Milestones achieved in these areas by HP in fiscal 2005 include:
cartridges -- nearly 17 percent more than in 2004 -- which
represents clear progress toward the company's goal of
recycling 1 billion pounds of materials by the end of 2007.
code of conduct in China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Indonesia,
Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland and Thailand,
exceeding HP's goal to audit 75 sites.
countries across six continents through HP's e-inclusion and
philanthropy and education initiatives.
"The 2006 Global Citizenship Report represents our company's worldwide effort to report transparently on progress we have made against our global citizenship objectives," said Diana Bell, senior vice president, Corporate Affairs and Total Customer Experience & Quality, HP. "We take pride in our progress and the efforts of our many committed employees, even as we acknowledge the work that lies ahead."
Where appropriate, HP's Global Citizenship Report uses Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines as a basis for reporting. The GRI is a multi-stakeholder institution that publishes globally applicable sustainability reporting guidelines.
