the people who
make our products can thrive at work, at home, and in
their communities. We are also using technology to improve access to healthcare.
Our work with the Women’s Obstetrical Neonatal Death
Evaluation & Reduction (WONDER) project is one example.
With one of the largest supply chains in the world, we
recognize that we can greatly influence a wide range of
companies to act with integrity, fairness, and accountability
in relation to their employees. This include insisting that
all workers have safe working conditions and freely chosen
employment. For example, we were the first IT company to
require direct employment of foreign migrant workers through
the HP Supply Chain Foreign Migrant Worker Standard.
We are also committed to addressing forced labor risks in
our supply chain, and actively engage in efforts to combat
human trafficking and modern slavery. These efforts have
been recognized by KnowTheChain, which ranked HP as
one of the top companies in its 2018 benchmarking of
ICT companies.

“Supply Chain 2020” on page 10.
CATALYZE POSITIVE CHANGE IN
COMMUNITIES WHERE WE LIVE,
WORK, AND DO BUSINESS
At HP, we know that technology can connect communities to
a world of opportunity. As a company, we’ve embraced our
role in creating positive change in the communities where
we live, work, and do business.
A key focus area revolves around improving access to
education. Through our products and solutions, global
programs, and strategic partnerships, we are helping deliver
quality technology-enabled learning that engages students,
empowers educators, and unlocks economic opportunity.
An example of this is our efforts to use technology to help
displaced individuals learn new and marketable skills to re-
establish their livelihoods. In one program, we worked with
our partners to launch HP Learning Studios in Lebanon and
Jordan that are helping refugees learn new, transferrable, in-
demand skills to enhance their employment opportunities. HP
Learning Studios are “kits” equipped with hardware, software,
and teacher training services that inspire instructional
innovation and next-generation learning experiences.
This program is part of a $20 million commitment HP has
made to enable better learning outcomes for 100 million
people by 2025. Since 2015 more than 14.5 million students
and adult learners have benefited from HP’s education
programs. To learn more about these programs, read the
article, “Better Learning Creates Better Outcomes for All”
on page 14.
Reinventing to Make a Sustainable Impact
The WONDER project is helping combat maternal mortality
in India by collecting actionable patient data in time to deliver
preventive care to patients most at risk with no access to care.
Through the project, clinicians at three general hospitals, five
primary health centers, and sub-centers in remote areas in
India monitor the health and well-being of pregnant women,
gathering patient vital signs through a Bluetooth-enabled,
wearable biometric device. The vital signs are then updated
automatically into the project’s electronic health record
(EHR) system, where clinicians can immediately recognize
warning signs regarding the health of the patient.
Using an application installed on HP notebook and tablet
PCs, clinicians can pull data directly from the biometric
devices. In clinic or hospital settings, the data transmits
in real time from the HP devices to servers and is sent to
the EHR system for viewing on HP Healthcare Edition
Displays at nurses’ stations. Even in the most remote areas,
the data on the HP tablets can be accessed by healthcare
workers, enabling them to alert women of the need to receive
preventative care. The information is securely stored on the
HP tablets until the visiting healthcare worker reaches an
Internet-enabled spot for connecting to the server.
DRIVING LASTING IMPROVEMENTS
Today, corporations are expected to do more than just
generate profit. They are expected to advance important
social causes, address global challenges, and conduct
business with the highest levels of integrity. In fact, new
research by Edelman shows that 56 percent of consumers
have no respect for CEOs who remain silent on social issues.
At HP, how we do things is as important as what we do. We
work every day to earn the trust of our stakeholders and
uphold our reputation for integrity and ethical leadership.
Our values are deeply rooted in our heritage and are
embedded into our operating model and business strategy.
We continue to look for ways to raise the bar, challenge
ourselves, and reinvent our company to drive lasting
improvements to the planet, people, and communities where
we live, work, and do business.
1. Intensity is calculated as the portion of first-tier production and product trans-
portation suppliers’ reported GHG emissions attributable to HP divided by
HP’s annual revenue. This method normalizes performance based on business
productivity. Intensity is reported as a three-year rolling average to decrease
the impact of variance year over year and highlight longer-term trends. Pro-
duction supplier GHG emissions include Scope 1 and Scope 2.
2. This continues a goal from before the separation of Hewlett-Packard Company
on November 1, 2015, extending the goal to 2025. Includes data from suppliers
associated with HP Inc. and HP Inc. pre-separation business units.
