Letter from our President and CEO

For more than 80 years , HP has prided itself on being a highperformance , purpose-driven company that , through the technology we create and the values we uphold , contributes to a better future .
I am immensely proud of the work our teams are doing to carry on these values . It ’ s not always been easy , and we don ’ t always get it right . No company does . But we are making steady progress , knowing that the long-term success of our business depends upon the wellbeing of the people and communities we serve .
This mindset was instilled in the culture of HP by our founders and today , it has never been more important . Because when you think about the sheer scale of the challenges we face — from the growing threats of climate change to persistent inequality — it ’ s clear we have a lot more work ahead .
That ’ s why , at HP , we don ’ t treat Sustainable Impact as a separate initiative . It ’ s deeply embedded into how we run the company — from the way we design , manufacture and distribute our products , to the services and solutions we create to meet changing customer needs , to the investments we make to help people reach their full potential .
We ’ re constantly pushing ourselves to challenge the status quo and lead our industry forward . And we ’ re holding ourselves accountable , which is why every member of our executive leadership team is responsible for achieving specific goals each year .
Make no mistake : this work isn ’ t just good for the world , it ’ s good for our business . In 2022 , more than 60 % of our revenue met the Corporate Knights standard for sustainable revenue . This reflects the continued trend of customers choosing products and services that help reduce environmental impact — a trend we expect will only accelerate .
As a company , this makes our Climate Action , Human Rights and Digital Equity initiatives all the more important . Two years ago , we announced one of the industry ’ s most ambitious environmental and social impact agendas . Now , in our 22nd annual Sustainable Impact Report , I ’ m pleased to share how we are building on them .
Becoming More Sustainable & Just
HP is 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 . This starts with what we sell , and I ’ m proud that more than 95 % of home and office printers , laptops , notebooks , displays , and workstations shipped to customers in 2022 included recycled materials .
Importantly , we ’ re not just accounting for our own footprint . We are going beyond by reducing our Scope 3 emissions . We have helped our suppliers cut their own carbon emissions by 1.7 million tonnes , and more than 3,500 of our channel partners across 40 countries have made their own sustainability commitments through our HP Amplify Impact program .
As we work to protect our planet , we ’ re also empowering people — both inside HP and across our communities . In the U . S ., 46 % of our new hires in 2022 self-identified as ethnic or racial minorities . Ultimately , we believe companies perform at their best when they attract diverse talent from all walks of life . And by helping people to reach their full potential while protecting human rights across our supply chain , we can help build stronger communities , societies , and economies .
This includes helping to close the digital divide . While the digital economy holds promise for so many people around the world , it also threatens to leave billions behind . That ’ s why we ’ re working to expand access to technology while creating training , curriculum and partnerships that empower
underserved communities . Overall , we have now accelerated digital equity for 21 million people . That ’ s up four-fold since 2021 as we work toward our goal of 150 million by 2030 .
This report provides a deeper look at each of these efforts . You will see areas where we ’ re doing well , and others where we need to improve . This is not about patting ourselves on the back — it ’ s about being transparent and outlining the steps we are taking to continue our progress .
HP has never been a company that shies away from challenges . It ’ s one that creates solutions beyond what we previously thought possible . And by harnessing that same spirit of innovation , we can keep changing the world for the better .
Saludos ,
Enrique Lores President and CEO
